Two Palestinians, Mohammed Aburidi and Tareq Aburidi—24 and 19, respectively—face up to 15 years in federal prison for illegally possessing weapons and ammunition as aliens, according to indictments that the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida unsealed on Tuesday.

The two entered the country on nonimmigrant visas, the U.S. Justice Department stated.

The fast day, considered the saddest day on the Jewish calendar, is an opportunity for “all people of moral conscience to work together to bring goodness and dispel hate,” Yeshiva University president Ari Berman told JNS.
“This is pure political theater,” stated Mike Waltz, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
U.S. Central Command said that the strikes are also “designed to further degrade Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.”
CENTCOM carries out seventh consecutive night of strikes on Iran; two U.S. service members killed in Jordan.
Another American service member is missing in action.
The terrorists were spotted operating drones and taking cover near IDF soldiers.
