Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah on Tuesday released video footage of Israel’s Haifa Port captured by a surveillance UAV. The port is one of Israel’s most important commercial shipping gateways.

The incident took place last week, and the Israel Defense Forces made the decision not to intercept the drone as it did not pose a threat, and due to the fear that interception fragments could harm civilians, according to Israeli media.

Following a two-day lull in hostilities earlier this week, Hezbollah resumed its attacks on Tuesday afternoon, launching three “suspicious aerial targets” toward towns in the Upper Galilee, the IDF said.

Since Oct. 8, Hezbollah has fired more than 5,000 rockets, anti-tank missiles and suicide drones at Israeli border communities.

“Look across the map,” the Pennsylvania senator said. “It’s like how much anti-Israel rhetoric you can cram into your platform.”
“I’m seeing an intensity of antisemitic attacks,” Gov. Ned Lamont told JNS. “A lot of it is energized by what’s happening in the Middle East and on social media.”
The prime minister’s office said that the U.S. president committed to a final deal that will include removal of nuclear material, dismantling enrichment facilities, limits on missiles and halting Iran’s support for terror proxies.
The ruling follows a Board of Immigration Appeals determination that Mohsen Mahdawi is deportable, a decision he is now challenging in federal court.
Rabbi Raphi Steiner told JNS that he worries that his son is growing up in an environment “wondering why some hater decided it would be a good idea to write on his shul that Jews don’t belong here.”
“Based on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republican of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved, I have, as president of the United States of America, canceled the scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran this evening,” the president said.
