Just hours before Shabbos, Arab residents from the neighboring village of Beit Chanina breached the security fence separating their area from the Ramot neighborhood of Yerushalauyim and rode on horseback toward the Jewish community. Residents immediately alerted police, but the incident has left locals shaken and questioning whether authorities are taking the ongoing security failures seriously.

According to sources, the incident occurred along Yaakov Elazar and Ari Truman Streets, which overlook the wadi connecting to Beit Chanina. In recent weeks, residents had already filed multiple complaints to police about breaches in the dividing fence, warning that illegal infiltrators were crossing freely without intervention.

This past Friday evening, shortly before hadlokas neiros Shabbos, the fence—originally installed after October 7—was again broken open. But unlike previous occasions, this time the breach was dramatic: several Arabs on horseback galloped directly toward the entrance roads of Ramot, where many residents were on their way to shuls and parks.

Witnesses quickly called police. Officers arrived and briefly spoke with one of the infiltrators, but neighbors remain deeply concerned. “This was an unprecedented incident,” one woman said. “It’s not the first time. It has already happened several times that illegal infiltrators crossed the fence unimpeded. The feeling is that the police don’t care what’s going on here and that no responsible authority is dealing with it.”

The breach comes in the shadow of Monday morning’s deadly terror attack at Ramot Junction, intensifying public outrage over neglected security gaps.

In response, the Israel Police issued a statement: “We are acting with determination and without compromise under the authority of the Entry into Israel Law to enforce against illegal presence in the country. Numerous operational activities are carried out to locate illegal infiltrators, arrest them, bring them to justice, and transfer them to deportation procedures.”

The statement added that investigations are also opened against those who house, employ, or transport infiltrators. Police noted that vehicles used for transport can be confiscated and administrative closure orders issued against businesses or apartments where illegal residents are found.

The response concluded: “Israel Police will continue to act with all available tools, with firm and determined enforcement, to prevent illegal residence in Israel and to prosecute all parties involved.”

The Qatari Interior Ministry reported that the Israeli strike on Hamas’ headquarters in Doha killed one security officer “while carrying out his duties at the targeted site,” and added that several others were injured.

The discovery of a World War II bomb in Slovakia’s capital during construction work prompted evacuations on Tuesday, officials said. The emergency measure covered several blocks in downtown Bratislava, including a major bridge across the Danube River. Public transportation and all traffic were halted during the morning rush hour. Experts were planning to defuse the 500-pound (225-kilogram) bomb, which was discovered on Monday evening, by midday. An oil refinery located in the area was a target of the Allied bombardment in 1944 during the war. Slovakia was a Nazi puppet state during World War II. (AP)

A Nukhba terrorist who infiltrated Israel during the Simchas Torah massacre has confessed that a large majority of Gaza’s population is affiliated with terrorist organizations.

The terrorist, apprehended about two weeks ago, provided Israeli security forces with a glimpse into the internal atmosphere in Gaza and the widespread organizational ties among its residents. In a recording released by Channel 14 News, the captive terrorist is heard acknowledging that most Gazans are connected to terror factions.

“About 70 percent of Gaza’s residents belong to Hamas and Islamic Jihad, the most well-known organizations we have, and they control the area,” the terrorist said in the interrogation. “Everyone belongs to Hamas and to Islamic Jihad.”

He went on to add that, in his opinion, most people in Gaza would leave the territory if given the chance: “Seventy percent of Gaza would emigrate if they could. If they had the opportunity to cross into Egypt, it wouldn’t matter to them. The main thing is to escape the oppression of Hamas that exists in Gaza.”

Two days prior, Trump issued a “last warning” to Hamas. “I have warned Hamas about the consequences of not accepting,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account. “This is my last warning, there will not be another one!”

A 24-year-old Tennessee man admitted Tuesday to plotting a drone attack on Nashville’s power infrastructure, a case that federal officials say underscores the rising domestic threat to U.S. critical infrastructure. Skyler Philippi of Columbia, Tenn., pleaded guilty to attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to destroy an energy facility, according to the Justice Department. He faces a potential life sentence when he appears before a federal judge in January. For months, Philippi laid out a plan that prosecutors say was as elaborate as it was chilling: building or modifying a drone, strapping it with high-grade explosives like C-4 or TATP, and flying it directly into an electrical substation to trigger a chain reaction capable of shutting down power to homes, businesses, and hospitals. Philippi’s case has raised red flags in national security circles for its mix of violent extremist ideology, technical ambition, and symbolic targeting. He told undercover FBI agents he had drafted a “manifesto,” trafficked in antisemitic rhetoric, and aligned himself with neo-Nazi groups such as Atomwaffen Division and the National Alliance. Court filings detail reconnaissance trips to a substation, online research into prior grid attacks, and the purchase of explosive components. At one point, according to the DOJ, he texted an informant: “If you want to do the most damage as an accelerationist, attack high economic, high tax, political zones in every major metropolis.” Philippi was arrested last November after meeting undercover operatives in a Nashville hotel for what he described as a “New Age” ritual invoking the Norse god Odin. Prosecutors say he was preparing to attach explosives to a drone when agents moved in. Senior national security officials framed the case as a stark reminder of both the vulnerabilities of America’s energy system and the persistence of accelerationist movements intent on exploiting them. “Philippi planned to attack an energy facility with a drone containing explosives, which had the potential to knock out power to thousands of American homes and to critical facilities like hospitals,” said Donald Holstead, the FBI’s counterterrorism chief. “Protecting our communities from threats to public safety is a priority for the FBI.” The attempted attack also highlights a broader trend: domestic extremists looking to move beyond firearms to weaponized drones and explosives, a shift that worries counterterrorism officials already grappling with a patchwork national power grid and an evolving threat landscape. Philippi will be sentenced on Jan. 8, 2026. (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)

Two Arab criminals serving sentences in prisons in central Israel were designated as security prisoners after expressing joy and nationalist sentiments about the murderous Ramot terror attack in which six Israelis were murdered. In accordance with the instructions of the Prison Commissioner, the prisoners were removed from their cells, brought to a disciplinary trial, and transferred to a security prison. Thanks to National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who spearheaded a transformation in prison conditions for Palestinian security prisoners, the conditions are far less pleasant in security prisons than those “enjoyed” in prisons for common criminals. The Prison Service stated that “the measure was carried out as part of a zero-tolerance policy toward any expression of support for the enemy or disruption of order within the prisons, with the aim of maintaining prison discipline.” (YWN Israel Desk—Jerusalem)

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yisrael Katz announced on Tuesday that Israel’s targeted strike against senior Hamas leaders in Doha, Qatar, was direct retaliation for recent deadly attacks in Jerusalem and Gaza. According to the joint statement, Netanyahu instructed Israel’s security services late Monday to prepare for the elimination of Hamas leadership following “murderous attacks” that killed 6 civilians in Jerusalem and 4 soldiers in Gaza. By noon Tuesday, with the backing of the entire security establishment, Netanyahu and Katz authorized the strike, executed by the IDF and Shin Bet. The statement emphasized the precision of the operation, saying it was “executed precisely and optimally.” Netanyahu and Katz underscored that the targeted Hamas leaders were the same figures who orchestrated the October 7 massacre and have continued to direct attacks against Israeli civilians. “These are the people who initiated and organized the October 7 massacre, and they have not ceased murdering our citizens since,” the statement said, noting Hamas claimed responsibility for the killings in Monday’s attack in Jerusalem.
