(photo credit: AFP VIA GETTY IMAGES) The IDF has encountered several individual Hezbollah operatives in the area over the past several months, which the Alma center said supports the possibility of a continued Hezbollah presence. Hezbollah has continued to invest in its recovery and adapt its strategy for what it anticipates could be a prolonged, low-intensity war with Israel , according to the latest assessment by the Alma Research and Education Center, published on Sunday. Based on incidents recorded over the past several months, the center assessed that Hezbollah could increasingly turn toward guerrilla warfare, including small-scale infiltrations into the security zone and potentially Israeli territory, as well as drone and explosive attacks. The group’s ability to carry out its previous plans to seize the Galilee has been significantly diminished by the destruction of its infrastructure and the con...

(photo credit: Jim WATSON / AFP via Getty Images) US President Donald Trump claimed that “Iran is officially a Failed Nation” in a Monday post on Truth Social, the day after the US struck Iranian military assets for the first time in weeks. “They have no Navy, they have no Air Force, they have no currency, they are not paying their soldiers or police, Inflation is at 300%, and their leadership is in total disarray and incapable of properly representing the country,” Trump added. He continued to claim that the only thing Tehran still has is “fake news from the USA,” a willingness to kill anti-regime protestors, and “a good line of b******t.” In reference to the killing of anti-regime protestors, Trump claimed that over 100,000 have been killed and asserted that the regime in Tehran must be tr...

Police said late Saturday that he was being held “on suspicion of performing an indecent act against a minor.”  Video from the incident shows Joughin gripping a fence while pressing his body against a child, apparently to prevent the child from passing through. Joughin had been volunteering in the village in what was described as an effort to protect Palestinians from settler attacks.

(photo credit: KHALIL ASHAWI / REUTERS) The United States announced on Aug. 24 that it was rescinding Syria’s designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism , ending a status that had been in place since 1979 and removing an additional layer of legal restrictions that had shaped the country’s relationship with the international financial and commercial system for decades.   This move opened a new chapter for the Syrian economy, but it does not mean money and investment will flow into the country overnight.  The decision is part of a broader US effort to ease restrictions on Syria following the fall of the former government. The United States also delisted Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, the group led by President Ahmed al-Sharaa before he took office, as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist organization in the same announcement. Washington e...

The Hostages and Missing Families Forum announced the deaths of "The Beautiful Six" shortly following their...
