Halleluka! Our Sages noted that this rich word of praise was first used when David saw the downfall of the wicked (Brachos 9b). With the assassination of the wicked and murderous Hezbollah terror chief Nasrallah, we must say Halleluka, giving praise to God. We are grateful to God and to the beloved and dedicated soldiers of the IDF who continue to fight to eradicate the vicious evil surrounding Israel. We are grateful and we must express that gratitude, but we are in no mood of celebration. We cannot celebrate because the war is not over and the men and women of the IDF continue to put their lives on the line while their families anxiously await their safe return. We cannot celebrate while tens of thousands continue to be refugees in their own land and while many more live under the cons...

Today, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), Speaker Johnson, Whip Emmer, and Chairwoman Stefanik released the below statement after the longtime leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut.“Hassan Nasrallah’s reign of bloodshed, oppression, and terror has been brought to an end. A puppet of the Iranian regime, he was one of the most brutal terrorists on the planet, and a coward who hid behind women and children to carry out his attacks. Thanks to the brave men and women of the Israeli military, justice was delivered for Israeli victims of his heinous crimes, their families, and the United States. The world is better off without him.“We call on the Biden-Harris Administration to end its counter-productive calls for a ce...
IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari on Saturday spoke for the first time following the confirmation of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah's death.
In his statement, Hagari stressed that following a situational assessment, it was decided to change the instructions for the Israeli home front, restricting gatherings in central Israel to no more than 1,000 people.
In light of these restrictions, sports competitions scheduled to be held in central Israel will be held without an audience.
There are no further changes to the guidelines for central Israel.
When asked if the IDF would still carry out a ground operation, Hagari said, "We have challenging days ahead of us; we still have tasks to carry out. First of all, we must bring home the hostages held cruelly by Hamas in Gaza, ...
Dutch right-wing leader Geert Wilders on Saturday suggested to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, that he find “a good bunker” in which to hide.
Wilders was responding to a post on X by Khamenei, following the elimination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, in which the Iranian Supreme Leader wrote, “The Zionist criminals need to know that they are far too weak to be able to inflict any significant damage on the solid structure of Lebanon’s Hezbollah.”
Wilders replied, “Well, maybe you’d better look for a good bunker.”
Later, the Dutch politician also replied to Khamenei’s post announcing five days of public mourning for Nasrallah and wrote, “You mourn, we celebrate.”
Reuters reported on Sat...
Colonel Richard Kemp, the former commander of the British military forces in Afghanistan, spoke to Israel National News - Arutz Sheva about the assassination of longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Friday.
"Israel’s rapid attrition against Hezbollah in the last two weeks is unprecedented in any military campaign that I know of. Certainly, no other Western country has achieved anything even remotely close in any modern war," Col. Kemp said.
"The damage done to Hezbollah’s leadership by precision airstrikes as well as the pager attacks must be added to repeated strikes by the IDF since Hezbollah began its unprovoked war of aggression nearly a year ago. Key leaders have been progressively eliminated throughout that time as well as destruction of significant qu...
Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of former US President Donald Trump who advised him on the Middle East during his time in office, posted an unusual message on X praising Israel for the elimination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, calling the day of Nasrallah's death the "most important day" in the region since Israel signed normalization agreements with four Arab and Muslim states in 2020.
"September 27th is the most important day in the Middle East since the Abraham Accords breakthrough," Kushner wrote late Saturday night. "I have spent countless hours studying Hezbollah and there is not an expert on earth who thought that what Israel has done to decapitate and degrade them was possible."
"This is significant because Iran is now fully exposed. The reason why their nuclear facili...
Baltimore, MD - Sept. 28, 2024 - B"H, the school year at Yeshivas Toras Simcha has begun on an incredible note, with all Bochurim showing growth in both davening and learning.
We had the great Zechus of hearing from HaRav Moshe Heinemann, shlita, Rov of Agudas Yisroel of Baltimore, who addressed our older boys in grades 5-8. He eloquently explained to these budding Talmidei Chochomim that while building the 3rd Beis Hamikdash is vital, the importance of learning Torah surpasses it, as they will continue learning even during the construction of the Beis Hamikdash.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to the United Nations General Assembly on Friday “was part of a diversion” to lull Hezbollah secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah into a false sense of security, a senior Israeli official told the Telegraph.
The Israeli prime minister’s address, and visit to New York, was “intended to make Hezbollah’s leader believe that Israel would not take dramatic actions while Netanyahu was physically in the United States,” the Telegraph reported, citing the unnamed Israeli official.
Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.) shared a post suggesting the talk was a “diversion.”
“The United Nations is finally good for something,” the congressman wrote.
The Hamas terror group responded to the elimination of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut, claiming that it will only increase the struggle against Israel.
In their statement, Hamas claimed that Nasrallah "fell martyr on his way to Allah."
"We express our honest condolences, comfort, and solidarity with the Lebanese nation, our brothers, and our brothers in Hezbollah and in the Islamic resistance in Lebanon," the Hamas statement read.
Hamas also said that Nasrallah's death is "barbaric Zionist aggression," and a "despicable crime and act of murder" which shows the "cruel" nature of Israel, and that Israel's policies threaten peace and security in the world.
The terror group also blamed the US government for Nasrallah's death, due to US support for the "occup...
Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert revealed on Saturday night that Israel was behind the elimination of Imad Mughniyeh, the former head of the military wing of Hezbollah, in February 2008 in Damascus.
Speaking in an interview with Channel 13 News, Olmert revealed the details of the elimination. "There was a situation, we didn't talk about it in the past, but it seems to me that today we can already admit this fact. 16 years ago we eliminated the greatest, the most despicable, the most despicable mass murderer they ever had, who built the entire army of Hezbollah, Imad Mughniyeh."
He added that the elimination was carried out "in the country where he lives, not in Lebanon, in another country, and there were all kinds of other dramatic aspects that I can't talk about and...
Baltimore, MD - Sept. 28, 2024 - A man with a history of impersonating police is facing criminal charges after he stole an encrypted radio from one of the Baltimore Police Department's district substations and used it to interfere with officer activity over the weekend.
Charging documents show that Reche Simpson, 26, gained access to the department's Northwestern District substation on Sept. 21. That's when investigators believe that he was able to swipe a Motorola APX6000 from a charging dock located in a secure part of the station.
Security camera footage recorded Simpson entering through a side gate at the substation in a Toyota Camry. He initially tried to "gain access to the building by displaying a badge on his shirt," according to court records. Additionally, he tol...
US President Joe Biden called for a ceasefire in Lebanon on Saturday, when asked by reporters if an Israeli ground incursion into Lebanon was inevitable.
"It's time for a ceasefire," Biden told reporters in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, as quoted by Reuters.
Asked if the United States would respond to missile attacks on US warships in the Red Sea, Biden replied, "We're responding."
Earlier on Saturday, Biden issued a statement following the elimination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Lebanon.
"Hassan Nasrallah and the terrorist group he led, Hezbollah, were responsible for killing hundreds of Americans over a four-decade reign of terror," Biden said. "His death from an Israeli airstrike is a measure of justice for his many victims, including thousands of Am...
Massive rains from powerful Hurricane Helene left people stranded, without shelter and awaiting rescue Saturday, as the cleanup began from a tempest that killed at least 56 people, caused widespread destruction across the U.S. Southeast and left millions without power.
“I’ve never seen so many people homeless as what I have right now,” said Janalea England, of Steinhatchee, Florida, a small river town along the state’s rural Big Bend, as she turned her commercial fish market into a storm donation site for friends and neighbors, many of whom couldn’t get insurance on their homes.
Helene blew ashore in Florida’s Big Bend region as a Category 4 hurricane late Thursday with winds of 140 mph (225 kph).
From there, it quickly moved throu...
The Israeli strike that killed Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah was a “measure of justice” for victims of a four-decade “reign of terror,” President Joe Biden said Saturday.
The comments came after Lebanon’s Hezbollah group confirmed earlier Saturday that Nasrallah, one of the group’s founders, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut the previous day.
Biden noted that the operation to take out Nasrallah took place in the broader context of the conflict that began with Hamas’ massacre of Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023.
“Nasrallah, the next day, made the fateful decision to join hands with Hamas and open what he called a ‘northern front’ against Israel,” Biden said in a statement.
He also...
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this evening (Saturday, 28 September 2024), at the Kirya in Tel Aviv [translated from Hebrew]:"If someone rises up to kill you, kill him first.'Yesterday, the State of Israel eliminated the arch-murderer Hassan Nasrallah.We have settled accounts with someone who was responsible for the murders of countless Israelis and many nationals of other countries, including hundreds of Americans and dozens of French.Nasrallah was not just another terrorist, he was the terrorist.He was the axis of the axis, the main engine of Iran's axis of evil.He and his people were the architects of the plan to destroy Israel. He was not only operated by Iran, he also frequently operated Iran.Therefore, at the beginning of the week, I came to the conclusion that the powe...
