Israel bans ‘undesirable’ United Nations Sec. Gen. Guterres from entering the country

By Seb Starcevic | Politico Israel declared the United Nations chief “undesirable” Wednesday, prohibiting him from entering the country. “I decided today to declare U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres an undesirable personality in Israel and to ban his entry into Israel,” Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz announced on social media. Guterres failed to “unequivocally condemn Iran’s criminal attack on Israel” on Tuesday, Katz said, and as a result “does not deserve to set foot on Israel’s soil.” READ THE FULL STORY AT POLITICO

Iran fires hundreds of missiles in multiple strikes into Israel, IDF issues shelter in place order

By Stephen Sorace , Liz Friden | Fox News Iran launched dozens of missiles against Israel on Tuesday, a barrage of strikes it says are in response to the deaths of Hezbollah and Hamas leaders. Israel Defense Forces (IDF) warned citizens to shelter in place and follow instructions from the Home Front Command as the Jewish State's Iron Dome anti-missile defense system works to intercept incoming rockets. "During the defense, we carried out quite a few interceptions," IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said after the attack was over. "There are some impacts in the center and areas in the south of the country." READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

IDF targets remnants of Hezbollah leadership; 20 killed alongside Nasrallah

By Joel B. Pollak | Breitbart The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) carried out airstrikes on Sunday targeting Hezbollah’s remaining officials, following the killing of leader Hassan Nasrallah on Friday, whom Israel said was killed with 20 other terrorist commanders. In a statement Sunday, the IDF said: This past Friday, in a precise airstrike carried out by the Israeli Air Force, directed by the Intelligence Directorate, fighter jets struck and eliminated Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Hezbollah terrorist organization, and Ali Karaki, the Commander of Hezbollah’s Southern Front, who was one of the remaining senior commanders in the organization before the strike. More than 20 other terrorists of varying ranks, who were present at the underground headquarters in Beirut located b...

Sloan: Paging Hezbollah… the Israelis storied no-nonsense history with terrorists

By Kelly Sloan | Contributing Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Say what you will about the Israelis, no one can accuse them of lacking a degree of chutzpah when they put their minds to dealing with terrorism. Last week’s pager and walkie-talkie detonations in the hands and waistbands of thousands of Hezbollah operatives, and the subsequent massive airstrike against the organization (timed perfectly, by the way, to take place in the middle of Hezbollah’s press conference howling about the outrage of the operation – nice touch) read like something out of James Bond or a Tom Clancy novel. It was brilliant too: the psychological impact was almost as valuable as the crippling of their communications, and denying an enemy the ability to coordinate movements, relay information, and repor...

Israel neutralizes Hamas’s military capacity in Gaza

By Limor Simhony Philpott | The Spectator Has Hamas finally been defeated in Gaza, nearly a year after it launched the most deadly attack in Israel’s history? Israel’s defense minister Yoav Gallant has proclaimed that Hamas no longer has a military capacity in Gaza.  Hamas has indeed suffered a considerable blow since October. Many of its tunnels — one of its greatest strategic assists — have been destroyed entirely or partially. Many of its commanders have been killed. Two of its top three leaders, Mohammed Deif and Marwan Issa have been eliminated, as was the organization’s political leader Ismail Haniyeh, who was assassinated in Tehran.  Although the precise number of killed Hamas terrorists is not known, it is substantial. More importantly, the elimination ...

Brown University trustee steps down over vote on Israel divestment, calling it ‘morally reprehensible’

By Jennifer Nuelle | The Daily Caller A trustee at Brown University announced his resignation on Sunday over the school’s vote on Israel divestment. The university’s highest governing body, “The Corporation,” will vote on the divestment during its October meeting, which was decided after an agreement was made between administrators and “encampment organizers” in April, according to the Brown Daily Herald. Joseph Edelman, a trustee since 2019, noted that Brown’s plan to hold a divestment vote in the first place was based on “weakness towards student activists,” not facts and values. “I find it morally reprehensible that holding a divestment vote was even considered, much less that it will be held—especially in the wake of the deadliest assault on the Jewish people since the Holocau...

Israel intensifies strikes on Lebanon, according to state media and witnesses

By AP | Breitbart After a short-lived calm following a heavy exchange of strikes between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, fighting resumed Monday. State media and witnesses reported that Israeli strikes targeted the Lebanese border village of Tair Harfa and in the area of the coastal city of Sidon on Monday afternoon. A car was hit in the latter strike. It was not immediately clear whether there were casualties On Sunday, Israel launched dozens of strikes on southern Lebanon that it described as a preemptive operation, saying it had averted a major attack planned by Hezbollah in retaliation for the killing of one of its top commanders, Fouad Shukur, in an Israeli strike in Beirut last month. Shortly afterward, Hezbollah launched a barrage of hundreds of drones ...

They have a stage set up in front of the Capitol building and are currently chanting. READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

Superior passes first-of-it-kind resolution condemning anti-Israeli protesters

By Shaun Boyd | CBS Colorado An anti-Israeli protest outside a private residence has prompted the town of Superior to take unprecedented action. Town trustees -- including one who is married to a Palestinian -- unanimously passed a resolution condemning protesters for "hate speech, antisemitism, and racism" against Jewish people. While other places have seen far bigger protests, Superior is the first municipality in the state -- and possibly the nation -- to take a stand. Trustees say protesters have the right to hateful, even racist speech, but they -- as town leaders -- have the right and responsibility to condemn it. "We typically don't wade into these types of political issues in a small, little municipality," said Mayor Mark Lacis. READ THE FULL STORY AT CBS C...
