Four Gerer Chassidim Arrested for Entering Lebanon ..Seems Like Ger Want to Expand North!

 

This is not the first time Ger tried infiltrating Lebanon. Two weeks ago 5 Gerer Chassidim from Arad were caught trying to cross the border,  it seems like the Gerrer Rebbe wants to make sure that Rav Shaul Alter doesn't get there first! 

Rumor has it that Chabad had an eye on Lebanon, and the Gerer Rebbe sent his 

sheluchim" to sabotage Chabad! 

Four Israeli civilians who crossed into Lebanon illegally have been detained, according to police.

The IDF reported their detention inside Lebanese territory, prompting police intervention. The individuals, from Ashdod, Beit Shemesh, and Hatzor Haglilit, were transferred to police custody for questioning.

Police state that the suspects are being interrogated, and the investigation’s findings will determine the next steps in their legal process.

Crossing the border illegally carries a maximum penalty of up to four years in prison, authorities note.

IDF Slowly picking off Houthi Infrastructure

 

The Houthis now realize, Israel will start picking off all their infrastructure, 

Their power plant this morning after IDF jets visited.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke for the first time on Thursday about the airstrike overnight on Houthi targets in Yemen.

According to Netanyahu, "We did this in response to the Houthis' repetitive attacks on civilian targets in Israel. Last night, they attacked a school in Ramat Gan.

"They don't attack just us, they attack the entire world. They attack the international shipping and trade routes. So when Israel operates against the Houthis, it works for the entire international community. The Americans understand this well, and so do many others."

He further stated: "After Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Assad regime in Syria, the Houthis are almost the only arm that the Iranian axis of evil has left. They are learning and they will learn that those who hurt Israel - pay a very heavy price."

The main objective of the IDF airstrikes was to shut down all three ports controlled by the Houthis.

The Air Force attacked targets in the port of Hodeidah and the capital Sana'a, approximately 2,000 km from Israel. The Houthis have launched about 200 ballistic missiles and 170 drones towards Israel since the war began. Most were intercepted, but some managed to penetrate Israeli airspace. In July, a drone from Yemen caused the death of Evgeny Freder in Tel Aviv.

The first wave of the attack began at 3:15 AM in the coastal area of Yemen, with the second following at 4:30 AM in Sana'a. Fourteen fighter jets, covering more than 1,700 km, participated, targeting the ports of Ras Issa, Hodeidah, and the Al-Salif port. In total, eight tugboats were attacked. In Sana'a, fuel tanks, oil, and a power station were targeted.

Appeals court disqualifies Fani Willis from Trump Georgia case

A Georgia appellate court Thursday disqualified Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and removed her from prosecuting Donald Trump and co-defendants in a case she brought in relation to the efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

The decision is likely to cripple the case and bring a halt to the efforts to try Trump and his allies for their efforts to overturn his loss. Federal prosecutors have already dropped other criminal cases related to the 2020 election in the wake of Trump winning the 2024 election.

"After carefully considering the trial court’s findings in its order, we conclude that it erred by failing to disqualify DA Willis and her office," the court said, referring to an earlier ruling that allowed Willis to remain on the case. Willis had been under scrutiny over her relationship with a special prosecutor on the case, Nathan Wade.

The court said that the previous ruling by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAffee, who allowed Willis to remain on the case as long as Wade left it, did not prevent the "appearance of impropriety."

"The remedy crafted by the trial court to prevent an ongoing appearance of impropriety did nothing to address the appearance of impropriety that existed at times when DA Willis was exercising her broad pretrial discretion about who to prosecute and what charges to bring," the court said. "While we recognize that an appearance of impropriety generally is not enough to support disqualification, this is the rare case in which disqualification is mandated and no other remedy will suffice to restore public confidence in the integrity of these proceedings."

Israel’s hard-won tech can solve New Jersey drones mystery — and protect US skies

 

The Issue: The government’s opaque response to mysterious drones appearing across the country.

There has been a ton of media coverage of the drones across the country, yet it doesn’t seem like we are getting any answers or insight into what is going on (“Trump has a drone to pick,” Dec. 17).

I’m just wondering what’s happening behind this media coverage.

With the current administration doing everything possible to disrupt the smooth transition of power to the incoming Trump administration, I’m worried they are going to try something extremely detrimental to our country and our incoming president.

Apparently, there is no problem with drones the size of cars flying over the home of President-elect Donald Trump and military bases in New Jersey, but there would be an emergency response if a kid tried flying a kite on Pennsylvania Avenue.

President Biden’s response is to send Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas out there to reassure American citizens. Well, it’s not working.

Mayorkas says that aircraft are commonly mistaken for drones, and not to worry.

Phew!

I am so relieved about his input regarding invaders in air space, especially considering his outstanding record regarding other invaders.

Mayorkas is gaslighting us again.

Drones the size of small automobiles hover over our cities, yet he asserts nothing is unusual about these airspace incursions.

“Everything is fine”: That’s the same gaslighting he espoused about the Chinese spy balloon that flew over the United States for over a week in February earlier this year.

He also told the American people that the border was secure, and how did that turn out?

Mayorkas’ gaslighting tactics never stop.

South Florida sees dozens of luxury high-rise buildings start to sink

Miami’s barrier islands are home to many tall luxury buildings, and, according to a study recently published in Earth and Space Science, about three dozen are sinking.

Thirty-five luxury condos and hotels across Florida’s Sunny Isles Beach, Surfside, Miami Beach and Bal Harbour have faced subsidence in the past handful of years, the study found.

It was authored by researchers from the University of Miami, Florida Atlantic University, University of Houston, University of Hanover in Germany, GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences and California Institute of Technology. 

It involved reviewing Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar data. 

The sinking of the high-rises amounted to 2-8 centimeters over a multiyear span running 2016 through 2023, according to the researchers.

High-rises expect to see “up to several tens of centimeters” of settlement “during and immediately after construction,” the University of Miami Rosenstiel School said in a Friday post on its website.

Builders constructed a “majority” of the affected condos and hotels after 2014, according to the study.

“We found that subsidence in most high-rises slows down over time, but in some cases, it continues at a steady rate. This suggests that subsidence could persist for an extended period,” senior author Falk Amelung was quoted as saying. 

The study authors had some theories about what was behind the subsidence, based on their research. 

The sinking “is primarily due to the gradual reconfiguration of the sand grains into a denser packing within sandy layers interbedded in the limestone” in the area, the study said. 

The researchers hypothesized a link between construction-related vibrations or groundwater flow and the sinking, according to the study. Other things like daily tidal flow and stormwater injection could also have factored into the phenomenon. 

“The discovery of the extent of subsidence hotspots along the South Florida coastline was unexpected. The study underscores the need for ongoing monitoring and a deeper understanding of the long-term implications for these structures,” lead author Farzaneh Aziz Zanjani said. 

The broader Miami-Dade County had a population of nearly 2.7 million people as of July 2023, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

More than 27.2 million people visited the area last year, per the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau.

A Quarter of Released Hostages Suffer From Stockholm Syndrome

 

A quarter of the hostages released from captivity in the Gaza Strip suffer from Stockholm syndrome, Kan News reported last week.

Stockholm syndrome is manifested by the victim’s identification with their captors as a survival mechanism and even in the development of positive feelings towards them.

The data is from a study conducted by Prof. Gil Zaltzman, the director of the Geha Mental Health Center in Petach Tikvah and chairman of the Health Ministry’s suicide prevention program.

The researchers analyzed the medical data of 102 released hostages and presented their conclusions at a conference of the Israel National Institute For Health Policy Research regarding the treatment of additional released hostages in the future.

According to Prof. Zaltsman, released hostages spoke positively about their captors after returning to Israel, and in interviews with professionals, some of them referred to their captors as “my guards.”

The phenomenon is difficult to hear for both therapists and family members.

According to the data, there is a higher percentage of women than men who suffer from the syndrome.

The study also found that Israeli citizens suffered from the syndrome at a higher rate than foreign citizens, and the likelihood of developing the syndrome increases with the amount of time spent in captivity.
