Children in northern Israel were forced to rush into bomb shelters in the middle of their school day, as Hezbollah terrorists continued their relentless attacks on Israeli communities.
Cell phone video captured students running across their school grounds to take cover as air raid sirens blared and rockets were fired in their direction.
More than 20 rockets were launched at Israel in the latest barrage from Hezbollah.
Iran's terror army in Lebanon also launched attack-drones into Israel, with one crashing into a high-rise residential building in the coastal city of Nahariya.
The video below shows extensive damage inside one of the apartments.
In another attack today, Hezbollah fired three drones at the Israeli community of Shlomi, lightly injuring two Israeli soldiers.
Hezbollah took responsibility for the attacks on northern Israel.
IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi met with senior military officials today and said that “Hezbollah's strike on a residential building this morning in Nahariya is a serious incident, as is the fire directed at the citizens of the north. The IDF is operating forcefully in the north and is in a high state of readiness with operational plans ready, prepared for any mission required.”
Israeli fighter jets continued to strike Hezbollah rocket launch sites and other terrorist infrastructure in southern Lebanon.
In an important demonstration of U.S.-Israel military cooperation, U.S. CENTCOM chief Gen. Michael Kurilla landed in Israel yesterday for meetings with IDF officials to discuss the threat from Hezbollah and Iran.
America must continue to stand with Israel and ensure our ally has the ability to deter, defend against, and confront Iran and its terrorist proxies.
Congress returns to work, resolutions to block weapons to Israel expected in the Senate
Last month, the Biden administration approved five major arms sales to Israel. These weapons are essential for Israel to deter, defend against, and confront Iran and its proxies.
With Congress back in session this week, some senators may introduce resolutions to block some of these sales.
IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari revealed that the hostages—held in a tunnel with no air vents, showers, or bathrooms—were executed just hours before the IDF arrived to rescue them.
Hagari said they endured horrific conditions, with barely enough food to sustain themselves, leading to severe weight loss. The family of Eden Yerushalmi said that her body weighed just 79 pounds when it was brought back to Israel.
Israel is confronting pure evil. America must stand with Israel as it fights to destroy these barbaric terrorists and free the hostages.
Israeli Police foil attempt to smuggle 74 handguns into Israel via Jordan
As Iran fights a seven-front war against Israel, the regime is working to smuggle weapons to its terror proxies on each of Israel's borders—including along the porous eastern border with Jordan.
Today the Israeli Police announced that it foiled an attempt to smuggle 74 handguns into Israel from Jordan. The weapons were seized yesterday, on the same day that a Jordanian terrorist murdered three Israelis in an attack at the Allenby Bridge Crossing between the West Bank and Jordan.

One Year Since October 7th - with Douglas Murray
Dan Senor Call Me Back Podcast
Show notes: We did not think we would still be recording these episodes – with this focus – for one year. And yet, here we are — approaching the one-year anniversary of October 7, which will be regarded as one of the darkest days in Jewish history (and one of the darkest days in the history of Western Civilization).
As we approach the one-year anniversary, we wanted to take a step back, and spend extended time with a few of our previous guests and thought leaders who are not our go-to analysts.
We begin this series with a conversation with Douglas Murray – war journalist, columnist, and bestselling author.
