The bodies of Nadav Popplewell, Yagev Buchstab, Yoram Metzger, Haim Perry, Alex Dancyg, and Avraham Munder were retrieved Monday night from Gaza in an IDF operation.
All six were kidnapped to Gaza by terrorists during the October 7 massacre, and were murdered in captivity.
Popplewell, Metzger, and Perry were announced murdered in June, and Dancyg and Buchstab were reported murdered last month.
In a joint announcement, the IDF and ISA said, "On Monday night, in a joint IDF and ISA operation, the bodies of the hostages Yagev Buchshtab, Alexander Dancyg, Avraham Munder, Yoram Metzger, Nadav Popplewell, and Haim Perry were rescued from the Khan Yunis area in the Gaza Strip."
"The rescue operation was conducted under the command of the 98th Division and carried out by the Par...
Hamas senior official Osama Hamdan on Monday criticized US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's statement that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepted an updated proposal for a ceasefire and hostage release deal.
Hamdan told Reuters that Blinken’s statement "raises many ambiguities" because it is "not what was presented to us nor what we agreed on."
He added that Hamas has already confirmed to mediators that "we don't need new Gaza ceasefire negotiations, we need to agree on an implementation mechanism."
Hamdan also told Reuters that the group’s new chief Yahya Sinwar, who was recently named Ismail Haniyeh’s replacement as head of Hamas’ political bureau, has always been part of the decision making process in th...
Baltimore, MD - Aug. 19, 2024 - Rabbi Yehuda Grossman, of San Antonio, Texas, attended STAR-K Kosher Certification’s annual Food Service Kashrus Training Seminar, held in the agency’s Baltimore offices July 29-31, to gain more knowledge and confidence in the world of Kashrus.
“It definitely taught me a lot of know-how, but more importantly it teaches what not to do,” shares Rabbi Grossman, a Rabbi Aryeh Scheinberg Community Kollel yungerman. “I especially enjoyed the Q & A session during which Rav Heinemann answered pertinent questions, as well as hearing from experts in the field -- straight from the source as opposed to all the hearsay and confusion about different very controversial Kashrus areas.”

To Be a Jew
I’m thrilled to announce the launch of our latest project: “To Be a Jew,” a deeply meaningful booklet that brings together selected passages from the profound teachings of Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, zt”l, and powerful stories I’ve reported since the onset of the war in Gaza. The original Hebrew edition, "Lerapeh et Halev" (To Heal the Heart), published just a few months ago, struck a chord with readers from all walks of life, sparking requests for an English version. Today, I am proud to share that, thanks to the generosity of the Rosen Family, this important work is now available for free download at sivanrahavmeir.com. For those interested in spreading this message further, print copies can be ordered in large quantities by contacting us at office@si...

The Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror groups took responsibility for a suicide bombing in Tel Aviv on Sunday evening, Israel Hayom reported.
The explosion killed the terrorist, later identified as a 50-year-old resident of Shechem (Nablus) and left an additional person injured.
The Hamas terror group said that the terror attempts will continue so long as the war in Gaza and the assassinations of terrorists continue. Meanwhile, terror attacks have taken place throughout the years since the Second Intifada, and were common even prior to the start of Israel-Hamas war, which broke out following the October 7th massacre.
Meanwhile, the ISA and Israel Police confirmed that the Sunday night explosion was a terror attack, and raised the alert level throughout central Israel.
