“Nazi!”: Wounded IDF Hero Assaulted by Chareidim on Way to Rehab for Severe Injuries

 

A severely wounded IDF officer was verbally and physically assaulted by a group of young Chareidi men on his way to a rehabilitation center.

MK Hili Tropper (National Unity) revealed the disturbing account in a public post, sharing a message he received from the officer, who has spent the past year and eight months recovering from life-altering injuries sustained during Operation Swords of Iron.

According to the officer, the assault took place at the Bnei Brak junction, a major artery in the largely Charedi city. “About ten young charedim jumped on my vehicle,” he wrote. “They cursed, spat, called me ‘Nazi,’ broke the mirrors. I, an injured IDF officer on crutches, with a brace on my hand — can’t believe it.”

The soldier, who has undergone 12 surgeries and still carries shrapnel in his body, said he served without hesitation to protect Israel — only to find himself the target of hatred from within its borders.

“I did it without thinking twice. That’s how we were raised. And now I find myself surrounded by chants of ‘We’ll die and not enlist,’ by violence, by hate,” the officer wrote.

His message also accused Charedi leadership of enabling extremism through silence. “This doesn’t represent all charedim,” he said. “But when the leadership is silent, some take it to the extreme. We’re not asking for thanks. We’re asking for a state. One state. A state that we’re all part of — even when it hurts.”

Tropper, a former minister and centrist voice in the Knesset, published the officer’s message in full, calling it “a cry that cannot be ignored.”

No arrests have been reported in connection with the attack. Police have not commented on whether an investigation is underway.

Tehran Is Frantically Attempting To Rearm Hezbollah & Houthis

 


A Wall Street Journal report says that Iran is accelerating its efforts to rearm Hezbollah and the Houthis in Yemen.

According to the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, Iran has discovered a way to continue to transfer weapons to the Hezbollah terror group through Iraq and Syria. 

Instead of its past tactics of openly transferring truckfuls of weapons and missiles to Lebanon through Syria, it has recently begun using small vehicles for the same purpose and has succeeded in transferring Kornet anti-tank missiles and advanced weaponry into Lebanon.

However, not all transfer attempts were successful. According to the WSJ report, the new Syrian government has intercepted several arms shipments from Tehran to Hezbollah, including Grads rockets and other weaponry. Additionally, Lebanese armed forces have also intercepted weapons shipments, including Russian-made anti-tank missiles, through Syria.

“Iran is rebuilding its presence in the Levant by sending missiles to Hezbollah and weapons from Iraq to Syria,” said Michael Knights, a senior fellow at the U.S.-based Washington Institute for Near East Policy with expertise in Iran’s militia allies.

Iran has also attempted to transfer advanced weapons to the Houthis in Yemen. 

Only weeks after a ceasefire was announced between Iran and Israel, forces from Yemen’s internationally recognized government intercepted a massive shipment of advanced military equipment—750 tons of missiles, drone parts, and warheads sent by Tehran to the Houthis. 

The shipment, which was concealed aboard a ship called a dhow under crates of air conditioners, was intercepted by the National Resistance Force, a military coalition aligned with the Yemeni government. 

The U.S. Central Command confirmed that it was the National Resistance Force’s largest seizure of advanced Iranian conventional weapons and included Iranian-developed Qader antiship missiles and components for the Saqr air-defense system, which the Houthis have used to bring down U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drones. 

“The timing and scale of this shipment strongly suggest Iran is moving quickly to replenish Houthi stockpiles depleted by U.S. airstrikes,” said Mohammed al-Basha, founder of U.S.-based Middle East security advisory Basha Report. It shows Tehran wants to “sustain their high operational tempo targeting Israel and commercial maritime traffic,” he said.

Goldkrap's Vile Remarks on Bereaved Families

 

Aryeh Ehrlich, editor of Mishpacha magazine, delivered a scathing rebuke of MK Yitzhak Goldkrap (United Torah Judaism) after the lawmaker suggested that the grief of religious-Zionist families who lost loved ones in the war with Hamas “should remain with them.”

In a weekend interview with Makor Rishon, Goldkrap stated:
“Their pain should remain with them, and our pain should remain with us. Don’t bring me your pain and pass it onto me. Let’s decide that everyone deals with their own package.”

Ehrlich condemned the comments on social media, writing:
“I am ashamed and humiliated by the words spoken by my representative in the Knesset. I literally bury my head in shame at such callous and un-Jewish quotes like ‘Don’t dump your pain on us’ or ‘Everyone with their own package.’ These alienating remarks go against everything our Sages taught us about the suffering of Israel, and about how when a Jew is in pain, the Divine Presence cries and says, ‘It is too heavy for My head, too heavy for My arm.’”

Ehrlich contrasted Goldkrap’s remarks with the example of Moses, who, despite being exempt from slavery, descended to witness and share the suffering of his brethren in Egypt.

‘This Tone Has No Connection to Haredi Thought’
While acknowledging deep disagreements over army enlistment, Ehrlich emphasized that the Torah approach demands empathy and solidarity:
“This tone-deaf attitude has no connection whatsoever to authentic Haredi thought as we received it from our rabbis across all communities—Sephardic, Lithuanian, and certainly Hasidic, who were raised on the foundations of Ahavat Yisrael. Our rabbis were horrified when Jewish soldiers fell on the battlefield. They declared fasts and held prayer gatherings.”

He recalled moments of communal unity, such as the prayer rally for IDF soldier Nachshon Wachsman in 1994, where Haredi leaders led thousands in fervent prayers. “Where has the basic Jewish empathy for the suffering of our brothers gone?” he asked.

Call for Introspection and Action
Ehrlich warned that statements like Goldkrap’s are not only harmful but contrary to Torah values:
“Such callous statements like ‘that’s your pain’ do not advance Torah study in any way. We must approach bereaved families with reverence and say to them: even if we don’t agree on the issue of yeshiva students, our hearts are with your pain—because the people of Israel are one body.”

He further criticized Haredi MKs for avoiding condolence visits:
“This avoidance breeds insensitivity toward others’ pain—an insensitivity that has nothing to do with our stance on the draft, and in fact, severely damages our concern for the status of yeshiva students.”

‘Silence Is Always an Option’
Concluding his remarks, Ehrlich urged Goldkrap to retract his comments and called on other Haredi representatives to demonstrate compassion:
“I sincerely hope that Goldkrap will find the decency to publicly retract his words—without asterisks, and without claiming ‘my words were taken out of context.’ If they’re not capable of that—then silence is always an option."


France Had been Collaborating With Hamas Murderers Since 2020

 


Paris has been carrying out “secret contacts” with Hamas at least since October 2020, when a high-ranking French intelligence official met two with senior Hamas figures in Doha, Israel’s Channel 12 reported on Saturday.

The meeting, initiated by the French, came to Israel’s attention through a document captured by the IDF in Gaza, which provided a detailed report on the meeting.

On Oct. 16, 2020, the No. 3 in French intelligence met with Hamas senior officials Moussa Abu Marzouk and Khaled Mashaal, respectively the former and current chairman of Hamas’s so-called political bureau.

The captured document revealed the minutes of the Qatar talks.

“I am happy about this meeting. I come to it with President [Emmanuel] Macron’s approval. We don’t want to talk only to the Palestinian Authority, but also to you. We, the French, are historically close to the Palestinian struggle,” the French intelligence representative told the Hamas officials.

Abu Marzouk and Mashaal replied: “Even if the international community supports the Zionist entity, be sure that we will defeat it. This land is ours, and our resistance and revolution have been going on for more than a century, and we will continue until victory.”

The document shows no mention of the French protesting the clear statements of Hamas’s intent to destroy Israel.

The revelation comes as Macron announced his intention to recognize a Palestinian state, posting to social media on July 24: “I will make the solemn announcement at the United Nations General Assembly in September.’’

In response to the Channel 12 report, a French diplomat denied the document’s contents. “These baseless accusations are apparently intended to undermine the legitimacy of our efforts toward a two-state political solution,” the diplomat said.

“Hamas is a terrorist organization that has carried out the worst antisemitic massacre of the 21st century. France will continue to work to permanently disarm it and exclude it from any political ‘day after,’ in Gaza and beyond,” the diplomat added.

Iran suspects Israel is behind a recent wave of explosions targeting oil refineries and homes, the New York Times reports. While Iranian officials privately blame Israeli sabotage, Tehran has stopped short of direct accusations-likely to avoid pressure for retaliation.


Trump says Hamas wants to die! He finally figured it out

 

 Trump on Hamas and Gaza: 

"They pulled out in terms of negotiating. It was too bad. Hamas didn't really want to make a deal. I think they want to die."

Pilot Who Ejected Jewish Kids For Singing In Hebrew Trained Two 9/11 Hijackers

 


The antisemitic scandal surrounding Vueling Airlines has taken a mindboggling twist as it has been revealed that Iván Chirivella, a pilot who trained two of the 9/11 hijackers, was the captain who ordered the removal of 50 Jewish children from a flight between Valencia and Paris.

Vueling Airlines confirmed Friday that Chirivella, a native of the Canary Islands and a senior flight instructor at an independent aviation school, was in command during the incident. Chirivella was the flight instructor for at least two of the terrorists behind the September 11 attacks – ringleader Mohamed Atta and Marwan Al Shehhi – at Jones Aviation in Florida in 2000.

Despite this alarming history, Vueling promoted Chirivella to a senior training role, placing him not only in the cockpit but in charge of mentoring other pilots.

Trump Tells Off Powell Straight to his face!


 


After months of criticizing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, President Donald Trump took the fight to the Fed’s front door on Thursday, publicly scorning the central bank chief over the ballooning costs of a long-planned building project. Powell pushed back, challenging the president’s latest price tag as incorrect.

Wearing hard hats and grim faces, standing in the middle of the construction project, Trump and Powell addressed the cameras. Trump charged that the renovation would cost $3.1 billion, much higher than the Fed’s $2.5 billion figure. Powell, standing next to him, shook his head.

The Fed Chair, after looking at a paper presented to him by Trump, said the president was including the cost of renovating a separate Fed building, known as the Martin building, that was finished five years ago.

The visit represented a significant ratcheting up of the president’s pressure on Powell to lower borrowing costs, which Trump says would accelerate economic growth and reduce the government’s borrowing costs. Presidents rarely visit the Fed’s offices, though they are just a few blocks from the White House, an example of the central bank’s independence from day-to-day politics.

“We have to get the interest rates down,” Trump said later after a short tour, addressing the cameras this time without Powell. “People are pretty much unable to buy houses.”

Trump is likely to be disappointed next week, however, when Fed officials will meet to decide its next steps on interest rates. Powell and other officials have signaled they will likely keep their key rate unchanged at about 4.3%. However, economists and Wall Street investors expect the Fed may start cutting rates in September.

Goldknopf Threatens Ultra-Orthodox Exodus Over Israel’s Military Draft Dispute

 

And where, pray tell, is a better place for frum Yidden? In Europe, with the rampant anti-semitism? In the UK, where the Dept of Education is trying to force their curricula on the private schools? Even the Goldene Medina, where BH, Yidden have freedom and equal rights, the anti-semitism is still strongly felt. And there is inrterference in our chinuch as well as many nisyonos. 

EY is a place that is blessed and it’s a mitzva to live there, even when it’s golus. There is no learning that equals Toras Eretz Yisroel. Its a hollow threat!


Israel’s United Torah Judaism leader, Ytzhak Goldknopf, sparked political uproar on Thursday after warning that the ultra-Orthodox community might consider leaving Israel if the government begins arresting yeshiva students who refuse military service. His remarks came after several Haredi draft evaders were recently detained, intensifying the already heated debate over conscription exemptions.

In an interview with the religious newspaper Makor Rishon, Goldknopf declared, “If there is no choice and the ultra-Orthodox have to leave the country, then they will leave the country. The ultra-Orthodox will not change their way of life because there is an army and a war. If the army is short 50,000 soldiers, go take the draft dodgers from Tel Aviv and Gush Dan.”

Netanyahu Answers the Dunce Macron: Palestinian state would be launch pad to annihilate Israel

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded on Thursday evening to French President Emmanuel Macron's announcement that France would officially recognize the “State of Palestine”.

"We strongly condemn President Macron’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state next to Tel Aviv in the wake of the October 7 massacre. Such a move rewards terror and risks creating another Iranian proxy, just as Gaza became. A Palestinian state in these conditions would be a launch pad to annihilate Israel — not to live in peace beside it. Let’s be clear: the Palestinians do not seek a state alongside Israel; they seek a state instead of Israel," he said.

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar criticized Macron and said, “The French President's pretension to create by mere words an illusory arrangement in our land is ridiculous and not serious. His statement this evening shows that all the conditions that he himself set a few weeks ago - have evaporated. All that remains is the illusory state he presumes to establish.”

Roshei Yeshiva Panic as 120 Bochurim From Top Charedi Yeshivos Have Recently Enlisted In IDF

 

Thank you Hashem for showing Your children open miracles! First You showed us a double military miracle by defeating Hezbollah and Iran. Now You show us a double Chareidi miracle, by having them rejoin Klal Yisroel and contribute towards its security and by no longer allowing Chareidi government handouts that allowed them to be oiver the issur of turning yourself into a charity case. Boruch Hatov V’Hameitiv!

A significant development is underway in the Israeli charedi community. Despite the heated battle in the Knesset over the draft exemption law and the charedi parties intrasigent stance on the issue, dozens of charedi yeshiva students have recently joined or are in the process of enlisting in the IDF.

The pro-draft newspaper Lechatchila published a report on the matter on Tuesday, stating that “Dozens of students from mainstream yeshivot are enlisting in the IDF.”

According to the article, six students from Wolfson Yeshiva, considered one of the most prestigious institutions in the charedi world, announced their decision to enlist. This triggered an emergency assembly led by the Rosh Yeshiva. Reportedly, three of the students plan to join “Kodkod”, a prestigious IDF tech unit, two will serve in combat roles, and one will transition to a Haredi Hesder Yeshiva (which combines Torah study with military service) before enlisting in a combat unit.

The news shocked many in the yeshiva and has caused a stir throughout the charedi world, especially because two of the enlisting students are alumni of Kol Torah, one of the most well-respected and long-standing yeshivot.

During the emergency meeting at Wolfson Yeshiva, Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Daniel Wolfson addressed the students and expressed deep concern about the move. He argued that no military program can truly preserve a charedi lifestyle and shared his sorrow over the students’ decision to leave.

Lechatchila, despite supporting Haredi enlistment, quoted Rabbi Wolfson:

“The army doesn’t want you and isn’t waiting for you with open arms.”

He also claimed that religious soldiers are disproportionately sent to the front lines and therefore suffer higher casualty rates. As evidence, he pointed to the recent deaths of four soldiers in Netzah Yehuda Battalion—a predominantly charedi combat unit. According to him, such incidents demonstrate that the army poses a greater risk to religious soldiers.

Lechatchila’s investigation reveals that the Wolfson case is part of a wider trend. Students from top-tier charedi yeshivot—such as Wolfson, Torah B’Tifarta, Hevron, Kamenitz, and even Ponevezh and Tifrach—have recently begun enlistment procedures, joining either elite tech programs like Kodkod or Yoav, or entering combat and intelligence units designed for Haredi soldiers.

In at least two known cases, yeshiva staff were aware of the students’ intentions to enlist but allowed them to remain until the end of the semester, under the condition they not speak about it with other students.

In another case, a student already serving in the Hashmonaim Brigade convinced two of his friends to follow him—one of whom is scheduled to enlist in the next draft cycle, and the other has registered for the Kedkod program.

According to Lechatchila’s full data analysis, since May, approximately 120 single charedi men, enrolled in elite yeshivot, have begun enlistment procedures. Over 70 registered for the Kodkod program, and over 40 joined other tracks.

These younger recruits join the ranks of married charedi men (avreichim) who have recently started similar enlistment processes. As revealed in Lechatchila, two avreichim from the Haredi community in Tiberias, studying at a local kollel, approached Rabbi Moshe Hillel Hirsch, head of the Slabodka Yeshiva, sharing that they felt spiritually unfulfilled and were under severe financial stress due to recent sanctions on yeshiva students.

Rabbi Hirsch reportedly listened and ruled that in their situation it was permissible to enlist.

Upon returning to their kollel and announcing their intent to enlist after the summer session, the shocked head of the kollel consulted with Rabbi Shraga Steinman, asking if he should expel the men. Steinman allegedly replied,

“You shall do according to what your rabbi instructs you—why kick them out?”

The response calmed the kollel head, though the news caused surprise. Days later, the kollel held a farewell party for the two under the headline: “You shall do as instructed.”

According to Lechatchila, the enlisting yeshiva students are raising the bar in units like the Hashmonaim Brigade. A senior figure involved in recruiting Haredim said:

“These new recruits are the best of the best from top yeshivot. To join Hashmonaim, it’s not enough to be charedi—you need to meet very high personal and spiritual standards. Just like Hevron Yeshiva only accepts top-tier students, so does Hashmonaim.”

Those not accepted into Hashmonaim are being directed to other Haredi-friendly units, such as Netzah Yehuda or Pluga Chetz. “There’s no shortage of options,” said the source.

Despite the influx of interest, with hundreds of applicants, the unit remains selective:

“I’d rather take 80 high-quality soldiers than 300 who aren’t,” said the source.
“Until now, we had to limit draft cycles to maintain quality. Today, we can expand while keeping the same standard. After all, being the ‘Sayeret’ (elite unit) of the Torah world in the IDF is a big responsibility.”


Jewish Children Removed From Spanish Flight for ‘Singing Jewish Songs’, Camp Director Arrested

 

A Vueling Airlines flight departing Valencia turned into controversy after the crew removed approximately 50 Jewish children and their summer camp director, prompting accusations of antisemitism and a strong response from Israeli officials.

According to Israel’s Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Minister Amichai Chikli, the children — aged 10 to 15 and part of the French Kinneret Club summer camp — were singing Hebrew songs on board when the crew ordered them to stop. When the camp director refused to comply with subsequent demands, the crew called Spain’s Guardia Civil. The director was arrested, while the children were forced to disembark.

Chikli described the event as a “serious antisemitic incident” and is demanding accountability from the Spanish airline. Footage of the removal quickly spread across social media, fueling anger among Jewish communities in Europe and beyond.

Witnesses Dispute Airline’s Claims
Some passengers not connected to the group have come forward to say the children behaved well. A French passenger told Le Parisien, “I didn’t hear any noise or screams. No one really understood what was going on. I was expecting to see someone drunk standing up, but no. Nothing.” Another passenger wrote on Instagram that the teenagers boarded calmly and left the plane politely when asked, despite the flight being delayed by more than two hours.

Vueling Responds
Vueling denied any religious bias, stating that the group’s “highly combative attitude” and mishandling of emergency equipment created a safety risk. “The actions of our crew were solely in response to behavior that compromised passenger safety,” the airline said in a statement.

The airline also claimed that the group acted aggressively toward authorities after leaving the plane, which led to the arrest of the camp director.

Legal Action and Corporate Pressure
The Kinneret Club summer camp announced plans to take legal action against Vueling, calling the removal a “purely antisemitic act” while assuring parents the children are safe in a hotel and scheduled to return to France.

Jewish billionaire investor Bill Ackman called out Vueling’s parent company, International Airlines Group (IAG), noting that Qatar owns roughly 25% of IAG’s shares. Ackman demanded that the company’s CEO and board be held accountable for the incident.

Vueling, a Spanish low-cost airline acquired by IAG in 2012, operates over 100 routes across Europe and North Africa.

Macron Breaks with Allies, Vows to Recognize Palestinian State in September Despite Hamas War Crimes

 

In a controversial move drawing criticism from Israel leaders and analysts, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that France will unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state this September, despite the ongoing war with Hamas and the group’s continued refusal to disarm or release Israeli hostages.

Macron’s decision, which he plans to formalize at the United Nations General Assembly, risks undermining long-standing diplomatic frameworks that call for a negotiated peace process between Israel and the Palestinians. Critics argue it sends the wrong message at a time when Israel is still reeling from the October 7 Hamas massacre and working to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure embedded in Gaza.

“France recognizes the right of Palestinians to a state of their own,” Macron said on social media, without acknowledging that the de facto rulers of Gaza, Hamas, continue to call for Israel’s destruction and reject any two-state solution.

Israel has condemned past attempts at unilateral recognition, stating it rewards terror and sidelines peace. Though Israel has not yet officially responded, one senior Israeli official told local media that Macron’s announcement “emboldens extremists and punishes the only democracy in the Middle East.”

The timing of France’s decision is raising eyebrows. Macron’s declaration comes amid a humanitarian crisis in Gaza — a crisis many say was created in large part by Hamas, which diverts aid, uses civilians as human shields, and refuses to allow ceasefires that would benefit its own people.

Washington reiterated its opposition to unilateral moves on Palestinian statehood. “A lasting solution can only be achieved through direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians,” a U.S. State Department spokesperson said Wednesday.

France would be the most influential Western country to take this step, joining smaller European nations such as Norway, Ireland, and Spain, which have recently recognized a Palestinian state — moves seen by many as symbolic rather than constructive.

Critics warn that legitimizing a Palestinian state now, before key issues such as disarmament, security guarantees, and recognition of Israel’s right to exist are addressed, risks locking in instability rather than promoting peace.

Meanwhile, Hamas continues to hold 50 Israeli hostages and has violated multiple ceasefire attempts brokered by the international community.

Israel maintains it remains committed to a negotiated two-state solution — but only when its security can be guaranteed and peace partners renounce violence and terror.

As France prepares to formalize its stance at the UN in September, questions remain about whether Macron’s move will isolate France diplomatically, strain its relationship with Jerusalem, or embolden Hamas as it continues its war against the Jewish state.

Sabotaged from Within? Israeli Mossad Caused Over 100 Iranian Missile Launchers to Self-Detonate


 *Sabotaged from Within? Israeli Mossad Ops Allegedly Caused Over 100 Iranian Missile Launchers to Self-Detonate*_


A stunning allegation from within Iran claims that Israel successfully hacked Iran’s entire air defense system and caused more than 100 missile launchers to explode upon activation during last month’s conflict.

In a rare admission of major military failure, Iranian political analyst Saeed Leilaz told Eqtesad Online that “120 to 150 rocket launchers exploded the moment they were activated.” He further claimed that Israel infiltrated Iran’s entire air defense network, rendering it virtually useless.

“When someone says it’s between 120 and 150, that’s huge — but the real number could be significantly higher.”

The operation represents one of the most successful cyber-intelligence strikes in modern warfare, highlighting the depth of Israeli infiltration into Iranian military systems.

Heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne passes away at 76

 

Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary British singer who pioneered heavy metal with Black Sabbath and achieved enduring fame as a solo artist and reality TV star, passed away Tuesday at the age of 76 following a lengthy battle with Parkinson’s disease.

A statement from his family quoted by Variety said, “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”

Just two weeks before his death, Osbourne took the stage in Birmingham for “Back to the Beginning,” a farewell festival celebrating Black Sabbath’s legacy and its global influence on heavy metal.

Osbourne publicly revealed his Parkinson’s diagnosis in 2020 and retired from touring in 2023, citing spinal injuries.

Osbourne’s five-decade career began in 1969 with Black Sabbath, whose early albums, including “Paranoid” and “Master of Reality”, defined the heavy metal genre. His departure in 1979 sparked a successful solo career, with albums like “Blizzard of Ozz” and “No More Tears” cementing his legacy.

He also gained pop culture notoriety through MTV’s “The Osbournes”, a reality series that offered an intimate look at his family life.

Known as much for his musical genius as his chaotic personal life, Osbourne’s career was marked by controversy and resilience. Despite battles with addiction and legal troubles, he remained a central figure in rock history.

Osbourne is survived by his wife Sharon and five children. Though Sharon Osbourne is not Jewish, as her father was Jewish while her mother was not, she was nevertheless raised Jewish.

Last year, Osbourne ripped rapper Kanye West for using a sample of his music without permission, saying he refused West’s request to use the music because of his antisemitism.

In a post on X at the time, Osbourne wrote that West “asked permission to sample a section of a 1983 live performance of ‘Iron Man’ from the US festival without vocals and was refused permission because he is an antisemite and has caused untold heartache to many.”

He added that West “went ahead and used the sample anyway at his album listening party last night. I want no association with this man!”

Williamsburg Shomrim and NYPD Nab Con Artist Who Swindled Local Woman Out of Thousands

 

A brazen scammer who tricked a Williamsburg woman out of a large sum of cash was arrested after attempting to scam her a second time—only to walk right into a sting operation set up by Williamsburg Shomrim and the NYPD.

The ordeal began on Friday when the victim received a frightening phone call from someone claiming there was a warrant out for her arrest. The scammer demanded a large cash payment to “lift the warrant,” and, panicked, the woman complied and handed over the money.

After consulting with her family, she realized she had been scammed and contacted Williamsburg Shomrim, who immediately began working with the NYPD to investigate.

Beit Shemesh Chareidim Riot and Refuse to Allow Ambulance to Pass!

 *Beit Shemesh News*




Clashes in RBS Bet: Violent Protest Over Draft Arrests Shuts Down Major Roads, Trash Fires Lit, Ambulance Blocked

A major protest is currently underway in Ramat Beit Shemesh Bet following today’s arrest of army draft evaders. Extremist demonstrators have blocked multiple roads, set trash cans on fire, and caused widespread traffic disruptions.

Shderot Nahar HaYarden is blocked at several points, including near Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi, Lev HaRama, and Pinchas Ben Yair. Police have sealed off entry and exit to RBS Bet in both directions, resulting in severe congestion throughout the area.

In a particularly troubling consequence of the chaos, an intensive care ambulance en route to a medical emergency is now stuck on Rav Herzog due to the roadblocks.

Police are attempting to regain control amid shouts of “Nazis” from protesters.

Roads currently affected include Herzog, Ma’apilei Egoz, and all access to Nahar HaYarden. Heavy traffic is reported throughout the area.
