A Pakistani citizen residing in Canada, Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, 20, also known as Shahzeb Jadoon, was arrested on Sept. 4 in Canada in connection with a complaint filed in the Southern District of New York, the US Department of Justice reported Friday.
Khan was charged with attempting to provide material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization (FTO), the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS).

“Thanks to the investigative work of the FBI, and the quick action of our Canadian law enforcement partne...

US officials have announced that they have "indefinitely postpone" the presentation of the final "take it or leave it" ceasefire-prisoner swap deal, the Washington Post reported.
According to the Post, the latest obstacle is Hamas' "abrupt introduction" of its demand that Israel release high-profile terrorists even in exchange for humanitarian prisoners.
The report quoted a senior administration official who said that earlier this week, as negotiators from the US, Qatar, and Egypt, worked through final details of the "bridging proposal," Hamas said that civilian hostages would only be released in exchange for terrorists serving life sentences and who have blood on their hands.
Previously, the agreement had been that only IDF soldiers would be released in exchange for...

American-Turkish human rights activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, succumbed to her wounds on Friday after being shot in the head by Israeli forces during a weekly protest against settlement expansions in the West Bank, according to Palestinian Authority-run news outlet Wafa.
During the weekly protest in Beita, south of Nablus in the West Bank, IDF soldiers opened fire at the protesters using live ammunition, the report noted. Eygi was subsequently critically wounded in the head. The 26 years old activist was evacuated to Rafida Hospital in Nablus, where she later died.
Fouad Nafaa, the head of the Rafidia Hospital, told Reuters that a woman arrived at the hospital in a very critical condition with a serious head injury.

U.S. job growth picked up in August but missed economists' expectations, while the unemployment rate was little changed.
The Labor Department on Friday reported that employers added 142,000 jobs in August, compared to the 160,000 gain that was projected by LSEG economists.
The unemployment rate also dipped slightly to 4.2%, in line with expectations, after it had unexpectedly risen to 4.3% in July – which was the highest level for the jobless rate since October 2021.
The number of jobs added in the prior two months were both revised downward, with job creation in June revised down by 61,000 from a gain of 179,000 to 118,000 – while July was revised down by 25,000 from 114,000 to 89,000.
With the revision, July's job creation was the lowest nonfarm payrolls...

If a corpse will be found באדמה — on the land that G-d your Lord, gives you to possess it, נופל בשדה — fallen in the field, ולא נודע — it was not known who smote him. (דברים כא א)
The Torah goes on to detail the laws of the עגלה ערופה — the axed heifer that is brought by the city that is determined by the elders and judges to be in closest proximity to the corpse.
The crux of this ritual is to display the responsibility of the community for a stranger's death. They must declare they were not culpable for the death, having not ignored any guest in the town, providing them with food and escort. By taking the heifer — too young to propagate, to a harsh valley — too hard to work and produce fruit, and axing the bac...

Napoleon Bonaparte (1768-1821) was the emperor of France from 1804-1814 and is regarded as one of history’s greatest military leaders. A unique aspect about Napoleon was that he was known to be relatively short in terms of physical stature. The story is told of Napoleon who was one time trying to grab something that was high up, however, it was beyond his reach. One of his servants standing nearby, said, “Don’t worry, I’m bigger than you, let me grab it for the king!”Napoleon responded to his servant, “You are taller than me, however, I am still bigger!”Physical stature is one thing. But it is certainly not the full picture. Qualitative largeness is much bigger than quantitative largeness! The Sefer Shemen Rosh, written by Rav Asher Anshil Katz, us...
