Divers have located the Altalena, a cargo ship bringing arms to the Irgun militia during the 1948 War of Independence that was hit on the orders of then-prime minister David Ben-Gurion and sunk off Israel’s coast, two far-right ministers announced Monday.
The ship, still intact, was located at 12:30 a.m. at a depth of 503 meters (1,650 feet), some 20 kilometers (12 miles) off Israel’s coast “during a complex maritime search operation,” National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu, of the Otzma Yehudit party, announced in a joint statement.
They credited “long months of meticulous planning and preparation” and “special sensors and advanced survey systems” for the find, saying more details were to be revealed at a press conference.
A military spokesperson told The Times of Israel that the IDF had no involvement in the operation to locate the vessel.

Yes, Blima, there is a story behind Lindsay Clancy, but there is a story behind every single cold-blooded killer! Someone needs to take Blima's nursing license away from her ASAP, we don't need people that work in Hospitals to have sympathy for murderers!
The bizarre fandom around Lindsay Clancy is the latest example of a moral rot infecting a small cohort of conspiracy-minded, self-engrossed women.
In a clear case of female empathy gone awry, they have transformed a Massachusetts nurse who strangled her three babies into the sole victim in this tragedy, while demonizing their poor father, Patrick.
The murdered children, Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months, barely get a mention in the outpouring of support for Lindsay, who has become a vehicle for the “TikTok Moms’ ” own fake victimhood.
Lindsay has pleaded not guilty to the 2023 murder of her children who she methodically strangled, one by one, with exercise bands after sending Patrick out to pick up dinner and medications. She does not dispute that she killed the children but claims she was “suffering from psychosis at the time.”
The prosecution contends she “acted intentionally, rationally, and swiftly to accomplish a very specific goal — to kill . . . She knew exactly what she was doing.”
The five-week trial has been televised to an increasingly obsessive audience of true crime nuts, assorted snoops and a disturbing number of women who have taken to filming themselves holding babies and whining about how hard it is to be a mom.
Some women even caption their TikTok videos “Same, Lindsay.”
It’s a twisted form of attention-seeking in the guise of empathy. These women are normalizing the horror of a mother killing her children, making it seem like a natural response to the everyday challenges of child-rearing, which far-less privileged women have managed to navigate since the dawn of time, like every other challenge in life.
Lindsay fans have raised almost $1 million in the name of her parents, and hundreds dressed in pink and rallied for her outside the court last week.
“We are all Lindsay” is their sick message.
One woman sobbed on camera that Lindsay can’t hug her children’s stuffed toys because her cruel husband supposedly threw them away. But what about the children who can’t hug their toys? The father who can’t hug his children?
It’s the same inversion behind the Luigi Mangione fangirls, the London mob who valorized Cambridge hoaxer Jason Arday and the demonization of Erika Kirk.
The Lindsay frenzy goes hand in hand with the left’s upending of the moral order, in which sympathy is reserved for murderers, rapists and illegal migrant child molesters while police must be defunded, ICE abolished and prisons closed.
The Clancy trial is simply a promotional vehicle for this new amorality.
There is a soap opera pathos to this real-life drama of a perfect family brutalized by unspeakable tragedy.
Each day, the people who loved the children best have been called to the witness box: the husband, the parents, the in-laws, the sister, the friends, the nanny — all with the same haunted look. You wonder at the public interest of televising their private grief.
Patrick’s father, Chris Clancy, described them as “the all-American family” and praised Lindsay as a “very, very good mother.”
But unlike a soap opera, there are no easy villains in this case, apart from the one person who committed the crime, whose suffering is impossible to discount.
Lindsay, 36, presents as a sympathetic figure in court. She is in a wheelchair because a suicide attempt left her paralyzed from the waist down. She sits wan and mostly silent, quietly sobbing when the children are mentioned, her face half-hidden by her long, lustrous brown hair.
In a moment that encapsulates the heartbreak of this family cataclysm, she broke down one day during graphic autopsy testimony, whimpering “I can’t do this” as a medical examiner described the ligature marks around Cora’s neck and the broken blood vessels in her eyes and said it would have been a painful death for the little girl.
Only a heart of stone could fail to be moved by Lindsay’s anguish.
But she showed her children no mercy that day and this trial is for them. Prosecutor Shanan Buckingham makes that point to the jury by wearing bows in her hair every day in memory of Cora who loved big bows in her soft blonde hair.
All three children died the same painful way; Dawson first, then Cora and finally baby Callan, who was still alive when paramedics found him but died in the hospital.
After strangling her children, Lindsay left them in the basement while she went upstairs to her bedroom, slit her wrists and throat and threw herself out the second-story window onto the snow-covered lawn below where her husband found her when he returned from the errands she had sent him on.
You wonder how a woman could inflict such unimaginable cruelty on her husband, let alone her children.
First responders on the scene described primal howls of pain coming from the basement when Patrick found his babies after paramedics arrived to treat his wife.
Evidence before the court is that the cuts to Lindsay’s wrist and neck were superficial, leading the prosecution to suggest that it was a fake suicide attempt, which the defense denies. She almost died.
Lindsay has said she heard a voice instructing her to kill the kids and her lawyers claim she was suffering from postpartum psychosis, a rare ailment that usually occurs immediately after childbirth, not eight months later.
Patrick, 38, is admirably stoic in his testimony but when asked to describe each of his children, he could barely get the words out. He and his parents have been remarkably sympathetic to Lindsay in their testimony, describing her as a devoted mother. He comes across as a patient, thoughtful husband who did everything humanly possible to help his wife with an illness he couldn’t fully fathom.
He has since remarried, which is deemed a capital offense by the Lindsay fans who interpret his stoicism as guilt.
Lisa Rinna, the pneumatic-lipped actress of “Real Housewives” fame, is typical of this halfwit crew, and took to social media last week to allege: “Patrick’s the one who did it . . . Not Lindsay. Patrick did it. Because [I] heard that women, typically, don’t strangle.”
It’s hard to understand why the grieving father is subject to such vitriol, other than the fact that he’s a man, which is a crime in itself to the perpetually angry TikTok brigades.
Closing arguments begin this week so we will soon see if the jury finds Lindsay mad or bad. Either way she will be locked away for a long time, whether in jail or a psychiatric facility.
That’s sad, but her children deserve more sympathy for the lives they never had a chance to live.
The Long Island teacher and mom of four killed when her SUV plunged into a backyard pool appears to have suffered a medical episode before the fatal crash, sources close to the investigation told The Post on Sunday.
Allison Rahmani, 40, died Friday when she lost control of her vehicle and drove it into the swimming pool at her family’s Hewlett home.
Police said Rahmani was able to call 911 from the vehicle but could not be saved and died on the way to the hospital.
Sources said police believe she suffered some kind of medical emergency that led to the horrifying accident and do not suspect foul play, although the probe is ongoing.
Rahmani was lovingly remembered Sunday at a funeral service at Boulevard-Riverside Chapels in Hewlett – the same day she was scheduled to leave for a romantic Paris getaway with her husband, Matthew Rahmani, president of Irving Place Minyan Orthodox Synagogue in Woodmere.
Allison, who recently celebrated her 40th birthday, was math coordinator at the Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway.
At her funeral, her heartbroken husband paid tribute to her by reciting the “Eshet Chayil,” or “Woman of Valor,” a wedding prayer grooms traditionally recite to their brides at Jewish weddings.
“We are broken,” her mother, Rachelle Rohde, told mourners during a moving eulogy. “We will never be the same.”

"They betrayed the path of the Torah under the guise of Haredi identity, collaborators from our own ranks. With insane sums of money, posters, a mad campaign of voter suppression, all funded by left-wing money, liberal money, and we have clear proof of this."

"You can't hold a rope at both ends"
“As part of the program Black Kippahs, attorney Natan Rosenblat opened with sharp criticism of Ponovitz's turning to the secular courts, especially because their appeal was rejected this week
‘You cannot, on the one hand, hand over the most important and largest yeshiva in the Torah world to the secular court so that it will decide, and on the other hand shout at the court for ‘taking control of the yeshiva world,’’ Rosenblat argued.
According to him, turning to the secular courts and avoiding resolving the dispute according to Torah law is essentially raising a hand against the Torah of Moses, and it undermines the ability to complain about the judicial system when it intervenes in Haredi matters.”
"There is recognition of the state and the law here"
Maj. (res.) Yoav Adomi, one of the founders of the Milouimnikim movement, pointed in the discussion to what he described as built‑in hypocrisy:
“On the one hand, they take budgets and positions, and when it’s convenient they turn to the High Court of Justice — like with the kosher‑phone reform or daycare subsidies — and on the other hand they cry out against the state and against the High Court.”
Alongside his criticism, Adomi noted that he welcomes the trend:
“Personally, I’m happy, because this shows recognition that there is a state, there is law, and there is an enforcement system with obligations and rights.”
Attorney Yair Gabay compared the situation to what happens in the national‑religious community and offered a sharp forecast:
“In Religious Zionism, you won’t find a boy from Merkaz HaRav or Har HaMor who goes into another yeshiva and beats the rabbis — it simply doesn’t exist,”
Gabay began, adding:
“These events hint at a deep change within the Haredi yeshiva world. In not many years, every Haredi parent who wants the best for his son will send him to a Haredi Hesder Yeshiva.”
Yishai Cohen shared a personal conversation from the past with a friend at the coffee corner of their yeshiva ketana. When his friend said that his life’s aspiration was to reach the Ponovezh Yeshiva, Cohen asked him in astonishment:
“Your aspiration is really to go to a yeshiva where they throw leban (chalk) at each other? That’s your life goal?”
