The IDF prepares for haredi recruits: Some 1,000 young haredi men have been summoned to report at recruitment centers in the coming days.

The posters also stated that for those who wish to claim that "the decree is...

Is it possible that by isolating exercise as something done in a formal manner, that we have forgotten the incredible value of working activity into our daily lives? First, let’s define exercise.
What is exercise?
Exercise includes three different facets; aerobics, resistance tr...

General Michael Kurilla, commander of United States Central Command (CENTCOM) who is in charge of American forces in the Middle East, arrived in the region on Saturday as preparations continue for a possible attack against Israel from Iran in retaliation for the eliminations of senior Hamas and Hezbollah leaders, two US officials told Axios.
Kurilla's trip to the region was planned before the recent escalation between Israel, Iran and Hezbollah but he is expected to use the trip to try to mobilize the same international and regional coalition that defended Israel against an attack from Iran on Apr. 13, a US official said.
Three US and Israeli officials said Iran could attack Israel as early as Monday.
According to a US official who spoke to Axios, Kurilla is expected to v...
