Jerusalem, Israel - Sept. 26, 2024 - Director General of the Israel Ministry of Defense, Major General (Res.) Eyal Zamir, has concluded negotiations in Washington for a substantial $8.7 billion U.S. aid package to support Israel's ongoing military efforts. The package comprises $3.5 billion for essential wartime procurement, which has already been transferred to the IMoD, and $5.2 billion designated for air defense systems, including the Iron Dome, David's Sling, and an advanced laser system.
Maj. Gen. Zamir, dispatched by Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, engaged in a series of high-level meetings with U.S. government officials. At the Pentagon, he met with Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, Amanda Dory, and Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainme...
Part of the nature of man is to find the easy way out. We innately seek pleasure and want to do things in the easiest way possible. As psychologist Dr. Doug Lisle points out, we all want to be able to accomplish our tasks with the least possible effort. That’s fine when we can reach our goals and conserve both physical and mental energy. But often times, the “easy way” is dangled in front of us and we run to grab it, because we can only see the immediate result. We rarely stop to think about long-term ramifications. When it comes to our health, there are things dangled in our faces every single day. But when I pursue something that brings a quick fix, am I truly fixing the problem in the long-term, or am I just getting some short-term b...

China’s newest nuclear-powered attack submarine sank in the spring, a major setback for one of the country’s priority weapons programs, U.S. officials said.
The episode, which Chinese authorities scrambled to cover up and hasn’t previously been disclosed, occurred at a shipyard near Wuhan in late May or early June.
It comes as China has been pushing to expand its navy, including its fleet of nuclear-powered submarines.
The Pentagon has cast China as its principal long-term “pacing challenge,” and U.S. officials say that Beijing has been using political and military pressure to try to coerce Taiwan, a separately governed island that Beijing claims as part of its territory.
China says its goal in building a world-class military is to deter ...
The IDF confirmed on Thursday evening that in an airstrike on the Dahieh suburb of Beirut, IAF fighter jets eliminated Muhammad Hussein Srour, the commander of Hezbollah's aerial unit.
"The terrorist advanced, directed, and commanded over many aerial terror frameworks including drone, cruise missile, and UAV attacks on the Israeli home front. In the past years, he was one of the leaders of projects to manufacture UAVs in Lebanon and founded explosive UAV and reconnaissance sites in Lebanon, some of which were located under civilian buildings in Beirut and other areas," the IDF stated.
Srour joined the organization in the 80s and held a variety of positions, including as a commander in the Aziz surface-to-air missile unit and the Radwan Force, and a Hezbollah representative to Yemen ...

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday, September 13th, ordered that the safe return of northern Israel's residents to their homes be added to the war's objectives. During the next week, dozens of Hezbollah operatives were killed and thousands were maimed when their communication devices exploded. Israel did not claim responsibility for the explosions, but foreign media reported that the Mossad was behind them.
The following Friday, IAF jets guided by the Intelligence Directorate, targeted and eliminated Ibrahim Aqil, head of operations and commander of the Radwan Force of the Hezbollah terrorist organization, during a meeting with Radwan Force commanders in the Dahieh neighborhood of Beirut. In addition to Aqil, 15 other Hezbollah terrorists were eliminated in the strike, ...
For this commandment which I command you today, is not concealed from you, nor is it far away.
It is not in heaven, that you should say, "Who will go up to heaven for us and fetch it for us, to tell [it] to us, so that we can fulfill it?"
Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, "Who will cross to the other side of the sea for us and fetch it for us, to tell [it] to us, so that we can fulfill it?"
Rather, [this] thing is very close to you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can fulfill it. (Devarim 30 14-15)
The subject of this verse is a matter of debate. Some suggest it is referring to the injunction to learn Torah, while others posit it is the instruction to do Teshuva — repentance.
Either way, the Torah is revealing to us that it is readily accessible...
Baltimore, MD - Sept. 26, 2024 - Baltimore identified as the third highest-performing jurisdiction in the U.S. utilizing federal funds from the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to promote racial and economic equity, according to a new study.
The Institute of Race, Power and Political Economy at The New School examined 170 local governments and how they are leveraging federal recovery funds to advance and support equity in their communities.
The Institute’s ARPA Equity Assessments measure performance across six dimensions of equitable public investment: 1) overall equity focus; 2) application of equity tools and institutional infrastructure; 3) community engagement; 4) use of equitable labor practices; 5) breadth and depth of equity investments; and 6) investment transparency/ac...
Nearly a dozen suited-up federal agents arrived at Eric Adams’ mayoral home, Gracie Mansion, first thing Thursday to search his official residence — just hours after Hizzoner became the first Big Apple mayor to be indicted in a federal probe.
The men and women, who were all clad in business attire, filed into the mansion shortly before 6 a.m. hauling briefcases and large bags.
At least two SUVs spotted at the mansion had “Federal Law Enforcement” parking placards displayed on their dashboards.
Another black SUV that was spotted pulling into the property under the cover of darkness appeared to be a prisoner transportation vehicle, with a steel partition separating the front and back seats clearly visible, photos taken by The Post show.
Adams’ high...
