Lebanese media report that an Israeli drone strike near Naqoura in southern Lebanon has killed one person, with Saudi al-Hadath citing reports that the individual may be Abd a-Sayed, a Hezbollah terrorist.
Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is once again at the center of controversy — and this time, critics say, his efforts to portray himself as a misunderstood progressive are collapsing under the weight of his own record. During Wednesday night’s debate against former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa, Mamdani indignantly denied accusations that he has ever supported “global jihad.” But a review of his public statements, musical career, and long association with radical figures tells a far more complicated story — one that is increasingly unsettling Democrats and alarming Jewish and moderate voters across the city. “I have never, not once, spoken in support of global jihad,” Mamdani declared on stage, framing the criticism as a racist attack on his faith. “This is being ascribed to me because I am Muslim.” But his record suggests otherwise. Mamdani has praised controversial Islamist figures, echoed their rhetoric, and repeatedly refused to condemn violent anti-Israel slogans, even as he insists that his critics are motivated by Islamophobia. Among those Mamdani has embraced is Imam Siraj Wahhaj, one of the most controversial clerics in the United States, who once served as a character witness for the “Blind Sheikh” Omar Abdel-Rahman — the man convicted of orchestrating the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Wahhaj has repeatedly described America as a “garbage can” and once called for raising an “army of 10,000 men” to “declare jihad.” Far from distancing himself, Mamdani spoke at Wahhaj’s Brooklyn mosque last week, calling him “one of the nation’s foremost Muslim leaders.” Wahhaj, in turn, told his congregation, “Allah has blessed us. We have a very, very good candidate — his name is Zohran Mamdani.” For Mamdani, who has also cultivated ties with activist Linda Sarsour, the self-proclaimed “unapologetic pro-BDS, one-state solution supporting, resistance supporter,” such alliances appear to be a feature, not a flaw. Both figures have long drawn accusations of antisemitism for their support of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement and incendiary comments about Israel. Since Hamas’s October 7, 2023, terrorist massacre in southern Israel, Mamdani has accused Israel of “genocide” dozens of times on social media — but has repeatedly avoided condemning Hamas. The day after the attack, his statement made no mention of the terror group that murdered and kidnapped civilians, instead blaming “Netanyahu’s declaration of war.” Even his attempts at clarification have been evasive. Asked on Fox News earlier this month whether Hamas should disarm, Mamdani dodged: “I don’t really have opinions about the future of Hamas and Israel beyond the question of justice and safety.” He later backtracked at a mayoral debate, claiming, “Of course I believe that they should lay down their arms.” Before entering politics, Mamdani dabbled in rap — releasing a 2017 song that sent “love” to the Holy Land Five, Hamas financiers convicted in 2008 for funneling millions of dollars to the terrorist organization. He’s also repeatedly tweeted support for the “Globalize the Intifada” slogan — a rallying cry for violence against Jews — and has defended it as a mere call for “struggle.” The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum condemned that defense as “outrageous and especially offensive to survivors,” calling on all leaders to “condemn its use and the abuse of history.” Republicans have seized on the controversy — but concern is also growing among Democrats. “Zohran Mamdani […]
Israeli military prosecutors have filed an indictment against a Palestinian man accused of orchestrating a failed bombing attack targeting public buses in central Israel earlier this year, a case that officials say could have caused mass casualties had the plan succeeded. The suspect, Abed al-Karim Snober, was detained in July following months on the run and now faces multiple charges related to the February 20 explosions that rocked parking lots in the Tel Aviv suburbs of Bat Yam and Holon. According to the indictment, Snober was part of a cell that sought to “harm a large number of civilians” by placing shrapnel-packed explosive devices in crowded urban areas. Investigators say Snober manufactured several improvised bombs filled with nails and screws before entering Israel to plant them on public buses. On the evening of February 20, three empty buses exploded in quick succession, while two additional devices were discovered and defused before detonating. The blasts, which occurred after the buses had completed their routes, caused no injuries but set off panic in the surrounding communities and triggered a large-scale security response. Military officials said Snober fled back to the West Bank immediately after the failed attack, hiding in multiple locations until his capture five months later. During his time in hiding, prosecutors allege, Snober began planning a second attack — a suicide bombing in Tel Aviv — and was in the process of assembling new explosive devices when he was arrested. The indictment, filed in a military court, also names several alleged accomplices, including an Israeli resident of Holon accused of transporting Snober to one of the bombing sites in Bat Yam. Prosecutors said additional indictments are expected as the investigation continues. The IDF said Snober will remain in custody until the conclusion of legal proceedings. “This case underscores the continued efforts by terror elements to strike inside Israel’s civilian centers,” the IDF said in a statement. Although the February incident caused no casualties, Israeli officials described it as one of the most serious attempted attacks in recent years, given the scale of planning and potential for mass fatalities. The case comes amid heightened security concerns following a series of attempted infiltrations and foiled bomb plots in central Israel this year. The indictment also reflects a shift in terrorist tactics, officials say — from lone-wolf stabbings and shootings to coordinated bomb plots reminiscent of the attacks that defined earlier decades of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Military prosecutors have indicted Abed al-Karim Snober, a Palestinian terrorist accused of orchestrating a failed bus bombing attack in central Israel on February 20. That day, three empty buses exploded in Bat Yam and Holon, while two more bombs were found and defused, causing no casualties. According to the indictment, Snober and accomplices aimed to kill civilians using shrapnel-filled explosives placed on crowded buses. After the attack failed, Snober fled to the West Bank, where he later planned a suicide bombing in Tel Aviv before being captured in July. He will remain in custody until the end of legal proceedings, and indictments have also been filed against additional suspects.

A Qatari news outlet has released images that it says shows members of Hamas’s so-called “Shadow Unit” — the secretive wing tasked with guarding hostages — alongside a Red Cross vehicle in southern Gaza, raising new questions about the terror group’s coordination with humanitarian agencies amid the fragile post-war environment. The video, published Sunday by the Qatari network Al-Araby, depicts Hamas fighters standing near a Red Cross-marked vehicle in the al-Mawasi area west of Rafah — territory that remains outside Israeli military control. According to the report, the group and Red Cross personnel were jointly searching for the body of an Israeli hostage believed to have been buried in the area. The “Shadow Unit,” a small and secretive contingent within Hamas’s armed wing, gained notoriety during the war for overseeing the captivity and movement of Israeli hostages taken during the October 7 attacks. Neither the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) nor Israeli officials immediately commented on the footage. The Red Cross has previously said it operates in Gaza solely to deliver humanitarian aid and facilitate the transfer of released hostages under agreements brokered by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States. On Friday, there were indications that Hamas was also preparing to return remains; however, the terror group did not. Hamas could return eight more hostages to Israel; however, there are another five whose whereabouts are unknown, a senior Israeli official told Ynet. There have not been any remains of hostages returned since Tuesday night. (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
Hurricane Melissa strengthened into a major Category 4 hurricane, with the possibility of intensifying to a Category 5 storm Sunday night, unleashing torrential rain and threatening to cause catastrophic flooding in the northern Caribbean, including Haiti and Jamaica, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. The weather agency added Melissa is likely to reach the southern coast of Jamaica as a major hurricane late Monday or Tuesday morning, and urged people on the island to seek shelter immediately. “I urge Jamaicans to take this weather threat seriously,” said Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness. “Take all measures to protect yourself.” Melissa was centered about 120 miles (195 kilometers) south-southeast of Kingston, Jamaica, and about 280 miles (450 kilometers) south-southwest of Guantanamo, Cuba, Sunday morning. It had maximum sustained winds of 140 mph (225 kph) and was moving west at 5 mph (8 kph), the hurricane center said. Melissa was expected to drop torrential rains of up to 30 inches (760 millimeters) on Jamaica and southern Hispaniola — Haiti and the Dominican Republic — according to the hurricane center. Some areas may see as much as 40 inches (1,010 millimeters) of rain. It also warned that extensive damage to infrastructure, power and communication outages, and the isolation of communities in Jamaica were to be expected. Melissa should be near or over Cuba by late Tuesday, where it could bring up to 12 inches (300 millimeters) of rain, before moving toward the Bahamas later Wednesday. The Cuban government on Saturday afternoon issued a hurricane watch for the provinces of Granma, Santiago de Cuba, Guantanamo and Holguin. Storm’s slow progress The erratic and slow-moving storm has killed at least three people in Haiti and a fourth person in the Dominican Republic, where another person remains missing. “Unfortunately for places along the projected path of this storm, it is increasingly dire,” Jamie Rhome, the center’s deputy director, said earlier on Saturday. He said the storm will continue to move slowly for up to four days. Authorities in Jamaica said on Saturday that the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston will be closed at 8 p.m. local time. It did not say whether it will close the Sangster airport in Montego Bay, on the western side of the island. More than 650 shelters were activated in Jamaica. Officials said warehouses across the island were well-stocked and thousands of food packages prepositioned for quick distribution if needed. River levels rise Haitian authorities said three people had died as a consequence of the hurricane and another five were injured due to a collapsed wall. There were also reports of rising river levels, flooding and a bridge destroyed due to breached riverbanks in Sainte-Suzanne, in the northeast. “The storm is causing a lot of concern with the way it’s moving,” said Ronald Délice, a Haitian department director of civil protection, as local authorities organized lines to distribute food kits. Many residents are still reluctant to leave their homes. The storm has damaged nearly 200 homes in the Dominican Republic and knocked out water supply systems, affecting more than half a million customers. It also downed trees and traffic lights, unleashed a couple of small landslides and left more than two dozen communities isolated by floodwaters. The Bahamas Department of Meteorology said Melissa could bring tropical storm or hurricane conditions to islands in […]
Suspects have been arrested in connection with the theft of crown jewel s from Paris’ Louvre museum, the Paris prosecutor said on Sunday, a week after the heist at the world’s most visited museum that stunned the word. The prosecutor said that investigators made the arrests on Saturday evening, adding that one of the men taken into custody was preparing to leave the country from Roissy Airport. French media BFM TV and Le Parisien newspaper earlier reported that two suspects had been arrested and taken into custody. Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau did not confirm the number of arrests and did not say whether jewels had been recovered. Thieves took less than eight minutes to steal jewels valued at 88 million euros ($102 million) last Sunday morning. French officials described how the intruders used a basket lift to scale the Louvre’s façade, forced open a window, smashed display cases and fled. The museum’s director called the incident a “terrible failure.” Beccuau said investigators from a special police unit in charge of armed robberies, serious burglaries and art thefts made the arrests. She rued in her statement the premature leak of information, saying it could hinder the work of over 100 investigators “mobilized to recover the stolen jewels and apprehend all of the perpetrators.” Beccuau said further details will be unveiled after the suspects’ custody period ends. French Interior minister Laurent Nunez praised “the investigators who have worked tirelessly, just as I asked them to, and who have always had my full confidence.” The Louvre reopened earlier this week after one of the highest-profile museum thefts of the century stunned the world with its audacity and scale. The thieves slipped in and out, making off with parts of France’s Crown Jewels — a cultural wound that some compared to the burning of Notre Dame Cathedral in 2019. The thieves made away with a total of eight objects, including a sapphire diadem, necklace and single earring from a set linked to 19th-century queens Marie-Amélie and Hortense. They also took an emerald necklace and earrings tied to Empress Marie-Louise, Napoleon Bonaparte’s second wife, as well as a reliquary brooch. Empress Eugénie’s diamond diadem and her large corsage-bow brooch — an imperial ensemble of rare craftsmanship — were also part of the loot. One piece — Eugénie’s emerald-set imperial crown with more than 1,300 diamonds — was later found outside the museum, damaged but recoverable. (AP)
Gunfire erupted during outdoor festivities at Pennsylvania’s Lincoln University late Saturday, killing one person and wounding six others as students and alumni celebrated homecoming at the historically Black school, authorities said. A person who had a firearm was detained, and officials are investigating the possibility that there was more than one shooter but don’t believe there is any active threat to the campus, Chester County District Attorney Christopher de Barrena-Sarobe said during a brief news conference early Sunday. “We don’t have a lot of answers about exactly what happened,” he said. “What I will tell you is that today we’re operating as if this is not an incident where someone came in with the design to inflict mass damage on a college campus.” Authorities say the shooting took place at around 9:30 p.m. outside a large building called the International Cultural Center, where tents and tables were set up for tailgating and socializing after a football game earlier in the day. “It was a chaotic scene, and people fled in every direction,” the district attorney said. He urged anyone with video from the scene or other information that could help the investigation to contact the FBI. Authorities weren’t sharing details about the victims, including their conditions or where the injured were being treated. The campus is about 45 miles (70 kilometers) southwest of Philadelphia. Chester County detectives are leading the investigation, with support from state police and the FBI. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said on X that he was briefed on the shooting and offered the support of his administration and family. “Join Lori and me in praying for the Lincoln University community,” he said. Lincoln University Police Chief Marc Partee said the shooting devastated the school’s community on what was supposed to be a joyous day focused on the school’s legacy. “If there was another word to describe that, that’s more impactful, I would use it,” he said, “but ‘devastated’ is a start.” (AP)
A new Channel 12 poll suggests that a growing majority of Israelis want Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to step aside before the next election — a sign of voter fatigue of his dominance in Israeli politics. According to the survey, 52 percent of respondents said Netanyahu should not run again, compared to 41 percent who believe he should remain in the race. Another 7 percent were undecided.
U.S. forecasters issued a hurricane warning for Jamaica Saturday as Storm Melissa reached hurricane strength, threatening catastrophic flooding in the northern Caribbean. A hurricane warning means winds of at least 74 mph (119 kph) are expected in the area within 36 hours. Melissa is ”likely starting to rapidly intensify and expected to become a major hurricane tomorrow,” the U.S. National Hurricane Center said Saturday afternoon as Melissa had maximum sustained winds of 90 mph (150 kph). The slow-moving storm was expected to drop torrential rain, up to 25 inches (64 centimeters), on Jamaica, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center. A similar forecast was issued for the southern regions of Haiti and the Dominican Republic through Monday. Life-threatening flooding and landslides were possible, with up to 35 inches (89 centimeters) of catastrophic rain across the Tiburon peninsula in southwestern Haiti, the center said. The Cuban government on Saturday afternoon issued a hurricane watch for the provinces of Granma, Santiago de Cuba, Guantanamo and Holguin. Storm’s slow progress The erratic and slow-moving storm has killed at least three people in Haiti and a fourth person in the Dominican Republic, where another person remains missing. “Unfortunately for places along the projected path of this storm, it is increasingly dire,” Jamie Rhome, the center’s deputy director, said earlier on Saturday. He said the storm will continue to move slowly for up to four days. Melissa was located about 130 miles (210 kilometers) southeast of Kingston, Jamaica, and about 250 miles (405 kilometers) west-southwest of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. It was slowly moving westward at 3 mph (6 kph), according to the hurricane center. A hurricane warning was in effect for Jamaica and a hurricane watch remained in place for the southwestern peninsula of Haiti. The center of Melissa is expected to move near or over Jamaica early next week, forecasters said. Melissa was expected to become a major hurricane by Sunday and possibly reach Category 4 status by early Monday, U.S. forecasters said. It is forecast to hit eastern Cuba early Wednesday, where up to 12 inches (30 centimeters) could fall in some areas. Authorities in Jamaica said on Saturday that the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston will be closed at 8 p.m. local time. It did not say whether it will close the Sangster airport in Montego Bay, on the western side of the island. More than 650 shelters were activated in Jamaica. Officials said warehouses across the island were well-stocked and thousands of food packages prepositioned for quick distribution if needed. “I urge Jamaicans to take this weather threat seriously,” said Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness. “Take all measures to protect yourself.” The hurricane center confirmed the risks in a key message Saturday afternoon. “Jamaica prep should be completed today. Melissa’s slow motion brings multi-day damaging winds plus heavy rainfall, catastrophic flash flooding, landslides, damage, long-duration power communication outages, isolation,” the center said. River levels rise Haitian authorities said three people had died as a consequence of the hurricane and another five were injured due to a collapsed wall. There were also reports of rising river levels, flooding and a bridge destroyed due to breached riverbanks in Sainte-Suzanne, in the northeast. “The storm is causing a lot of concern with the way it’s moving,” said Ronald Délice, a Haitian department director of […]
With less than three months left in office, Mayor Eric Adams is preparing to overhaul New York City’s Rent Guidelines Board (RGB) — a last-minute power play that could complicate socialist front-runner Zohran Mamdani’s top campaign promise to freeze rents for the city’s roughly one million rent-stabilized units. According to multiple sources, Adams plans to appoint at least six new members to the nine-person board, a sweeping move that would shift control of one of City Hall’s most influential bodies just as Mamdani appears poised to win the November mayoral election. Among the possible appointees: Adams’ longtime ally and real estate reality TV personality Eleonora Srugo. “It’s not just about freezing the rent,” one source close to the discussions told The New York Post. “It’s about making sure landlords can afford to own and maintain these buildings. You need these buildings standing up.” The maneuver, while legal, would effectively lock in Adams’s influence over rent policy for the first two years of his successor’s term, since most RGB members serve staggered two- to four-year terms. Six of the current members are serving on expired appointments — holdovers from the de Blasio era — and a seventh is set to leave at year’s end, giving Adams near-total power to reset the board before departing. The mayor’s eleventh-hour reshuffle appears aimed squarely at undermining Mamdani’s pledge to impose a citywide rent freeze — a plan that has electrified his progressive base but alarmed real estate interests and moderate Democrats alike. Mamdani, a 34-year-old Democratic Socialist assemblyman from Queens, has made the policy central to his campaign, arguing that landlords’ profits have soared even as tenants struggle with rising costs. Industry leaders, however, warn that a rent freeze could cripple the city’s housing stock, driving buildings into disrepair and deterring new construction. “Freezing rent may sound catchy, but it’s bad policy — short-sighted and harmful to tenants,” Adams said in June, after the RGB voted 5-4 to raise rent-stabilized leases by 3 percent for one-year terms and 4.5 percent for two-year terms. Adams publicly urged restraint during that vote — calling for a smaller 1.75 percent hike — but ultimately defended the increases as necessary to “keep buildings solvent.” The plan was foreshadowed during this week’s final mayoral debate, when Andrew Cuomo, running as an independent, jabbed Mamdani for promising a rent freeze he couldn’t deliver. “You don’t control the Rent Guidelines Board,” Cuomo quipped, alluding to Adams’s appointment powers. Mamdani fired back that he would “stack the board” with his own allies, much as former Mayor Bill de Blasio did to secure multiple rent freezes during his tenure. But if Adams fills the six vacant seats before leaving City Hall, Mamdani would be handcuffed from reshaping the board until midway through his first term. Of the eight non-chair members, two serve four-year terms, and the remaining six are split between two- and three-year appointments. The chair serves at the mayor’s discretion.

Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine overnight into Saturday killed at least four people and wounded 20, officials said, and prompted fresh pleas from Ukraine’s president for Western air defense systems. In the capital, Kyiv, two people were killed and 13 were wounded in a ballistic missile attack in the early hours of Saturday, Kyiv’s police said. A fire broke out in a non-residential building in one location, while debris from intercepted missiles fell in an open area at another site, damaging windows in nearby buildings, Ukraine’s State Emergency Service wrote on the message app Telegram. “Explosions in the capital. The city is under ballistic attack,” Mayor Vitali Klitschko wrote on Telegram during the onslaught. Two killed in Dnipropetrovsk region In the Dnipropetrovsk region, two people were killed and seven wounded, acting regional Gov. Vladyslav Haivanenko said, adding that apartment buildings and private homes were damaged in the strikes. Ukraine’s air force said Russia launched nine missiles and 62 drones, of which four missiles and 50 drones were intercepted. In Russia, the Defense Ministry said its air defenses shot down 121 Ukrainian drones over Russia overnight. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday that such attacks intensify Ukraine’s need for Patriot defense systems. “It is precisely because of such attacks that we pay special attention to Patriot systems — to be able to protect our cities from this horror. It is critical that partners who possess relevant capability implement what we have discussed in recent days,” he wrote in English on X. “America, Europe and the G7 countries can help ensure that such attacks no longer threaten lives,” he said. Ukrainians adapt As plumes of smoke from the attack in Kyiv rose in the background, Ukrainians went about their day shopping in a popular nearby farmer’s market unhindered, having become accustomed to frequent Russian air assaults. “We didn’t know the attack was right here, but even when we figured it out we still came. Despite the Russians’ strike, there are still a lot of people here who need to eat. I knew that people would come to shop, ” said Halyna Stetsiura, 54. The fruit and vegetable vendor arrived very early in the morning to prepare her stall, while the attacks were still underway. Serhi Lihus, 53, a beekeeper, said he was driving to the market when he heard the explosions. “It was still dark, approximately 6:30, everything was on fire,” he said. Still he showed up to the market to sell his honey. Svitlana Shyshlovska, 40, a customer, said despite the threat of attacks, “you still need to buy food to have something to eat and such markets are not an everyday occasion.” Push for air defenses Zelenskyy is hoping Ukraine can purchase 25 Patriots from the U.S. to fortify its air defenses, particularly in cities. Zelenskyy on Friday urged the United States to expand its sanctions on Russian oil from two companies to the whole sector, and appealed for long-range missiles to hit back at Russia. Zelenskyy was in London for talks with two dozen European leaders who have pledged military help to shield his country from future Russian aggression if a ceasefire stops the more than three-year war. The meeting hosted by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer aimed to step up pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin, […]
President Donald Trump announced he’s ending “all trade negotiations” with Canada because of a television ad sponsored by one of its provinces that used the words of former President Ronald Reagan to criticize U.S. tariffs — prompting the province’s leader to later pull the ad. The post on Trump’s social media site Thursday night ratcheted up tensions with the U.S.’s northern neighbor after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he plans to double his country’s exports to countries outside the U.S. because of the threat posed by Trump’s tariffs. White House officials said Trump’s reaction was a culmination of the administration’s long, pent-up frustration about Canada’s strategy in trade talks. Later Friday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford, whose province had sponsored the ad, said it would be taken down, though it will still run this weekend. Ford said after talking with Prime Minister Mark Carney he’s decided to pause the advertising campaign effective Monday so that trade talks can resume. Ford said they’ve achieved their goal, having reached U.S. audiences at the highest levels. “Our intention was always to initiate a conversation about the kind of economy that Americans want to build and the impact of tariffs on workers and businesses,” Ford said. “We’ve achieved our goal, having reached U.S. audiences at the highest levels.” The U.S. president alleged the ad misrepresented the position of Reagan, a two-term president who remains a beloved figure in the Republican Party, and was aimed at influencing the U.S. Supreme Court ahead of a hearing scheduled for next month that could decide whether Trump has the power to impose his sweeping tariffs, a key part of his economic strategy. Trump is so invested in the case that he has said he’d like to attend oral arguments. “You know, it’s a crooked ad,” Trump said Friday night as he left the White House for a trip to Asia, shortly after the ad aired during the seventh inning of Fox’s national broadcast of Game 1 of the World Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers. “They could have pulled it tonight,” Trump said. “Well, that’s dirty play — but I can play dirtier than they can, you know.” Canadian premier digs in after Trump ends talks The ad was paid for by Ontario’s government, not the Canadian federal government. Ford, the premier, didn’t initially back down, posting Friday that Canada and the U.S. are allies “and Reagan knew that both are stronger together.” Ford then provided a link to a Reagan speech where the late president voices opposition to tariffs. Ford had said the province plans to pay $54 million (about $75 million Canadian) for the ads to air across multiple American television stations using audio and video of Reagan speaking about tariffs in 1987. Ford is a populist conservative who doesn’t belong to the same party as Carney, a Liberal. For his part, Carney said his government remains ready to continue talks to reduce tariffs in certain sectors. “We can’t control the trade policy of the United States. We recognize that that policy has fundamentally changed from the 1980s,” he said Friday morning before boarding a flight for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit in Malaysia. Trump is also traveling to the summit. But he told reporters on Air Force One that […]
