Iran now Targeting Arab Cities in Israel ...58 injured in direct hit in Zarzir
Within about an hour, sirens were activated three times across northern Israel early Friday morning following launches from Iran.
Most of the launches were intercepted and the rest fell in open areas.
In one of the barrages, there was a direct hit on three buildings in Zarzir, causing damage to the buildings.
Magen David Adom EMTs and paramedics provided medical treatment and evacuated 58 patients to hospitals in northern Israel, including one in moderate condition and 57 in very mild condition from glass shards, with minor injuries.
Additional MDA teams provided medical treatment and evacuated 15 people suffering from anxiety symptoms from the scene to hospitals.
New York’s Charedi Community: "Security Is Our Responsibility"
From a reader:
Fascinating. So let me get this straight – per the author, it’s perfectly fine – even laudable – to make security arrangements for Frum institutions in the US. However – per Chareidi theology, it is absolutely, totally, 100% assur to send their members to defend the lives of their fellow Jews in Israel via the IDF.
What’s wrong with this picture??By Joseph Feldman
Thursday’s attack at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan, should send shockwaves through the Jewish world—especially the Charedi community in New York.
A car crashed into the synagogue and authorities feared an active shooter situation. It could have ended in a massacre.
It didn’t.
Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard made clear why: the synagogue had armed security on site. Those guards engaged the attacker and neutralized him. Miraculously, no congregants were killed. One security guard was injured by the vehicle, but the only person who died was the suspect.
That armed guard prevented what could have been a mass-casualty attack.
So here is the uncomfortable truth: too many Jewish institutions in New York—especially in the Charedi community—are still operating as if we live in a different era.
For years, the community has begged government for security funding, grants, and police protection. Those programs help, but let’s be honest: expecting the government to guard every yeshiva, every synagogue, every daycare, every community building in Brooklyn, Queens, and beyond is fantasy.
It’s time to stop pretending otherwise.
We live in a new reality. Jewish institutions are obvious targets. Antisemitism today is louder, bolder, and sometimes violent. Pretending that a police patrol somewhere in the neighborhood is enough protection is not security—it’s wishful thinking.
And yet, unbelievably, you can still walk into many Jewish schools and synagogues in New York with little to no real security presence.
That is unacceptable.
Parents should start demanding answers from the schools where they send their children. Congregants should demand answers from the synagogues where they pray. If an institution can raise millions for buildings and expansions, it can raise the money for trained, professional, armed security.
Enough excuses.
Every synagogue. Every yeshiva. Every Jewish school should have trained armed guards at the entrance. Not volunteers. Not someone casually watching the door. Real, professional security.
The proof is in West Bloomfield. When the attack came, the armed guard didn’t wait for police to arrive. He was already there. And because he was, lives were saved.
So here is the message to the Charedi community in New York: wake up.
Stop assuming someone else will protect us. Stop relying on government programs as the primary solution.
Start demanding security from the institutions you attend.
Because in the world we live in today, Jewish security is not optional. It’s survival.
Yes, ultimately our protection comes from Hashem. But faith does not mean standing idle. We must do our hishtadlus—our part—by taking real, responsible steps to protect our communities.
As the pasuk reminds us: “Im Hashem lo yishmor ir, shav shakad shomer.” If Hashem does not guard the city, the watchman stands guard in vain. But that does not mean we abandon the watchman—it means we do our part, and place our trust in Hashem to do the rest.
17-Year-Old Killed In Road Accident While Running To Shelter During Siren
A horrific tragedy occurred on Thursday evening in Rehovot: a 17-year-old girl was killed after being struck by a private vehicle on Menachem Begin Street in Rehovot, near the Rehovot Science Park. According to eyewitness accounts, the accident occurred during a siren, when the teenager was running toward a protected shelter.
At 21:42, a report was received at the emergency dispatch center of Magen David Adom in the Ayalon region about a pedestrian who had been hit by a car. MDA teams that arrived at the scene found the girl suffering from severe multi-system trauma.
Paramedics from MDA performed medical examinations at the scene, but tragically had to pronounce her dead at the location.
MDA paramedic Shila Alfasi said: “We saw the girl lying on the road unconscious and suffering from severe multi-system injuries. We were told she had been hit by a car. We carried out medical examinations, but she had no signs of life and we had no choice but to pronounce her dead.”
Volunteers from United Hatzalah who also arrived at the scene reported that this was a fatal accident involving a young pedestrian.
Yosef Haim Maluka, a United Hatzalah medic who was among the first to arrive, said: “We were told at the scene that a pedestrian had been struck by a private vehicle. Passersby said that while she was on her way to a protected area because of the sirens, she was hit by the car. Unfortunately, her death was determined at the scene due to the severe nature of her injuries.”
Israel Police later stated that traffic investigators from the Central District have opened an investigation into the circumstances of the fatal accident.
Police said the accident occurred in the Science Park area of Rehovot, and involved a private vehicle and a pedestrian. Medical officials confirmed the girl’s death at the scene, and the circumstances of the incident are currently under investigation.

IDF Soldiers Accused by the Lefties of Raping Arab Terrorists was a Lie!
The entire story was a lie from beginning to end. And the world ate it up. So now we know, no IDF soldier sexually abused anyone, let alone a filthy Hamas terrorist.

Code Pink rallies to defend Tehran
Amid the confrontation between Iran, the United States and Israel, a coalition of Western activist groups is campaigning under the slogan “No war with Iran,” urging governments to avoid confrontation with Tehran.
Organizations such as CodePink, Democracy Now!, Zeteo and Independent Jewish Voices frame the campaign as a defense of peace and human rights.
According to researcher Rawan Othman of the Jerusalem Center for Foreign Affairs and Security, the stance exposes a deep contradiction:
activists who claim to defend women’s rights, minorities and democracy are effectively shielding one of the world’s most repressive regimes.
Iran’s regime carries out hundreds of executions each year, violently suppresses protests, discriminates against women and minorities, and finances militant groups across the Middle East.
Muslim Terrorist in Michigan synagogue truck bombing identified

Operation Roaring Lion Day 13: Hezbollah Chooses Martyrdom
It’s Thursday, March 12, and the thirteenth day of Operation Roaring Lion. Here are the latest developments while you were asleep:
Hezbollah refuses to go quietly into the night. Last night the terror group launched its largest barrage since the November 2024 ceasefire, sending 200 missiles toward Israel—80 of which never made it across the border. The attack was less an act of aggression than a statement: a declaration that Hezbollah intends to fight to the end.
Operation Roaring Lion has now officially surpassed Rising Lion in both length and destruction. With four times the firepower Israel and the United States have struck more than eight times as many targets in the same twelve-day period. I’m not sure about dogs, but i think this confirms a lion’s roar is worse than its rise.
Iranian opposition sources report that Israeli and American drones flew over Tehran last night, striking checkpoints set up by Basij personnel and killing ten member in the process. The checkpoints were recently established to control the population and suppress the possibility of protests. According to one state media outlet, “the enemy is trying to open a new internal front.” They are likely correct.
The intelligence branch of the IRGC reportedly threatened members of the Assembly of Experts—the body responsible for selecting the Supreme Leader—as well as their family members, in order to force them to choose Mojtaba Khamenei as the next leader. Today marks the third day since the election of the IRGC’s candidate and there has still been no contact.
This morning, satellite imagery revealed three large craters at an Iranian nuclear site, following strikes that most likely occurred on March 9–10. The facility, used for experiments related to nuclear weapons development, had recently been reinforced with a layer of concrete and earth. That did not appear to be enough to stop a Massive Ordnance Penetrator, likely dropped by American B-2 bombers, though that remains unconfirmed. If anyone was wondering what became of the remains of Iran’s nuclear program, this may serve as an answer.
Now, on to the details.
Mordechai Klainberg from Oak Park Michigan Arrested For another Sexual Crime
Last year Mordechai Zishe Klainberg was charged with criminal sexual conduct, stalking, and home invasion for allegedly entering his victim’s home without her consent, entering her bathroom without consent while she was showering, forcing his way into her house and pinning her down on her bed without her consent, and repeatedly touching her sexually without her consent. Klainberg also allegedly stalked and repeatedly threatened his victim.
According to the victim’s testimony, she was a conversion candidate in the community and met Klainberg when she went to Borenstein’s, the seforim store where Klainberg worked. She testified that Klainberg had lied to her about working with the Va’ad handling her conversion and used that as leverage for his various abuses.
On December 3rd of last year Klainberg pleaded no contest to criminal sexual conduct, stalking, and breaking and entering. His sentencing is scheduled for March 18th.
Meanwhile, on December 8th Klainberg was once again arrested on a charge of criminal sexual conduct against another victim. He has pleaded not guilty in that case and is due in court on this case on April 29th. The date of the alleged incident in his second case is the same week as the alleged incident date in his first case, both in October of 2024. He is currently out on bail.
According to documents filed in his first case, Klainberg requested that while on house arrest he be allowed to daven at Yagdil Torah, and Ahavas Olam, and was granted his request.

50 Year-Old Murder of Barbara Waldman Finally Solved!
 |
| Thomas Generazio, who died of cancer at age 57 in 2004, is responsible for Waldman’s murder, according to police. |
Long Island police have finally ID’d the killer in a shocking, long-unsolved case — and the victim’s family is happy to officially clear their father’s name after more than 50 years.
Local sanitation worker Thomas Generazio, who died of cancer in 2004, was identified as the sicko home invader who broke into Barbara Waldman’s Oceanside home, tied her up, sexually assaulted her and then shot her dead on Feb. 1, 1974, cops said.
Although Generazio is long dead, Waldman’s family said they were relieved to have closure and to finally put to bed the rumors about their late father Gerald Waldman, a dentist who was never charged in the crime but was ostracized in the years after the crime.
“Happily today, 52 years later, I get to say to the world that our father is exonerated,” Marla Waldman, one of the couple’s three children, told reporters. Their dad was slapped with a “powerful social mark of disgrace” until his dying day in 2006, she added.
Barbara, 31 at the time of her death, was found bound and shot in the back of the head by her 5-year-old son, Eric, who had just gotten off the bus.
Generazio, who had lived nearby and died at age 57, was positively ID’d as the killer through familial DNA, Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder announced Wednesday.
The murder had remained unsolved for 50 years and was officially reopened in 2024 after the DNA of a relative of Generazio’s helped establish the link, authorities said. Cops would not say if they linked him to the crimes using a genealogy site.
Although officials had a “near perfect” police sketch of the criminal decades ago, DNA technology had yet to be established at the time of the murder. The killer had left a basic fingerprint but they never tied the crime to Generazio, who had two prior arrests for assault and stealing.
“An individual that we now know to be Thomas Generazio, entered that residence and committed a violent sexual assault against the mother, and then put a bullet in the back of her head, as she laid on the floor tied up with the stockings that she was wearing,” Ryder detailed, alongside the mother’s emotional children.
The motive was unclear, but Generazio lived fewer than four miles away and had worked in the neighborhood as a garbage man, cops said. It’s possible he had been the Waldman’s garbage man at one point, they added.
“Unfortunately for him, he died at age 57 due to cancer, but we would have liked to see him in jail for that entire time for the brutal murder that he did,” Ryder added.
The Waldman children said that despite the break in the case, the trauma they’ve endured will linger for the rest of their lives.
“I’ve had that image of my mom in my head since I was 5 — and it isn’t going away until I die,” said Eric Waldman, who found his mother’s body.
Hezbollah terrorists launch 100 rockets at Israel — overwhelming the Iron Dome
Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon on Wednesday launched 100 rockets at Israel — overwhelming Israel’s lauded Iron Dome system so much that only half were shot down, an Israel Defense Force source exclusively told The Post.
In response, the IDF is preparing a ground invasion into Lebanon, the source said Wednesday. The attacks from Iran’s proxy militant group and counter assault from Israel mark a new front in the ongoing US-Israeli joint military mission that the US has dubbed Operation Epic Fury.
“The IDF will not tolerate any harm to Israeli civilians and will forcibly respond against any threat posed to the State of Israel,” an Israel Defense Forces spokesperson said.
The incoming from Lebanon has put Israel’s missile defense system to the test, with rockets not being taken out. It’s unclear what damage has been caused in Israel or the scale of a possible Israeli ground operation in response.
The Israeli Air Force is striking ready-to-launch projectile launchers and additional infrastructure sites belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization across Lebanon, according to a statement from the IDF.
The escalation comes on the 12th day of the most recent war with Iran – and its proxies – that has the support militarily of the United States. Israel’s last major war with Iran in June lasted 12 days.
Israelis throughout Wednesday braced for escalated attacks from Lebanon — and possibly the Houthis in Yemen. The public has been asked to follow the ongoing alerts and guidelines for sheltering.
Trump tells off the "Weak and Pathetic" Herzog ,Again
In a conversation with Axios's Barak Ravid, Trump debated Herzog's claim that he needs to wait for a legal opinion and said that he alone has to decide on the matter.
"He doesn't need any legal opinions. He is full of crap," Trump reportedly said, adding that his Israeli counterpart "is a weak and pathetic guy."
Trump said the urgency for the pardon stems from the security situation," I want Bibi to be focused on the war, not on bullshit."
