Iranians Execute Jew

 

Iranian Jew Arvin Netanel Ghahremani HY’D, 20, was executed by the Islamic Republic on Monday. Klal Yisroel around the world had been Davening for him.

The court system in Kermansha Iran, had granted a temporary reprieve to the wrongly accused Jewish man, postponing his execution by approximately six months.

Rabbi Moshe Margaretten of the Tzedek Association, had worked tirelessly on the case, as did many other Askanim around the globe. Sadly, the Supreme Court in Iran executed him despite all efforts.

Avrin was exercising at a gym in the city of Kermanshah, located 326 miles (525 kilometers) from Tehran in the western part of Iran. when he was ambushed by seven men, including a 40-year-old man who owed him money.

The purported victim, Amir Shokri, pulled out a large knife and stabbed Ghahremani. Arvin fought back in self-defense and fatally stabbed him.

Ghahremani was convicted of being an “accomplice to the intentional murder of a Muslim” and for “intentionally inflicting nonfatal injuries.”

Dr. Homayoun Sameyah, the Jewish MP in Iran’s Parliament, has tried to intervene by asking multiple lawmakers to mediate with Shokri’s family, even offered to build a mosque in his name. All his efforts were unsuccessful.

Until the last moment, efforts continued via international organizations to prevent the execution. Various parties appealed to several countries to intervene, including Russia and Germany. Additionally, lawyers and officials in Iranian Jewish communities in the US made efforts to try to influence the family of the victim to commute the death sentence and accept financial compensation.

Sadly, he was executed on Monday.

Pro-Iranian Terrorist Arrested in Syria, Now Being Investigated in Israel


 

Israel Defense Forces special forces captured a pro-Iranian terrorist operative during a raid in Syria, the military confirmed on Sunday, publishing footage from his interrogation by intelligence officers.

The raid across the Jewish state’s northern border was carried out in “recent months” by members of the Egoz commando unit, along with field interrogators of the Military Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 504.

Ali Soleiman al-Assi, a Syrian national from Saida in the southern part of the country, was tasked by Tehran with “gathering intelligence on IDF troops in the border area for future terror activity of the network,” the Israeli military announced in a post on social media on Sunday night.

“The operation prevented a future attack and led to the exposure of the operational methods of Iranian terror networks located near the Golan Heights. Al-Assi was transferred for further investigation,” it added.

“The IDF will not allow Iranian proxies in southern Syria to operate and threaten Israeli civilians,” the army statement concluded.

Earlier on Sunday, the Saudi state-owned Al-Hadath television news channel reported that Israeli commandos entered Syria and detained a Syrian citizen working with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The IDF military raid was said to have taken place in July of this year.

In the video footage shared by the IDF, Al-Assi describes to interrogators how he was approached by Iran, saying a man came to his home and told him, “Your area is good, strategically, we could make use of it.

“And then he told me, you need to work with us. What does working with you mean? Just to observe on the borders,” the Syrian continued. “He told me he’s from military intelligence … but in reality, Iran is behind them. From what I understood, he belongs to Iran.”

On Friday, Jerusalem’s elite Shayetet 13 naval commando unit captured a senior Hezbollah terrorist in northern Lebanon. The terror operative, identified as Imad Amhaz, is considered to be a “significant source of knowledge” in the terror group’s naval force, according to the IDF.

Amhaz is likewise being interrogated by the Military Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 504, which specializes in human intelligence.

Israeli forces have accelerated work on enhancing defensive measures near the Syrian border in the Golan Heights in recent weeks, Reuters reported last week, citing local security sources and analysts.

Troops have cleared land mines and established new barriers on the frontier between the area in the far northeast of Israel and the demilitarized strip bordering Syria, according to the report.

The move suggests Jerusalem could be looking to hit Hezbollah for the first time along Lebanon’s eastern border; while establishing a secure zone from which IDF soldiers can monitor the terrorist army and prevent infiltrations into Israel, sources told the news agency.

IDF were disguised as Lebanese security forces in Hezbollah operative's capture


A day after an Israeli naval commando unit captured a suspected Hezbollah operative, new details emerged on the raid.

According to Al-Akhbar – a newspaper with close ties to Hezbollah – the unit disguised as Lebanese security forces and the raid, which lasted merely four minutes and took place in Al-Bateroun on Friday, involved approximately 20 operatives and several civilians, whose identities remain unclear.

Al-Akhbar, a newspaper with close ties to Hezbollah, reports that the target building where the suspect was captured contained several residential units. "The operation shocked official entities. However, silence prevailed in relevant senior officials' offices, military institutions, and security forces, while 'sovereignty advocates' remained quiet, awaiting investigation results," the newspaper stated.

The Lebanese government expressed protest through Prime Minister Najib Mikati's statement, while Labor Minister Ali Hamiyeh explained that the detainee, Imad Amhaz, had taken a course at a civilian institute training him for commercial vessels and yachts navigation. The building owner stated that Amhaz had rented the apartment about a month ago.

Lebanese media sources reported that the force approached the shore using speedboats and military equipment, departing the same way with support from a larger vessel. The apartment search revealed ten SIM cards and foreign passports. While one security camera footage leaked, the rest was deleted.

Furthermore, Al-Akhbar quoted sources highlighting several points. They claimed there was "no military or security presence of Hezbollah" in the raid area. Secondly, the sources stated there was "no confirmation" that the detainee was a Hezbollah member.

According to the report, Amhaz had previously completed maritime courses two years ago and returned two months ago for additional training, while seeking to apply for a position in the Lebanese Navy's maritime force. The sources also raised questions about the role of the army and Lebanese security forces in failing to prevent the raid.

NYC Infested With Over 3 Million Rats But Go after one single rat ...a Family Pet

 




 The owner of P’nut the Squirrel gave a tearful statement on TikTok, Saturday about the tiny creature’s death at the hands of New York State officials.

Mark Longo, joined by his wife, sobbed through his prepared remarks on the killing of his beloved best friend.

“I’m angry, I’m sad, I’m disgusted,” Longo said while choking back his emotions in a clip of a TikTok live.
“We fight and work everyday to pay our state taxes and they turn around and they do this to a family,” Longo said.

New York State and the Department of Environmental Conservation have faced mass public blowback for their actions.

Many of the DEC’s social media posts have gotten  hundreds of comments from outraged supporters of P’nut the Squirrel.

The animal rescuer also thanked his fans and the general public for “unbelievable support.” A GoFundMe set up by Longo in P’nut’s honor has raised over $73,000.

The couple also say that they are inundated with warm messages from supporters.

Longo also said that he will continue to post photos and content of P’nut “in his best days.”

Longo told The Post that he felt like a “terrorist” when state authorities came into his home on Wednesday.

Agents from the DEC went through the Pine City residence for five hours — making Longo and his wife wait outside the entire time — after obtaining a warrant to search the premises.

Longo, 34, said he and his wife weren’t even allowed to use their own bathrooms during the invasive raid without a police escort — “who checked the back of the toilet to see if I was hiding anything there.”

The warrant stemmed from anonymous complaints of an animal that is a known vector for rabies, namely, Fred the raccoon.

On Friday, the DEC announced that it had euthanized both P’nut and Fred to test them for rabies.

The department claimed in a statement Thursday that P’nut, who was notably friendly and docile through the course of his public facing life, had bitten an agent and needed to be tested for rabies.

Longo has expressed skepticism about this claim.

“I watched everybody put gloves on before they entered my house. They had gloves that you get an eagle to land on,” he told The Post.

He is demanding an investigation into the department’s rationale and actions and is filing a motion to get the medical records of the officials in his house to see if they actually test positive for the very rare disease.

Israel missed its chance to strike Iran's nuclear sites John Bolton


 John Bolton, former United States National Security Advisor wrote in an op-ed in the New York Post, claiming that, "Israel lost a perfect opportunity to cripple Iran’s nuclear-weapons program during its strike against Iran this week."

The targets actually selected, air defense and missile-production facilities, were entirely legitimate. Undoubtedly, both Iran’s defensive and offensive capabilities suffered significant damage.

"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government did not strike Iran’s gravest threat: the existential danger of nuclear holocaust against Israel. And the mullahs’ nuclear aspirations — including the threat of Tehran transferring nuclear devices to international terrorist groups — also pose grave dangers to the United States, Gulf Arab countries and many others," he explained.

Bolton blames the decision on US pressure and noted that no matter the results of the impending elections, Israel may not find any increased sympathy from the Oval Office. Vice-President Kamala Harris is likely to be no more friendly than President Joe Biden, and with the votes cast, Biden himself may decide to act against Israel in the remainder of his term.

As for Donald Trump, Bolton wrote, "Donald Trump’s stance is murky. To those who think Trump will support Israel as he did in his first term, I say simply: think again. Trump’s dislike of Netanyahu is palpable, and, constitutionally barred from winning another term, the importance of US electoral politics to Trump will be much less than before. Trump came within an eyelash of meeting with Javad Zarif, Iran’s former foreign minister, in 2019. He could easily do so in a second term, always in search of a deal, any deal he believes makes him look good."

He concludes that Israel's best target is Iranian nuclear infrastructure. Bolton notes that it constitutes both a military target and a symbol of the regime, making striking it a "conclusive blow" to public support of the regime amongst Iranians. Additionally, and more importantly in terms of reducing international pressure, it does not affect the global fuel market, a significant concern for many of Israel's allies.

"The votes in the USA will have been cast - but Tehran still has a vote to cast as well. Ultimately, the choice will be Israel's," he notes.

Shneur Zalman Cohen from Yitzhar fell in battle in Gaza


 The Samaria Regional Council on Saturday night announced that Shneur Zalman Cohen, a resident of Yitzhar, fell in battle in Gaza.

Cohen, 20, is survived by his parents, Ze'ev and Dina, and eight siblings. Raised in Yitzhar, he served in the Givati Brigade, and studied in the Mitzpeh Yitzhar yeshiva. His family, Chabad-Lubavitch hasidim, are among the most veteran families in the town.

He is the 25th resident of the Samaria Regional Council to fall in the war. The Cohen family was supported over Shabbat (the Sabbath) by professional teams from the Council and the town.

Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan mourned, "Shneur was a person with inner grace which shined outward. He learned Torah, and he was also a talented fighter. Before he enlisted, he volunteered in the regional defense. He was raised by a family of true pioneers, Dina and Ze'ev Cohen, who moved - at the height of the Oslo war - the Second Intifada - to live in Sa-Nur and strengthen the towns of northern Samaria. They are dedicated to all of the town's needs. Since October 7, his father has been serving in the reserves, in the regional defense of Samaria."

"The Samaria Regional Council will support the family with everything it needs. The entire Samaria family is mourning and embraces the Cohen family."

"I have known the family for over 20 years. We are sad, but we will never break. We will continue to support the IDF, we will continue the settlements. We are very pained, we are sad and hurting. But we swear: We will never break! We will support the IDF and we will give strength to the security forces and the State of Israel - forever. We will support the settlements even more - in Yitzhar and throughout all of Judea and Samaria, the Gaza border area, and the north. We will support the military and civilian victory, and through the bravery of these holy ones - we will win."
