"As a communist I don’t believe in heaven or the Bible but as a scientist I now believe in hell," said Dr. Azzacove. "Needless to say we were shocked to make such a discovery. But we know what we saw and we know what we heard. And we are absolutely convinced that we drilled through the gates of hell!"Dr. Azzacove continued, ". . .the drill suddenly began to rotate wildly, indicating that we had reached a large empty pocket or cavern. Temperature sensors showed a dramatic increase in heat to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit.""We lowered a microphone, designed to detect the sounds of plate movements down the shaft. But instead of plate movements we heard a human voice screaming in pain! At first we thought the sound was coming from our own equipment.""But when we made adjustments our worst suspicions were confirmed. The screams weren’t those of a single human, they were the screams of millions of humans!"The following is a recording that claims to be the actual sounds of hell from the above article.

Interview'The likelihood of success in toppling the regime is slim'War aimed at preventing Iranian nukes may actually lead to them, ex-IDF expert warns-Danny Citrinowicz, IDF’s former top Iran researcher, fears regime will try and break out toward a bomb in response to killing of its supreme leader, whose policy was to keep Tehran at threshold-By Jacob Magid-Today, 3:53 pm-MAR 13,26

Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei saw his nuclear strategy blow up in his face when an Israeli strike killed him on the first day of the war Jerusalem launched together with the United States against the Islamic Republic on February 28.For decades, Khamenei had a policy of developing the ability to build a nuclear weapon, while holding off on actually doing so.Khamenei’s threshold nuclear strategy was designed to pose a deterrent to US and Israeli attacks, while staying true to his 2005 religious ban on nuclear weapons.The scheme didn’t save Iran from crippling US sanctions imposed by both Democratic and Republican administrations, but until last year’s 12-Day War, Tehran avoided paying a kinetic price.Unmoved by the massive damage inflicted on his country’s three main nuclear sites last June, Khamenei directed his negotiators to continue insisting that Iran retain the right to enrich uranium in talks with the US last month.For US President Donald Trump, a deal with Iran offered the opportunity to block Tehran’s path to a nuclear weapon. But the sanctions relief Washington needed to give in exchange would have strengthened a destabilizing regime when it was at its weakest.Untrusting of Iran’s intentions, Trump authorized the launch of Operation Epic Fury, rather than allow his top aides to convene for another round of talks.The past two weeks have seen a relentless US-Israeli bombing campaign that has shaken the foundations of the entire region, with countries in the Gulf and beyond finding themselves the targets of much of Iran’s retaliation.While the US and Israel are hoping this war strips Iran of the capability to obtain a nuclear weapon — let alone the ability to use it — a former top Iran analyst for the Israel Defense Forces argues that it may have an opposite effect, as the preemptive US-Israeli strikes once and for all proved Khamenei’s threshold strategy ineffective.So now, Iran is left with two choices: abandon its nuclear program entirely or rush to a bomb.Danny Citrinowicz, who headed the Iran branch of the Israeli Military Intelligence’s Research and Analysis Division, maintains that a threatened Iran is more likely to choose option two, particularly given that it is now led by Khamenei’s son Mojtaba, who is determined to avenge the deaths of his family members killed along with his father in the war’s opening strike.Regime change would solve this most fateful of crises, and while Israel has been unambiguous about that being a primary goal, the US has stopped short of following suit. Trump has said he would like to pick Iran’s next leader and has urged the Iranian people to rise up against the regime once the bombing stops, but he is also insisting that the war will soon wrap up.“The likelihood of success in toppling the regime is slim, and by taking kinetic action, you’re pushing the Iranians to cross the Rubicon on the nuclear file,” Citrinowicz said in an interview this week with The Times of Israel.“This is what I’m afraid of — that this war will not prevent Iran from getting a bomb, but actually accelerate its plans to do so,” he added.In the lengthy interview, Citrinowicz explained why each side’s misunderstanding of the other doomed the nuclear talks to fail. He also stressed the importance and difficulty of recovering Iran’s stockpiles of highly enriched uranium now that the war is being waged.The former IDF analyst cautioned against assumptions that Trump will be able to unilaterally declare victory to end the conflict, while suggesting that further military achievement will not translate to an improvement in Israel’s strategic position in the region.‘Dialogue of the deaf’Citrinowicz characterized the February negotiations that preceded the war as a “dialogue of the deaf,” with the US convinced that Iran would capitulate completely if pressured enough.While Iran, in the talks, continued to insist on maintaining the right to enrich uranium, mediating Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi said Tehran had agreed not to stockpile the uranium it was enriching.Related: He led IDF intel gathering on Iran, was ignored and fears Israel is now paying price-“That was an important development because it meant that Iran was only seeking to maintain its enrichment project as a means of saving face,” maintained Citrinowicz, who is currently a senior fellow at the Tel Aviv-based Institute for National Security Studies.“If you wanted to prevent Iran from building a bomb, and that is really what the Iranians have offered, then this kind of an agreement wasn’t a bad option,” he said, noting that it would also include an inspections regime, so nothing would have come down to simply trusting the Islamic Republic.“The problem is that an agreement prevents the Iranians from reaching a bomb, but strengthens the regime, while [a military strike] weakens the regime, but strengthens its [resolve] to reach a bomb,” Citrinowicz said, suggesting that the US effectively chose the latter option.Asked if a way could be found around that dilemma, the INSS scholar acknowledged the difficulty in doing so when trust between the sides is so low.An agreement prevents Iranians from reaching a bomb, but strengthens the regime,” Citrinowicz said. A strike “weakens the regime, but strengthens its [resolve] to reach a bomb.“In the Iranian view, they agreed to negotiate twice, and both times the US and Israel attacked. So I don’t think we’ll see the Omani-mediated process being discussed anytime soon,” Citrinowicz said, referring to the 2025 US-Iranian talks that preceded the war in June.‘Victory’ requires seizing highly enriched uranium-Citrinowicz speculated that Netanyahu will declare victory regardless of the outcome, recalling the premier’s claim after the 12-Day War just nine months ago that the blows struck to Iran’s missile and nuclear programs would “abide for generations.”“We now understand that there may have been achievements, but definitely not strategic ones,” argued Citrinowicz.“If the war ends tomorrow, we will again have operational achievements to point to, but they will be eroded in the future because this regime — if it remains, and I assume it will, unfortunately — will rebuild its nuclear capacities,” he said.But even the operational achievements would be limited, he cautioned, if they do not include the recovery of the 440 kilograms of highly enriched uranium that Iran is believed to be storing deep underground at the Isfahan site.“If the war is about preventing Iran from building a bomb and that 440 kilograms isn’t seized, then you definitely cannot speak of strategic gains,” Citrinowicz said, given that Tehran would still be left in control of uranium that has undergone most of the work needed to reach weapons-grade status.If the war is about preventing Iran from building a bomb and that 440 kilograms [of enriched uranium] isn’t seized, then you definitely cannot speak of strategic gains.The US and Israel have an undeniable military advantage over Iran, but recovering that uranium will take more than a small team of skilled commandos. A massive unit would likely be needed to first conquer the area surrounding the nuclear site to give American or Israeli soldiers time to reach the stockpile deep underground and load the steel cylinders onto a truck. Troops would have a hard time catching the Iranians off guard, given that Tehran knows that the highly enriched uranium is a target.While Netanyahu has claimed Israel knows where the material is located, there are also reports that Iran has dispersed it to several locations.Recovering the enriched uranium would indeed set Iran back from building a nuclear weapon, but Tehran still would be left with uranium enriched at lower levels, the know-how to enrich it further, and a potential newfound drive to rush toward a weapon, even if it takes longer to get there, Citrinowicz said.The determination not to cave under US and Israeli pressure was demonstrated by the election of Khamenei’s son Mojtaba as the next supreme leader on the eighth day of the war, even after Trump warned against such a decision.Citrinowicz maintained that Mojtaba would not have been chosen by the regime’s clerical Assembly of Experts — in an election reportedly orchestrated by Iran’s hardline Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — had his father not been killed. The elder Khamenei, Citrinowicz said, “was against” the idea of Mojtaba taking his place, “and a lot of people in the regime were against it as well.”“Iran is not a monarchy. But when you kill [Ali] and when President Trump threatens [against picking Mojtaba], then you’re pressuring those people who want to show defiance toward the US to elect him,” he said.Citrinowicz suggested that Israel may have been better off with the elder Khamenei still at the helm.“[Ali] Khamenei was a fierce adversary of Israel and the US, and I’m not shedding a tear over the fact that he’s gone. But he did have his advantages,” he said, arguing that Khamenei was easier to predict and had clear red lines.Ali Khamenei was committed to a weaponized enrichment program until 2003, when Iran agreed to halt the military track in favor of just a civilian one, amid fears of a strike by the US following its invasion of neighboring Iraq. After Trump abandoned the nuclear deal Washington signed with Tehran in 2015, Khamenei approved the acceleration of Iran’s enrichment to 60 percent purity, a level with no civilian application, while still stopping just short of weapons-grade.“We are now getting an ‘upgraded’ version of [Ali Khamenei] — someone who is extreme, someone who wants to avenge the deaths of his family members.”“I don’t know if Mojtaba will live to see the day after the war, and Iran will have a mountain to climb in terms of its domestic problems, regardless,” Citrinowicz said. “But [Ali] Khamenei was a balancer between the IRGC and the more moderate forces within the regime. Now we have someone who is controlled by the IRGC, and I think that will manifest in Iran’s nuclear strategy moving forward.”Citrinowicz rejected the idea that Iran would respond to the ongoing war by deciding to forgo its nuclear program completely. “The regime would see that as a capitulation and a betrayal of its legacy and of everything that Khamenei led in Iran.”While Israel or the US could well kill Mojtaba as they did his father, doing so would likely be more difficult in the middle of a war, with the new supreme leader yet to show his face.Regardless, Trump should not expect developments in Iran to unfold as they did in Venezuela, Citrinowicz noted.“There is no Delcy Rodriguez in Iran,” he said, referring to the Venezuelan vice president who has agreed to work with the Trump administration after the US captured her country’s leader Nicolás Maduro. “With this [Iranian] regime, working with the US gets you shot, especially after the killing of Khamenei.”This is why ending the war will be so problematic, he went on, as there is no way to ensure the current Iranian regime won’t return to enriching uranium.“You can threaten to come back and bomb them again if necessary, but you’ll have to bring the aircraft carriers back, and it’s unclear whether you’d have the same willingness from both countries to act again,” Citrinowicz argued. “So Iran will wait for a certain number of months, pull out their uranium and begin enriching again.”Is Israel actually interested in regime change? It is likely these issues that have led Israel to conclude that the only solution is to topple the regime entirely, but Citrinowicz expressed heavy skepticism that doing so is possible.It would require the Iranian people to return to the streets, knowing that those who did so before them were mowed down in their tens of thousands during the weeks leading up to the war. Even if the protesters do come out after the bombing stops, “the regime will still be in the fight for its life. [Iranian forces will be] obligated to Mojtaba and will be very violent toward anyone who takes to the streets,” Citrinowicz asserted.And while there is widespread domestic opposition to the regime, it is unclear whether those dissidents would be willing to follow the orders of the countries currently attacking Iran, telling them that the time has come for them to oust the Islamic Republic from within.Citrinowicz contended that Israel would have been better served by allowing “nature to take its course,” arguing that another wave of protests would have eventually gathered force since the regime remains fundamentally incapable of providing for its citizens.He also called into question whether Israel is genuinely committed to bringing down the Islamic Republic, as opposed to less drastically removing the current iteration of the regime, arguing that if it were, it would not have targeted Iran’s fuel facilities in Tehran, inflicting harm that extends beyond the ruling elite.“For Netanyahu, the main issue is preventing Iran from being a strategic threat to the state of Israel, and if, to achieve that, you need to have chaos or civil war in Iran, so be it. He sees anything as better than the current [version of the] regime,” Citrinowicz maintained. “Netanyahu is not planning on continuing the war until [the son of Iran’s last shah Reza] Pahlavi has been installed to take care of the Iranian people.”For Netanyahu, the main issue is preventing Iran from being a strategic threat to the state of Israel, and if, in order to achieve that, you need to have chaos or civil war in Iran, so be it.Who gets the last word? Citrinowicz acknowledged that it is difficult to predict how the war will unfold, but he said the most likely scenario — absent another dramatic development — would be for Trump to try and unilaterally declare victory.But while the US would be able to say it significantly degraded Iran’s nuclear and missile capacity, that’s not the same as irreversibly destroying those two programs.“You can’t really call this a war of winners,” Citrinowicz maintained.The Iran expert also expressed significant skepticism that Tehran and its proxies would immediately agree to a ceasefire, as they did when Trump declared one nine months ago.“The Iranians understand that nothing good comes out of a unilateral ceasefire. That’s what they had in June. They want different conditions: [They’ll seek] a non-aggression pact or [warn otherwise that] they’ll continue firing, or that their proxies will continue launching missiles, or that they can carry out terror attacks,” Citrinowicz said.“It’s not that the Iranians want an endless war. But they want to create a new reality that will prevent Israel and the US from attacking them every eight months,” he clarified.“We should think long and hard about whether we can mow the lawn in Iran every few months, given all the prices we are paying. Maybe it’s time to think about a different solution, and not only the kinetic one,” Citrinowicz argued.Asked whether that makes him a pacifist, he responded, “Go and topple the regime. I’m in favor of the idea [in theory]. It would be a positive earthquake for the region.”“It won’t solve Israel’s problems in terms of the Palestinian issue or normalization with its neighbors, but it would definitely allow the region to prosper. I just don’t think the chances for success are very high,” Citrinowicz explained.“Changing the regime takes time. We can find someone from the opposition, we can arm the opposition, we can do many things, but I’m not sure they will help in the foreseeable future,” he said. “We came to this war with no strategic plan whatsoever.”

Analysis-With Iran war exit elusive, Trump aides vie to affect the outcome-US president’s shifting statements are result of tug-of-war in his administration, sources say, as officials weigh economic, political costs of continued strikes By Nandita Bose, Matt Spetalnick and Humeyra Pamuk Today, 2:59 pm-MAR 13,26

WASHINGTON (Reuters) — A complex tug-of-war inside the White House is driving US President Donald Trump’s shifting public statements on the course of the Iran war, as aides debate when and how to declare victory even as the conflict spreads across the Middle East.Some officials and advisers are warning Trump that surging gasoline prices could exact a political cost from the US-Israeli attacks on Iran, while some hawks are pressing the president to maintain the offensive against the Islamic Republic, according to interviews with a Trump adviser and others close to the deliberations.Their observations to Reuters offer a previously unreported glimpse inside White House decision-making as it adjusts its approach to the biggest US military operation since the 2003 Iraq war.The behind-the-scenes maneuvering underscores the high stakes Trump, who returned to office last year promising to avoid “stupid” military interventions, faces nearly two weeks after plunging the nation into a war that has rattled global financial markets and disrupted the international oil trade.The jockeying for Trump’s ear is a feature of his presidency, but this time the consequences are a matter of war and peace in one of the world’s most volatile and economically critical regions.Shifting from the sweeping goals he framed in launching the war on February 28, Trump in recent days has emphasized that he views the conflict as a limited campaign whose objectives have mostly been met.But the message remains unclear to many, including the energy markets, which have lurched in both directions in response to Trump’s statements.He told a campaign-style rally in Kentucky on Wednesday that “we won” the war, then abruptly pivoted: “We don’t want to leave early, do we? We’ve got to finish the job.”Economic advisers and officials, including those from the US Treasury Department and National Economic Council, have warned Trump that an oil shock and rising gasoline prices could quickly erode domestic support for the war, said the adviser and two others close to the deliberations, speaking on the condition of anonymity to disclose internal discussions.Political advisers, including Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and deputy chief James Blair, are making similar arguments, focusing on the political fallout from higher gas prices and urging Trump to define victory narrowly and signal the operation is limited and nearly finished, the sources said.Pushing in the other direction are hawkish voices urging Trump to sustain military pressure on Iran, including Republican lawmakers such as US Senators Lindsey Graham and Tom Cotton, and media commentators such as Mark Levin, according to people familiar with the matter.They argue the US must prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and respond forcefully to attacks on American troops and shipping.A third force comes from Trump’s populist base and figures such as strategist Steve Bannon and far-right, anti-Israel television personality Tucker Carlson, who have been pressing him and his top aides to avoid getting dragged into another prolonged Middle East conflict.“He is allowing the hawks to believe the campaign continues, wants markets to believe the war might end soon and his base to believe escalation will be limited,” the Trump adviser said.Asked for comment, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement: “This story is based on gossip and speculation from anonymous sources who aren’t even in the room for any discussions with President Trump.“The President is known for being a good listener and seeking the opinions of many people, but ultimately everyone knows he’s the final decision maker and his own best messenger,” she said. “The President’s entire team is focused on ensuring the objectives of Operation Epic Fury are fully achieved.”Other people named for their roles in the deliberations did not immediately respond to Reuters’ questions.In taking America to war, Trump offered little explanation, and the administration’s stated war aims have ranged from thwarting an imminent attack by Iran to crippling its nuclear program to replacing its government.As he seeks an exit from an unpopular conflict, Trump is trying to juggle competing narratives that some critics say have complicated an already difficult situation, with Iran defiant despite the devastating US-Israeli air assault.Top political aides and economic advisers, whose warnings before the war of the potential economic shock were largely ignored, appear to have played a major role in pushing Trump’s efforts this week to reassure skittish markets and contain rising oil and gas prices.His public shift to downplaying the war’s impact, describing it as a “short-term excursion,” and his insistence that gas price hikes would be short-lived appeared aimed at calming fears of an open-ended conflict.Some top aides have advised him to work toward a conclusion to the conflict that he can call a triumph, at least militarily, the sources said, even if much of the Iranian leadership survives, along with remnants of a nuclear program that the campaign was meant to target.Wave after wave of US and Israeli air strikes have killed a number of top Iranian leaders, devastated its ballistic missile arsenal, sunk much of its navy and degraded its ability to support terror proxies around the Middle East.But the military achievements have been seriously undercut by Iran’s stepped-up attacks on oil tankers and transport facilities in the Gulf, driving up oil prices.Trump has said he will decide when to end the campaign. He and his aides say they are far ahead of the four- to six-week timeframe Trump initially announced.The shifting reasons for launching the conflict, which has spilled over into more than half a dozen other countries, have only made it more difficult to predict what comes next.For their part, Iran’s rulers will claim victory, analysts say, for simply surviving the US-Israeli offensive, especially after demonstrating their ability to fight back and inflict damage on Israel, the US and its allies.Critical to the war’s final trajectory will be the Strait of Hormuz. A fifth of the world’s oil shipments, which normally traverse the narrow waterway, have come to a near-standstill. Iran in recent days has struck tankers in Iraqi waters and other ships near the strait, and the new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei, vowed to keep it shut in a recent statement attributed to him.If Iran’s stranglehold on the waterway pushes US gas prices high enough, that could increase political pressure on Trump to end the military campaign to help his Republican Party, which is defending narrow majorities in Congress in November’s midterm elections.Trump has recently refrained from pushing the idea that the war seeks to topple the government in Tehran. US intelligence indicates that Iran’s leadership is not at risk of collapse anytime soon, Reuters reported on Wednesday.At least some of the confusion over the war’s trajectory appears rooted in the quick US military success in Venezuela.Since the start of the war, some aides have struggled to convince Trump that the Iran campaign was unlikely to unfold in the same way as the January 3 Venezuela raid that captured its president, Nicolas Maduro, according to another source familiar with the administration’s thinking.That operation opened the way for Trump to coerce former Maduro loyalists into giving him considerable sway over the country’s vast oil reserves – without requiring extended US military action.Iran, by contrast, has proved a much tougher, better-armed foe with an entrenched clerical and security establishment.Experts have rejected claims by Trump aides that Iran had been within weeks of being able to produce a nuclear weapon, despite the president’s insistence in June that US-Israeli strikes had “obliterated” its nuclear program during the war that month.Most of Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium is believed to have been buried by the June strikes, meaning the material potentially could be retrieved and purified to bomb grade.If the war drags on, American casualties mount and the economic costs multiply, some analysts say it could erode backing from Trump’s political base. But despite criticism from some supporters opposed to military interventions, members of his “Make America Great Again” movement have so far largely stayed with him on Iran.“The MAGA base is going to give the president wiggle room,” said Republican strategist Ford O’Connell.

Explosion outside Rotterdam synagogue sparks fire, damages building; 4 arrested-No injuries reported; police say suspects may have planned attack on second Jewish house of worship; synagogue chair decries lack of action over rising antisemitism By AFP and ToI Staff Today, 4:32 pm-MAR 13,26

Dutch police said Friday they had arrested four young men on suspicion of setting off an explosion outside a synagogue in Rotterdam that caused a brief blaze and damage to the building.After the blast, police monitored other synagogues as a precaution and stopped a vehicle near another building driven by someone matching the description of one of the suspects.“It is not yet clear whether the suspects planned to detonate an explosive or set fire to another synagogue as well,” police said in a statement.Two men were aged 19, one 18, and the fourth was 17 years old, said police, without specifying any potential motive.Authorities said they were launching a “large-scale investigation into this serious incident” and appealed for witnesses to come forward.An unverified video showing an explosion near a building resembling the targeted synagogue circulated on social media on Friday, which police said they were examining as part of their probe.Justice Minister David van Weel said the attack was “terrible news.”“We will not tolerate antisemitism, intimidation, and violence. Local authorities are ensuring the safety of synagogues,” he wrote on X.The minister voiced solidarity with the Dutch Jewish community, adding: “They must feel safe in the Netherlands.”Rotterdam city mayor Carola Schouten said the attack had caused “a great deal of anxiety among our Jewish fellow citizens.”There was no place for antisemitism, intimidation, violence, or hatred toward religious communities in her city, added Schouten.The synagogue’s chairman, Chris den Hoedt, told public broadcaster NOS that the attack was “shocking” but came amid warnings of a lack of action over rising antisemitism.“This is material damage,” he said, showing the scorched doors of the building.“But the emotional damage our community feels is bigger and longer-lasting. We can repair this (the door), but not the rest,” he added.“It is the prelude to what we have been seeing for two years: rising antisemitism. And the fact that little is being done about it,” he said.On Monday, an explosion shook a synagogue in the Belgian city of Liege before dawn, causing some damage but no injuries.On Thursday, an unidentified assailant rammed his car into a synagogue that had a preschool on the premises, on the outskirts of Detroit, Michigan, sparking a blaze. Security guards opened fire on the attacker, who was killed in the assault.Antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiments have skyrocketed worldwide since the start of the war sparked by the devastating Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

Michigan synagogue attacker was US-Lebanese citizen with relatives said killed in IDF strike-Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, 41, was naturalized US citizen who worked in restaurant; four family members reportedly killed in Israeli airstrike amid fighting with Hezbollah By Leon Kraiem and Agencies Today, 3:41 pm-MAR 13,26

The armed man who rammed his truck into a Reform synagogue in Michigan on Thursday has been identified as 41-year-old Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, a naturalized citizen born in Lebanon, US federal officials said Friday.Multiple reports, as well as a statement from the mayor of Dearborn Heights, who said he was a resident, said that several of Ghazali’s Lebanese relatives were killed in an Israeli airstrike recently, amid the renewed fighting between Israel and the Hezbollah terror group.Security guards opened fire on Ghazali after he smashed a truck through the doors of the Temple Israel synagogue and preschool in West Bloomfield, near Detroit.According to the US Department of Homeland Security, Ghazali came to the United States in 2011 on an IR1 immigrant visa, given to spouses of US citizens, and was granted US citizenship himself in 2016.Ghazali worked at a popular restaurant in Dearborn Heights, Hamido, but had been absent in recent weeks, fellow employees told The New York Times. Coworkers and a neighbor praised him to the Detroit Free Press, with the neighbor saying she had planned to bring him flowers because his brother had died.He was divorced and had at least one child, according to The Detroit News, which cited court records. The newspaper reported, citing two people familiar with the investigation, that at least four of Ghazali’s relatives, including a sibling, “had been killed days earlier in a military strike in Lebanon.”Dearborn Heights Mayor Mo Baydoun said in a statement that this month, “he lost several members of his own family, including his niece and nephew, in an Israeli attack on their home in Lebanon.”At a news conference Thursday evening, Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard said no synagogue staff or children were hurt in the attack, but 30 law enforcement officers were “taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation” after the evacuation efforts. Earlier, he said one security guard was injured by the assailant’s truck.The FBI will investigate the incident “as a targeted act of violence against the Jewish community,” Jennifer Runyan, special agent in charge of the federal agency’s Detroit field office, told reporters Thursday. Law enforcement has not yet publicly detailed a motive.CBS News cited a source in Michigan’s Lebanese-American community who said that in the wake of the strike, Ghazali stopped working and spent his time alone at home. According to the source, who has long known Ghazali, the strike killed two of Ghazali’s brothers and two of their children, and severely wounded one of his sisters.The same source said that prior to the synagogue attack, Ghazali called his ex-wife. The conversation reportedly left her concerned, and she called the police afterward.According to the source quoted by CBS, the strike in Lebanon took place roughly 10 days before Ghazali carried out the synagogue attack, which would place the event on March 3 or 4.Israel has been carrying out extensive airstrikes targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the Israel Defense Forces has pushed further into the south of the country on the ground, after the Iran-backed terror group started firing hundreds of rockets and drones at Israel on March 2, in response to US-Israeli attacks on Iran.Mayor condemns attack, does not mention antisemitism-In his statement posted to social media late Thursday, Dearborn Heights’s Baydoun wrote: “Earlier today, we learned that the individual responsible for the incident that took place at Temple Israel Synagogue in West Bloomfield was a resident of Dearborn Heights. He died at the scene.”“No matter where violence occurs, whether in West Bloomfield or anywhere around in the world, harm against innocent people is something we must all stand firmly against,” he said, adding: “The tensions we see across the world too often find their way into our own neighborhoods, reminding us how deeply connected our shared safety is.”Baydoun urged residents to “stay aware and vigilant, especially as we gather during these sacred final days of Ramadan,” the Muslim holy month.It was the second statement issued by the mayor since the attack. Both made reference to houses of worship, including “the impacted congregation,” and noted that the event took place at a synagogue. Neither statement made any explicit reference to antisemitism.According to a report in local Detroit media from 2024, Baydoun himself also lost relatives — a family of five — in Lebanon as a result of an Israeli airstrike during the previous round of Israel-Hezbollah fighting, which started when the terror group began attacking Israel on October 8, 2023.  That round ended with a ceasefire agreement in November 2024.

US defends Israel against South Africa’s allegation of genocide in top UN court-US legal adviser: Finding against Israel would be ‘radical’; Iceland, Netherlands also intervene in case, with Dutch urging court to probe ‘deliberate withholding’ of aid By AP and ToI Staff Today, 12:23 pm-MAR 13,26

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — The United States will intervene in the genocide case against Israel brought at the United Nations’ highest court by South Africa, arguing that the accusations are false and warning that a ruling against Israel could undermine international law.Since late 2023, the International Court of Justice has been considering whether Israel’s military operation in Gaza, launched in response to the Hamas-led onslaught of October 7, 2023, amounts to genocide under a treaty drawn up after World War II.Israel, which was founded in the aftermath of the Holocaust, has vehemently denied the allegations, saying it makes efforts to protect non-combatants. It has accused Hamas of fighting from within civilian population centers and of using civilians as human shields.The war ended with a US-backed ceasefire that took effect in October, though clashes between Israel and Hamas still occur regularly. Gaza is effectively split between Israeli and Hamas control.In a filing obtained on Thursday by The Associated Press, the US says that the accusations are part of a “broader campaign” against Israel and the Jewish people, to justify or encourage terrorism against them.Any party to the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide can intervene to contribute its assessment of the legal questions in the case. In 2023, over 30 countries backed Ukraine in a separate case it brought against Russia.More than a dozen other countries have filed interventions in the Israel case, including Spain and Ireland. Many take a different view from that of the United States. Iceland and the Netherlands both said this week that they would intervene in the case.Judges start a hearing at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, Netherlands, January 12, 2024. The United Nations’ top court opened hearings Thursday into South Africa’s allegation that Israel’s war with Hamas amounts to genocide against Palestinians, a claim that Israel strongly denies. (AP/Patrick Post)-In its declaration of intervention, the Netherlands said: “The Court should take account of starvation or the deliberate withholding of humanitarian aid for the purpose of establishing specific intent, in particular when this occurs based on a concerted plan of a consistent pattern of conduct.”Israel halted the entry of aid into Gaza for 11 weeks in 2025, but has denied a plan to cause systematic starvation there and has highlighted its efforts to ensure a flow of humanitarian supplies to the Strip. It has accused Hamas of stealing humanitarian aid.The current ceasefire has led to more humanitarian aid and other supplies entering the enclave, though restrictions have been reimposed during the ongoing US and Israeli attacks against Iran.The US filing stresses that a finding of genocide requires a “specific intent” to commit the crime and cautions the court, which sits in The Hague, against “lowering the standard.”“Civilian casualties, even widespread civilian casualties, are not necessarily probative of genocidal intent, particularly when they occur in the context of an armed conflict involving urban combat,” the US argues in the filing.Reed Rubenstein, a legal adviser at the State Department who represents the US, said that a finding against Israel would be a “radical repudiation” of the court’s precedent.Such a decision would “feed the perception that the court is simply just one more tool in the ongoing pro-Hamas lawfare campaign” against Israel, Rubenstein told the AP.The ICJ has issued a series of orders concerning Israel’s conduct in Gaza since South Africa filed its case, including telling the country to do all it can to prevent death, destruction and any acts of genocide.In separate proceedings, the court has said that Israel must allow the UN aid agency in Gaza, known as UNRWA, to provide humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian territory. Israel has enacted laws banning UNRWA and has accused it of ties to Hamas, including alleging that some of its members took part in the October 7 attack.Separately, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister Yoav Gallant in 2024 in connection with the Gaza war. The ICC said there was reason to believe the pair used “starvation as a method of warfare” by restricting humanitarian aid and intentionally targeting civilians.The Trump administration responded by sanctioning ICC officials, including nine judges and top prosecutors. Israel also adamantly denies the charges.Trump: Mojtaba likely alive; 'deranged scumbags' should watch out-Woman wounded by shrapnel, dozens lightly hurt as Iranian missile hits northern town.

US military announces 4 killed in aircraft crash; IDF strikes 200 targets in Iran over past day, including underground weapons site; French soldier killed in Iraq, 2 dead in Oman By Emanuel Fabian,Agencies and Diana Bletter-Today, 11:46 am-MAR 13,26

An Iranian ballistic missile attack on the northern Israeli town of Zarzir moderately wounded a 34-year-old woman and lightly wounded dozens more in the early hours of Friday.The incident came as Iran continued to fire barrages at both Israel and neighboring Gulf countries, while Israel carried out hundreds of strikes on regime targets across the Islamic Republic, including on an underground weapons site, as the war that began with US-Israeli strikes on February 28 neared the two-week mark.The US military announced on Friday that four of its soldiers died when a refueling aircraft crashed over Iraq last night, bringing the US military death toll to 11. US President Donald Trump has sent mixed signals about how long the war will continue, warning on Friday that “deranged scumbags” should watch out.The war has shaken the world’s energy market as Iran has struck countries across the region and blocked the Strait of Hormuz, a key artery for the global oil supply.One day earlier, Iran’s new leader Mojtaba Khamenei ostensibly issued his first statement, but was not seen or heard. His father, former supreme leader Ali Khamenei, was killed in strikes on the war’s first day, and the younger Khamenei was reportedly injured. On Thursday, Trump said he believes Mojtaba is “probably” alive.The IDF said it was investigating the circumstances that led to the impact in Zarzir at around 2:30 a.m. on Friday.Home Front Command search and rescue soldiers were dispatched to the scene, where they conducted an assessment alongside rescue services and assisted with clearing the scene, the army said.According to the IDF’s initial findings, the missile may have been partially intercepted by air defenses, and the warhead remained entirely intact and ultimately crashed down on Zarzir and exploded.Nearly 60 people were wounded by the incident, almost all of them lightly due to broken glass or panic attacks. One 34-year-old woman was moderately wounded by shrapnel. She, along with a 17-year-old who was lightly hurt, were taken to a local hospital. Many of the wounded had been discharged by the late morning.Images from the scene showed a large crater and extensive damage to homes and cars following the direct impact. The strike blew out windows and damaged dozens of homes.The missile that struck Zarzir came as the Tehran-backed Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon has aimed constant missile fire at the north. Hezbollah entered the fray last week, launching missiles and drones at Israel. In response, Israel has conducted heavy strikes on the terror group and expanded its ground presence in Lebanon.There were no other reports of injuries as a direct result of Iran’s three ballistic missile attacks overnight and early Friday, which set off sirens in northern and southern Israel.The missile in the third attack was likely intercepted, according to initial military assessments. Sirens had sounded in the southernmost city of Eilat.The Health Ministry reported Friday that in the preceding 24 hours, 213 injured people had been taken to hospitals as a result of the conflict with Iran. Among those treated in hospitals, four were in moderate condition, and 196 were in good condition. Thirteen people had been treated for acute anxiety.The ministry did not give a breakdown of the causes of injuries, and some might have been sustained by people trying to reach shelter rather than as a direct result of missile fire from Iran or rocket fire from Lebanon.On Thursday evening, a 17-year-old girl was fatally run over by a car in Rehovot, paramedics said, reportedly while dashing across a street to seek shelter ahead of an Iranian missile attack.IDF strikes underground ballistic missile site in Shiraz-On Friday morning, the military said the Israeli Air Force had launched a fresh wave of “extensive” airstrikes in Tehran, targeting Iranian regime infrastructure sites. It also issued an “urgent warning” to Iranians in several areas in the Tehran region, ahead of planned airstrikes targeting the regime.Previous waves of Israeli airstrikes in Tehran, Shiraz, and Ahvaz on Thursday hit several Iranian military sites, including a subterranean ballistic missile manufacturing and storage site, the Israel Defense Forces said.The military said the underground site in Shiraz was used by Iran to manufacture and store ballistic missiles “which were set to be launched toward the State of Israel.”In Tehran, the IDF said it struck several sites belonging to Iran’s air defense array, including a “key base,” along with facilities used by Iran to manufacture various weapons, including air defense systems and ballistic missile components.In Ahvaz, the IDF said it struck several headquarters of various Iranian regime bodies, including the IRGC ground forces and Iran’s internal security forces. The military said dozens of Iranian soldiers were operating at the headquarters that were targeted.The military also said Friday morning that the IAF had struck over 200 targets in western and central Iran over the preceding twenty-four hours.Dozens of IAF aircraft dropped numerous bombs on the targets, the military added, attaching footage showing some of the strikes.Sirens heard at NATO base in Turkey hosting US troops-Amid the fighting, countries surrounding Iran reported continuing attacks by the Islamic Republic on targets within their territory.Sirens were heard early Friday morning at Turkey’s Incirlik airbase, a key NATO facility where US troops are stationed near the southeastern city of Adana, state news agency Anadolu reported.There was no immediate official comment on the incident, which took place four days after NATO air defenses shot down a ballistic missile in Turkish airspace that was fired from Iran, the second in five days.Several people posted mobile phone footage on social media of a glowing image flying through the sky, suggesting it could be a missile heading for the airbase, it said.NATO said it shot down a second ballistic missile fired from Iran on Monday, prompting a stern warning from Turkey to Tehran not to take “provocative steps.”Gulf states report ongoing attacks; two dead in OmanTwo people died after security forces intercepted a drone in northern Oman, state media says, without giving further details.Both victims in the incident at the Al Awahi industrial area were expatriates, the Oman News Agency says, adding that others were injured.A building at the Dubai International Financial Center also sustained damage on Friday after what authorities described as a “successful interception.” The Dubai Media Office did not elaborate on what had been intercepted, nor did it acknowledge the damage done to DIFC, an economic free zone for banks, capital traders and wealth managers, home to exclusive restaurants and nightclubs for the city’s elite.The United Arab Emirates’ air defenses have intercepted more than 1,500 Iranian drones and nearly 300 missiles during the current war.Saudi Arabia’s defense ministry said its own air defenses had downed 10 more drones headed toward the kingdom’s Eastern and Central Provinces, bringing the total to nearly 50 drones entering Saudi airspace over the span of a few hours.The overnight barrage represented a higher-than-usual number of aerial threats for the kingdom, which has seen sites including the US Embassy in Riyadh, oil infrastructure, and a military base hosting US troops targeted as the war has intensified.On Friday, the Saudi Defense Ministry said its forces intercepted a drone targeting Riyadh’s Diplomatic Quarter, housing foreign embassies.French soldier killed by drone attack in Iraqi Kurdistan-Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron announced early Friday that a French soldier was killed, the country’s first fatality in this war, in a drone attack in Iraq’s autonomous Kurdistan region.A member of the armed forces “died for France during an attack in the Erbil region of Iraq,” Macron wrote on X. He added that several other soldiers had been wounded in the incident, which the French military earlier said was a drone attack on troops carrying out a training exercise.Around the same time, the pro-Iranian Ashab al-Kahf group in Iraq posted a statement to its Telegram channel, warning that French interests “in Iraq and the region” will be “under targeting fire” after the arrival of a French aircraft carrier.Iran’s military, in a statement carried by state TV, also claimed that an allied group in Iraq had downed an American refueling aircraft and killed all its crew. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a loose alliance of Iran-backed factions, claimed to have struck the plane with a missile.An American KC-135 aerial refueling aircraft did crash in western Iraq. However, US Central Command, which is responsible for American forces in the Middle East, said in a statement Thursday that the crash “was not due to hostile fire or friendly fire.”At rally, IRGC threatens Iranians who would protest government-Israel’s strikes came just before rallies were to begin for the annual Quds Day on Friday, which Iran has been marking on the last Friday of Ramadan since its 1979 Islamic Revolution, and which sees annual anti-Israel demonstrations.In Iran, state television aired footage on Friday showing thousands of people participating in the Quds Day rallies, chanting “Death to Israel” and “Death to America” while carrying Iranian flags.Iran’s Revolutionary Guards warned on Friday that any new protests against the authorities would be met with a stronger response than in anti-regime protests in January, when activist groups say security forces killed as many as tens of thousands of people.“The evil enemy, failing to achieve its field battle goals, is once again pursuing the instillation of fear and street riots,” the Guards said in a statement broadcast on TV. The statement promised “a stronger blow than on January 8” in the event of new unrest.The rallies came almost a week after Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei, took over the helm of the Islamic Republic. The elder Khamenei was killed on the war’s first day.Trump: ‘Watch what happens’ to regime ‘scumbags’ todayTrump weighed in on the younger Khamenei’s status after the new supreme leader ostensibly issued his first statement since being appointed.Asked if he thinks Mojtaba Khamenei is alive, Trump said, “I think he probably is.”“I think he is damaged, but I think he’s probably alive in some form, you know,” Trump continued, speaking to the Brian Kilmeade Show on Fox News Radio. The interview was taped on Thursday to air Friday morning.Early Friday, Trump issued a new threat online, writing: “Watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today.”Trump made the post on his Truth Social website, saying that “Iran’s Navy is gone, their Air Force is no longer, missiles, drones and everything else are being decimated, and their leaders have been wiped from the face of the earth.”“They’ve been killing innocent people all over the world for 47 years, and now I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them,” Trump wrote. “What a great honor it is to do so!”Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Inside Story-With foreign airlines fleeing war, fares take off as local carriers cash in-Ticket prices for the coming weeks have already gone up by 15% in the past 10 days, as Israeli airlines look to profit off a dominant position during war yet again, says expert By Sharon Wrobel-Today, 11:27 am-MAR 13,26

An exodus of major foreign airlines from routes serving Israel due to the war with Iran has led to sky-high prices and rampant uncertainty for Israelis attempting to book Passover travel or plan for summer trips abroad.On Tuesday, British low-cost carrier easyJet said it will stay away from Ben-Gurion Airport until the fall, while other carriers have voided the route for the coming weeks. It’s unclear when they will return, if at all.Local carriers, which are the only airlines reliably flying in and out of Israel into the near future, are taking advantage of the cloudy horizon for air travel by charging customers exorbitant sums. That includes flagship carrier El Al, which has been repeatedly accused of price gouging during wartime since October 7, 2023.“Every day that we are at war means another foreign carrier is going to delay its return until it’s quiet in the skies over Israel,” Mark Feldman, CEO of Ziontours Jerusalem, told The Times of Israel.Feldman said carriers who have abandoned Ben Gurion Airport would seek to return when they could, but are dealing with the same uncertainty as everyone else over how much longer the war will last.“Most foreign carriers want to come back and fly to Israel as they don’t want to lose all of their revenue, since they have already booked and sold tickets,” he said.  “But we don’t know if the war is going to last three days or another three weeks.”Yet even if there were to be a ceasefire with Iran and quiet on the northern front with Hezbollah, many foreign carriers are likely to “step into the water cautiously,” with a return of limited flight services, Feldman cautioned.Just over two weeks before the beginning of the Passover break, visitors who are already booked to travel to and from Israel are, for now, left in limbo.“We have many customers booked for Passover, and they are worried and scared about whether they will be able to come,” said Feldman. “They have already bought flights, booked their hotel or Airbnb, and they are aware that if they cancel now, they are going to have to face huge cancellation fees.”Israel’s airspace has been shut to most commercial traffic since February 28, when joint attacks with the US on Iran began. In recent days, the airport has gradually reopened, but only for inbound flights operated by Israeli airlines El Al, Arkia, Israir, and Air Haifa to repatriate some of the 100,000 Israelis stuck abroad. El Al sold seats to the general public on its repatriation flights at a fixed price, though those have since sold out.The country’s main gateway has also partially reopened for a restricted service of outbound flights, but only by local carriers with no more than 100 passengers per flight.With no easy way out of the country, Israelis looking for R&R, or at least respite from the missile attacks and air raid sirens that have become a daily reality in the center and north, are planning vacations closer to home.“Over the past few days, we have been seeing a daily increase in bookings for vacations at hotels across Israel,” said Eshet Tours VP Shirley Cohen-Orkaby. “At a time when traveling abroad is not possible and the education system is closed, with studies already taking place remotely, Israelis prefer to get away on a short vacation in Eilat, the Dead Sea, and also in Jerusalem — areas where the number of sirens is significantly lower than in other parts of the country.”The majority of European and US carriers have suspended Tel Aviv services through March and into April, though the cancellations could be extended if the war drags on.Citing the military situation in the Middle East, Air Canada has suspended all flights to and from Tel Aviv through May 2. American Airlines has pushed back the resumption of flights to and from the country to April 23, while Delta has cancelled through March 23, and United Airlines through March 21.The Lufthansa group — which includes Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, and Eurowings — and ITA Airways have canceled all services to and from Ben Gurion through April 2.Other European airlines, such as British Airways, have extended suspensions until the end of March and French carrier Air France said the earliest it could return is March 16.Easyjet, which has repeatedly postponed a resumption of flight services since the last war with Iran in June, had been scheduled to start flying to and from London Luton, Amsterdam, and Milan Malpensa on March 29.But on Tuesday, the low-cost carrier said it was extending the cancellation until October.Rival Wizz Air, based in Hungary, has also postponed a resumption of flight services to at least March 29. The budget carrier had been poised to set up an operational aviation hub in Israel as early as April, boosting competition and bringing down sky-high fares for travelers.El Al has canceled all regular scheduled flights through March 21. It and other local carriers are charging higher prices than other airlines, banking that consumers will be willing to pay a premium to book a flight that is less likely to get canceled.“We have seen a 15% increase in ticket prices for the spring and summer to almost all destinations, relative to just 10 days ago,” said Feldman.El Al is already facing an NIS 121 million ($39 million) fine after Israel’s competition watchdog last month alleged that the airline exploited its monopolistic power and charged “excessive and unfair” fares during the two-year war with Hamas in Gaza.Over the course of the war, foreign airlines repeatedly halted flight services to and from Israel due to heightened regional tensions, leaving travelers largely dependent on Israeli carriers.A limited number of flights allowed El Al to raise airfares by 16% on average, a situation that seems poised to repeat.“Most bookings we are getting are almost exclusively on El Al, which reinforces, once more, why El Al will have a dominant position, and reap the benefits from a near monopoly on its routes,” said Feldman.Round-trip tickets for flights to New York in the last week of May currently sell for $1,990 with El Al and for $1,700 with United Airlines, said Feldman. Flights to and from New York operated by the smaller Israeli carrier Arkia for the same period are selling between $1,550 and $2,448, depending on the dates, and in the summer prices start around $1,800.“People booking their holidays abroad are prepared to pay more and book with El Al because they want to know that they will be able to fly,” said Feldman. “This is a short-term gain for El Al, as once there is peace and a few months have gone by with quiet, foreign carriers’ market share will go up again.”

'We can no longer take this like good Canadians'‘Every light is flashing’: After shootings at synagogues, Canada’s Jews fear what’s next-Community leaders worry a Bondi Beach-type attack is around the corner after years of unchecked antisemitism; they’re hopeful lawmakers will finally heed the warnings-By Zev Stub-Today, 8:15 am-MAR 13,26

When shots were fired at two Toronto synagogues last Friday night, only the timing of the gunfire — after the buildings had emptied — prevented anyone from being hurt. Occurring not far from each other, these attacks, Jewish leaders say, reflect an alarming rise in antisemitism in the city.At Beth Avraham Yoseph of Toronto (BAYT), the last guests from a singles dinner had left about half an hour before the shots rang out.“The attack on our shul happened a bit before midnight,” said BAYT’s Rabbi Daniel Korobkin. “Fortunately, someone saw what had happened, and the police and members of the shul were on top of it almost immediately. No one was hurt.”Korobkin believes the gunfire may have been carried out by the same person who shot at the nearby Shaarei Shomayim congregation in North York about 30 minutes later. Police have not confirmed a connection between the incidents or announced any arrests.The two attacks came just days after a third synagogue was targeted with gunshots on the Purim holiday, heightening alarm in Canada’s Jewish community.“What we need to do now is make sure that this doesn’t escalate,” Korobkin said. “We have to make it clear to our elected officials that the status quo is completely unacceptable.”Some might say it’s already too late for that. Antisemitism was already on the rise in Canada before the bloody Hamas invasion of southern Israel on October 7, 2023. But since then, Canadian Jews have been targeted in a surge of incidents, including shootings and firebombings of community institutions.Just over the past year, three men attempted to kidnap Jewish women, antisemitic graffiti was daubed on three synagogues in Nova Scotia, and a Jewish man in Montreal was beaten in front of his children. And in 2024, the community experienced 6,219 antisemitic incidents — about 17 cases of harassment, vandalism or violence per day — according to B’nai Brith Canada.Just across the border, on Thursday, an armed suspect crashed his truck into the hallway of a Detroit-area synagogue where children were attending preschool. The attacker, identified by federal officials as a US citizen born in Lebanon, was shot dead in a confrontation with security personnel.Canadian community leaders worry that there will be a further escalation and more — and more serious — attacks.After the Toronto synagogue shootings, Israeli President Isaac Herzog held an emergency Zoom call with Canadian Jewish leaders on Sunday to discuss the growing threat. Several days later, B’nai Brith Canada published a list of demands of the Canadian Government to deliver “a serious and immediate response commensurate with the gravity of the moment.” And several figures told The Times of Israel that they feel like a Bondi Beach-type terror attack is lurking right around the corner.“Every light on the dashboard is flashing,” said Richard Marceau, senior vice president of strategic initiatives and general counsel for the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA), an umbrella organization representing the country’s Jewish Federations. “It is long past time for people to realize how dangerous the situation is.”Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney condemned the shootings as “criminal antisemitic attacks” that are “an assault on the rights of Jewish Canadians to live and pray in safety,” and pledged federal assistance in investigating and prosecuting them.But Jewish community leaders are calling on government officials to take stronger actions to increase security enforcement, prosecute hate crimes, and invest more resources to secure the Jewish community. They hope their demands — which they have repeated frequently — will be taken more seriously this time.“Until now, the Jewish community here has tried to be polite and avoid making waves when we’ve confronted our political leaders about antisemitism,” Korobkin said. “That’s the Canadian ethos. But the line has been crossed, and we can no longer take this like good Canadians and comport ourselves in the same way.”Changes in society-For many Canadian Jews, the shootings at synagogues are not isolated incidents but part of a broader shift in the country’s social climate. But it’s still a wonder how they got here.The world’s fourth-largest Jewish community, with more than 400,000 people, had seen several decades of unprecedented social acceptance and freedom from oppression since the 1980s, experiencing a golden age of safety, public visibility and upward mobility.Prime ministers like Stephen Harper and Justin Trudeau prided themselves on their special relationships with Israel, even as the latter was often critical of Israeli policies, especially late in his term. A 2021 University of Toronto Press collection of essays entitled “No Better Home?” went so far as to suggest that Canada was the best home that Jews have ever had.But things began to shift in recent years, and accelerated with the global surge in antisemitism since the bloody Hamas invasion of southern Israel on October 7, 2023. Carney has shifted the country’s diplomatic tone regarding Israel, recognizing a Palestinian state in September and threatening to arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on an International Criminal Court warrant if he traveled to Canada.Meanwhile, the country has seen synagogues firebombed, shootings at schools, people assaulted, and discrimination and hate in schools, universities and in the workplace. Jews have begun wondering openly about whether they should consider leaving the country.A dangerous progression of hatred-The increase in overt antisemitism and violent episodes has been similar to that in Australia, which culminated in the deadly Bondi Beach attack on Hanukkah that killed 15 people and wounded dozens, according to Israel’s Canadian-born Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel, who has been closely following developments in the country.Deputy Foreign Minister MK Sharren Haskel attends a Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee meeting at the Knesset in Jerusalem, December 2, 2025. (Yonatan Sindel/Flash90)“Over the last two years, many red lines have been crossed,” she said. “It started the day after the October 7 attack, when mobs were marching through Canadian neighborhoods, chanting and glorifying violence, and intimidating Jews.”A lack of police deterrence created the conditions for more brazen acts of aggression to become thinkable, she said. Demonstrations outside synagogues and on university campuses gave way to attacks on Jewish-owned businesses and institutions. More than 10 shooting attacks against Canadian Jewish targets have followed, with virtually no security enforcement or consequences, Haskel said.It’s the same pattern that has played out in Australia, where unchecked hate speech and harassment culminated in violence, Haskel added.“The writing is on the wall,” she said. “The next step is going to be bloodshed if there is no real action.”Doxxing soldiers and institutions-It’s gotten to the point where former IDF soldiers are being targeted and threatened. Last year, Davide Mastracci, managing editor of left-wing news site The Maple, published a website listing Canadian citizens who had served in the IDF, including their personal information. The site insists that it is not a call for doxxing anyone, even as some of the people on the list said they felt “targeted” and compared it to historical attempts to single out Jews.More recently, a federal petition by a member of the New Democratic Party has called on the government to investigate Canadian citizens who have served in the IDF for “serious violations of international law.” That petition has already garnered nearly 10,000 signatures.IDF veterans in Canada are unlikely to ever be arrested, the CIJA’s Marceau said, but such campaigns are part of a long-term effort to stigmatize those individuals and “divide and weaken Israel and the Jewish community here.”In December, Mastracci launched a new list, highlighting Jewish institutions in the Greater Toronto Area, including schools, synagogues, and summer camps.“This, in effect, puts a target on the back of those people and those institutions, and the people who frequent those institutions,” Marceau said. “It is unconscionable that this is happening.”The website insists that it is merely gathering the information for public knowledge, and doesn’t encourage harassment. But both of the synagogues attacked this past weekend, BAYT and Shaarei Shomayim, were on that list, Marceau said.The country’s political echelon talks tough about fighting antisemitism domestically, but hasn’t backed it up with concrete actions, Marceau says.“We have seen a systemic failure in Canada at all levels to address rising hatred,” said Marceau. “There is a lack of resources allocated, there’s a lack of understanding of antisemitism, and there is a refusal to face the current reality.”CIJA and B’nai Brith have a long list of things that need to change on multiple levels of government. Locally, Jewish neighborhoods and institutions need greater security, including more funding for security infrastructure, and authorities need to take a zero-tolerance approach to intimidation and hate in public spaces. Those who are apprehended must be punished to the full extent of the law to discourage others, they say.Canadian law has a mechanism in which prosecution for certain minor crimes can be diverted outside of the formal justice system, allowing police to use their discretion to assign more lenient punishments. Hate crimes should be excluded from this track and prosecuted fully, Marceau stressed.On a broader scale, hate crimes need to be tackled by federal police, not just municipal forces, and there should be intelligence coordination between police and national agencies to monitor and respond to potential threats. A federal hate-crimes bill — currently stalled in parliamentary proceedings — must move forward as part of a broader strategy to fight hate, said Marceau.More fundamentally, Jewish leaders are asking governments and public institutions to apply existing regulations in schools, universities, unions and workplaces to curb harassment and incitement. They also want clear, consistent public messaging from federal, provincial and municipal officials that antisemitism is unacceptable and incompatible with Canadian values.There is some reason to be optimistic that these demands will be taken more seriously now, Marceau said. Toronto’s Jewish leaders are set to meet with the provincial government in the coming days, and British Columbia announced several days ago that it will introduce legislation to protect safe access to places of worship and schools. On Wednesday, the government announced a $10 million investment in Jewish community security, on top of previous grants made in recent years.“There is a growing realization from policymakers that things cannot remain as they have been,” Marceau said.A shooting this week at the US consulate in Toronto has also made it clear that violence in Canada is not only a Jewish issue, he added.“This is an attack on Canadian values and the Canadian way of life,” Marceau said. “The promise of Canada has been broken. It is time to fix this.”

Armed man rammed vehicle into Michigan synagogue and was fatally shot by security, AP source says-By  COREY WILLIAMS and ALANNA DURKIN RICHER-Updated 2:23 PM EDT, March 12, 2026

WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich. (AP) — A man armed with a rifle rammed a vehicle into the nation’s largest Reform synagogue, in a Detroit suburb, and was fatally shot by security, The Associated Press has learned.That’s according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke to The Associated Press on Thursday. The vehicle caught on fire after crashing into the Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield Township, the person said.Investigators were still working to identify the man and a possible motive for the attack. The person cautioned that the investigation is still in the early stages.The person could not publicly discuss details of the investigation and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.Oakland County Sheriff Sheriff Mike Bouchard confirmed during an earlier news conference that security at the synagogue had engaged in gunfire with at least one person, and that no one was in custody.WDIV-TV reported that a truck had crashed into the synagogue. Smoke could be seen billowing from the synagogue’s roof. Footage from the scene shows dozens of police vehicles surrounding the building.FBI Director Kash Patel said agents were on scene of an “apparent vehicle ramming and active shooter situation” at the synagogue.The Oakland County Sheriff’s office said authorities are clearing the building. About a dozen parents sprinted to get their children from an early childhood learning center inside the building after getting approval from police. West Bloomfield School District went on lockdown.Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer issued a statement saying she was tracking developments.“This is heartbreaking,” the governor said. “Michigan’s Jewish community should be able to live and practice their faith in peace.”Temple Israel calls itself the nation’s largest Reform synagogue, with 12,000 members. according to its website. It has an early childhood education center and offers educational programs for families and adults.The website says the synagogue is “passionate about helping Jewish communities across the globe” and that its mission is to “create a community building through the lens of Reform Judaism.”The Jewish Federation of Detroit advised all Jewish organizations in the area “to go into lockout protocol — nobody in or out of your building.”___Durkin Richer reported from Washington, D.C.

Based on reports as of early March 2026, intense, coordinated strikes by the United States and Israel have severely degraded Iran's offensive military capabilities. The campaign, often referred to as "Operation Epic Fury" or similar, has heavily targeted Iran's missile infrastructure, air defenses, and naval capabilities

Key Findings on Iran's Weapons Losses:
Massive Missile and Drone Degradation: After roughly ten days of conflict, reports indicate that Iran's daily missile launch rate has dropped by approximately 92% from its peak. Drone launches have seen a similar reduction.
Destruction of Launchers: Israel estimates that around 60% to 70% of Iran’s ballistic missile launchers have been destroyed or buried in underground "missile cities".
Air Defense and Infrastructure: Approximately 80% of Iran's air defense systems have been destroyed, leaving it vulnerable to further aerial strikes.
Naval Assets: Over 40 naval vessels have been damaged or destroyed, including major ships.
Struck Targets: US and Israeli forces have struck over 3,000 targets across 30 of Iran's 31 provinces. 

Current Status and Strategy:
While Iranian state media initially reported using a high volume of missiles and drones, the rapid decline in firing rates suggests a significant depletion of their operational, ready-to-use arsenal. However, some analysis indicates that this drop may partly be an effort to conserve the remaining arsenal for a longer fight, and that underground, hardened facilities may still contain hidden weapons. 
Note: The information above is based on reports, including from the JPost, Reuters, and BBC, detailing the conflict situation in early March 2026.

 
Iran threatens banks as 3 commercial ships hit in Gulf, drones impact near Dubai airport-After Tehran bank reportedly struck, regime says US and Israel ‘forcing our hand’ to target their economic centers; Pentagon says troops destroyed 16 Iranian minelaying vessels-By Agencies Today, 12:32 pm

Iran’s military vowed on Wednesday to launch strikes against US and Israeli economic targets in the region, after overnight attacks reportedly hit an Iranian bank.An administrative building linked to Bank Sepah, which is one of the country’s largest public banks and has historical links to the military, was hit overnight in Tehran, according to the semi-official Mehr news agency.“Following their failed campaign, the terrorist US army and cruel Zionist regime have targeted one of the country’s banks,” state media quoted a spokesman for Tehran’s Khatam al-Anbiya military command headquarters as saying.“With this illegitimate and uncommon action, the enemy is forcing our hand to target economic centers and banks linked to the US and Zionist regime in the region,” he added, and warned people of the region to stay 1,000 meters away from banks.Meanwhile, three commercial ships took fire in the Gulf, as Iran launched strikes against its oil-exporting neighbors, threatening shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.The Thailand-flagged bulk carrier Mayuree Naree was targeted and damaged approximately 11 nautical miles north of Oman, two maritime security sources said.The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said later, referring to the incident, that the fire had been extinguished and that there was no environmental impact. Necessary crew remained on the vessel.Earlier, the Japan-flagged container ship One Majesty sustained minor damage from an unknown projectile 25 nautical miles (46 km) northwest of Ras Al Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates, two maritime security sources said.Its crew members were safe and the vessel was sailing toward a safe anchorage, the sources added.A third vessel, a bulk carrier, was hit by an unknown projectile approximately 50 miles northwest of Dubai, maritime security firms said.The projectile had damaged the hull of the Marshall Islands-flagged Star Gwyneth, maritime risk management company Vanguard said, adding that the vessel’s crew were safe.Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a key artery accounting ​for about 20% of global oil and gas supply, has dropped rapidly since the Iran conflict began on February 28.The leaders of the G7 powers were to hold a video meeting later in the day to discuss opening their strategic petroleum reserves to counter the rising prices. Ahead of the talks, the group’s energy ministers said they “stand ready to take all necessary measures.”Pentagon says US destroyed 16 Iranian minelaying vessels-On Tuesday, the Pentagon said US forces had carried out strikes that destroyed 16 minelaying vessels that could have been used to attack or deter traffic in the strait.“If for any reason mines were placed, and they are not removed forthwith, the military consequences to Iran will be at a level never seen before,” US President Donald Trump posted on social media.Trump has said the US Navy could accompany tankers through the strait, but his administration acknowledged that a post by his energy secretary that briefly reassured markets by announcing a first such escort was untrue.Experts were dubious about whether naval escorts would be enough to reopen Hormuz to trade.“Any escort mission would likely face persistent threats from Iranian missiles and drones, and the security risks alone could make a single transit through the strait more costly than the profit margin on the oil shipment itself,” the Soufan Center think tank said, in a briefing note.“Experts estimate that Iran’s naval mine stockpile sits anywhere from 2,000 to 6,000 mines, which would further complicate any naval plan to escort commercial tankers,” it said.Iranian drones impact near Dubai airport; four wounded-Meanwhile, two drones impacted in the vicinity of Dubai International Airport (DXB) on Wednesday, injuring four people, Dubai’s media office said.Three foreign nationals — two Ghanaians and one Bangladeshi — were lightly injured in the attack, and one Indian was moderately injured, according to Dubai.Flight resumed at the world’s busiest airport.Lazar Berman contributed to this report.

Israeli officials: Trump's intentions 'hard to decipher'Iran’s police chief says anti-government protesters will be treated as ‘enemies’Israeli officials said to assess there’s no certainty Tehran regime will fall, despite Netanyahu telling Iranians Israel is creating ‘once in a lifetime opportunity’ to topple it By AFP, Lazar Berman-and Nava Freiberg-Today, 10:56 am-MAR 11,26

Iranian protesters will be treated as enemies if they support Tehran’s foes, the country’s top police officer warned on Tuesday, as the war sparked fears in the regime that mass anti-government rallies could reignite.“If anyone comes forward in line with the wishes of the enemy, we will no longer see them as merely a protester, we will see them as an enemy,” said national police chief Ahmad-Reza Radan in comments aired by state broadcaster IRIB.“And we will do to them what we do to an enemy. We will deal with them in the same way we deal with enemies,” he added. “All our forces are also ready, with their hands on the trigger, prepared to defend their revolution.”The government in January brutally cracked down on anti-government protests over economic grievances in the sanctions-hit country. The authorities deemed the protests to be “riots” and Radan at one point issued an ultimatum to protesters to turn themselves in or face the full force of the law.Iranian authorities acknowledge more than 3,000 deaths in the unrest, including members of the security forces and bystanders, but say the violence was caused by “terrorist acts” fueled by Iran’s enemies.The US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), however, has recorded more than 7,000 killings in the crackdown, the vast majority protesters, though the toll may be far higher. More than 50,000 have been arrested, it says.US President Donald Trump initially cheered on the protesters, threatening to intervene on their behalf as authorities launched their deadly crackdown, but his threats soon shifted to Iran’s nuclear program.Washington launched strikes with Israel on Iran on February 28, sparking retaliatory strikes by Tehran against Israel and US bases across the Gulf region.PM to Iranians: We’re setting stage for you to topple regime-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, writing in English on X Tuesday, told the Iranian people that Israel would in the coming days “create the conditions for you to grasp your destiny.”“People of Iran,” he wrote on the Prime Minister of Israel account. “We are waging a historic war for liberty. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for you to remove the Ayatollah regime and gain your freedom.”“Together with the United States, we are hitting the Tyrants of Teheran harder than ever,” wrote Netanyahu, promising that “we will continue to hit with growing force the tyrants who terrorized you for decades.”“When the time is right, and that time is fast approaching, we will pass the torch to you,” he wrote.But despite the rhetoric of revolution, the Kan public broadcaster reported Tuesday that Israeli government ministers, following a security briefing, believe the fall of Iran’s regime could take up to a year, even as the ongoing US-Israeli campaign against Iran is expected to end sooner.“After [the campaign ends], the work will be up to the Iranian people,” ministers told the network, while Israeli security officials added that “there is real fog regarding the duration of the attack in Iran,” since it is “difficult to decipher” Trump’s intentions.The officials added that conditions are not yet ripe for the Iranian public to take to the streets, and that Israeli and US airstrikes are expected to continue in the coming week.Israeli officials: No certainty Iran’s regime will fall-Israeli officials also acknowledged to Channel 13 — apparently after the same briefing — that there is no certainty Iran’s regime will fall at all, and that no signal has been received from Trump indicating when the fighting will end.The officials said that for now, Israel’s strategy is to maintain sustained military pressure until the Iranian people can overthrow their rulers.“Our role is to continue striking the oppressors,” one official told Channel 13, “until the public rises up.”A New York Times report noted that Iran appears to have adapted its strategy for fighting the US and Israel, noting American vulnerabilities in the region and saving up projectiles to launch at them.While Iran gave warnings in the past before striking American military facilities in the Middle East– apparently striking in order to save face, rather than to exert real damage — it has given no such warnings this time around, as it’s fired missiles and drones at US bases and other targets on the soil of its Arab neighbors.Despite the damage done to Iran’s regime so far, including the assassination of its former supreme leader and many of its top commanders, the fighting “has not totally crippled its ability to fight,” the Times said.

Iran’s new supreme leader was injured in legs on 1st day of war – report-New York Times says Mojtaba Khamenei was hurt in US-Israeli strikes; son of Iranian president Pezeshkian insists he is ‘safe and sound’By ToI Staff and Agencies Today, 10:17 am

Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, was wounded in his legs on the opening day of US-Israeli strikes on Iran, The New York Times reported Wednesday, citing Israeli and Iranian officials.Khamenei, 56, was announced on Sunday as the successor to his father, Ali Khamenei, the longtime supreme leader who was killed in the opening day of the war.The Times report said the younger Khamenei was wounded, including in his legs, on that day as well, which may be one reason he has yet to appear in public or on video.He had still issued no statement or appeared in public by Wednesday morning, over 48 hours after his selection.Sources told the Times that in addition to his injuries, there was concern Khamenei could be targeted if he were to issue any public communication.Previous reports had indicated that Mojtaba Khamenei was injured in the war, including state media reports describing him as “janbaz,” or wounded by the enemy.It was unclear whether Khamenei’s injuries precluded him from running the country.The son of the Iranian president said Wednesday that Mojtaba Khamenei was “safe and sound,” without denying the supreme leader was injured.“I heard news that Mr Mojtaba Khamenei had been injured. I have asked some friends who had connections. They told me that, thank God, he is safe and sound,” said Yousef Pezeshkian, who is also a government adviser, in a post on his Telegram channel.Though an influential backroom operator for decades spent running his father’s office, Mojtaba Khamenei remains an obscure figure to many Iranians.Senior Iranian sources said Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forced through his nomination, seeing him as a more pliant version of his father who would back their hardline policies, bludgeoning aside the concerns of pragmatists.Already very powerful, the IRGC has gained yet greater sway since the war began and quickly overcame the misgivings of senior political and clerical figures whose opposition to the choice delayed the announcement by hours, the sources said.Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz said last week that any leader appointed by the Iranian regime would be an “unequivocal target for elimination.”“Any leader appointed by the Iranian terror regime to continue leading the plan to destroy Israel, threaten the US and the free world and the countries of the region, and oppress the Iranian people, will be an unequivocal target for elimination,” Katz said in a statement.“It does not matter what his name is or where he hides,” he said.

At least 25 Iranian attacks have targeted US sites in Middle East, analysis finds-Extent of Iran’s attacks shows it was better prepared for war then White House thought, officials tells NYT, which reports at least 17 American sites have been damaged By AFP and ToI Staff Today, 2:07 am-mar 11,26

At least 25 Iranian attacks have targeted US sites or locations housing American military personnel in the Middle East since the start of the war, according to an AFP analysis.The US and Israel launched a bombing campaign on Iran on February 28 in a bid to topple its clerical regime and destroy its nuclear and ballistic missile programs. Iran has responded with missile and drone strikes on Israel and the region.Of Iran’s attacks, recorded between February 28 and March 11 at 5 p.m. in Israel, four targeted US embassies or consulates in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq.The other 21 Iranian missiles or drone attacks targeted 13 different military sites housing American personnel.These included the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia and Erbil airport in Iraq, which houses a US base. Both were attacked at least four times.The Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar and Al Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates were each targeted at least twice.The count does not include seven attacks observed or claimed by Iran against radars or US THAAD missile defense systems operated either by the US or Gulf states.AFP was able to confirm damage after 12 strikes targeted US-linked military sites by analyzing satellite images, the most recent dating from March 5, before US providers of high-resolution imagery imposed restrictions on availability in order to protect allies.Citing commercial satellite imagery, verified social media footage, US officials and Iranian state media, the New York Times reported Wednesday that 17 US sites have been damaged by Iran’s attacks, including military bases, communication and air defense infrastructure and diplomatic sites.US military officials cited by the Times said the intensity of Iran’s attacks showed Tehran was more prepared for war than Washington expected.Among the US sites was in Kuwait’s Shuaiba port, where a drone hit a structure housing US service members on March 1, killing six, with satellite imagery showing the building’s roof partially collapsed, the report said.The Pentagon announced Sunday that a seventh US service member was killed in another Iranian strike on a US base in Saudi Arabia.It was difficult to gauge the financial cost of the damage caused by Iran’s attacks, the Times said. However, a strike on the US 5th Fleet headquarters in Bahrain caused some $200 million worth of damage, while a strike on a US site in Jordan severely damaged equipment possibly worth some $500 million, according to the report, citing a US congressional official as well as military budget and contractor documents.Analysts cited by the New York Times said some of the radars affected by Iran’s attacks would be difficult to replace, but that US intelligence likely wouldn’t suffer because there was “such redundancy” in the information gathered by US sensor networks.Meanwhile, nearly 30 attacks have targeted energy infrastructure in the Middle East between the start of the conflict and March 11, more than half of which were carried out by Tehran.AFP counted 16 Iranian strikes targeting oil and gas fields or complexes in seven different Gulf states.Among the targets was the United Arab Emirates industrial zone that includes the Ruwais refinery, one of the largest in the world, which was closed on Tuesday as a precaution.

Hezbollah fires at least 150 rockets at north, Iran launches missiles in ‘integrated operation’Two people lightly hurt amid Lebanese terror group’s largest attack of war; IDF pounds Hezbollah bastion in Beirut as Israeli official warns sides ‘headed toward serious escalation’By Emanuel Fabian,Lazar Bermanand Agencies Today, 12:46 amUpdated: 12 March 2026, 1:21 am

Lebanese terror group Hezbollah blasted rockets and drones at northern Israel for hours, repeatedly sending hundreds of thousands of Israelis to shelters on Wednesday evening.It marked the largest Hezbollah attack on Israel since hostilities intensified earlier this month, as the terror group began attacks to support its sponsor, Iran, which is under intense attack from a joint US-Israel air campaign that began on February 28.An opening salvo of 100 rockets was launched around 8 p.m. as a missile from Iran targeted the central region of the country, in what Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said was a coordinated attack. More Iranian missiles targeted the north and south of the country.The Iranian missiles were successfully intercepted by air defenses, which also worked to thwart the Hezbollah attacks. However, several impacts were reported, causing fires, and two people were lightly injured.The Magen David Adom ambulance service said the two, a 35-year-old woman and a man in his 50s, were hit by “flying objects” following an impact. They were taken to a hospital.According to rescue services, a rocket that struck a home in the northern town of Bi’ina injured one of the two victims. Four others were treated for acute anxiety at the scene.As the Israel Defense Forces instructed residents of the north to stay close to shelters, Hezbollah continued firing rockets alongside drones, with sirens set off across the Galilee and in Haifa, as well as in communities up to 50 kilometers from the border with Lebanon.In all, the terror group fired at least 150 rockets at the north over the course of several hours, according to IDF assessments.A number of long-range rockets fired by Hezbollah also struck open areas. Because the rockets were heading for open areas, no sirens were activated by the military. Sounds of explosions were reported by residents of central Israel amid the attack.The attacks continued into early Thursday, with suspected drone infiltration and rocket alerts sounding in Nahariya and a number of Western Galilee communities, as well as Acre and some of Haifa’s northern suburbs. Hezbollah also fired long-range rockets, setting off sirens in Tel Aviv and surrounding towns, amid which the IDF announced the detection of an Iranian ballistic missile, which triggered alerts in central Israel, the Jerusalem area and parts of the south.Some of projectiles were intercepted, according to initial military assessments. Police reported damage was caused by an impact in central Israel. Fragments following the interceptions also reportedly fell in several areas.The IDF, meanwhile, launched heavy airstrikes on Hezbollah’s strongholds in southern Beirut, while an Israeli official said the military could begin hitting civilian infrastructure if the Lebanese government fails to rein in Iran-backed Hezbollah.The IDF earlier warned that Hezbollah would likely attempt to increase its rate of rocket and drone attacks on Israel.CNN reported that Israel was preparing for a potential “significant expansion” of attacks from Iran and Hezbollah on Wednesday. Echoing the earlier reports, Channel 12 news cited an update sent to cabinet ministers saying that officials expected heavy missile and rocket fire from Hezbollah and Iran later in the day.Hezbollah’s opening barrage of rockets was launched from several areas in Lebanon. The terror group, in a statement, said that “in response to the criminal aggression against dozens of Lebanese cities and towns and Beirut’s southern suburbs,” its fighters targeted sites in northern Israel “with dozens of rockets” as part of a new operation announced a short time earlier.Iran’s powerful IRGC military force, which controls the country’s missile weaponry, described the attack on Israel as a “joint and integrated operation” with Hezbollah.In a statement carried by the Tasnim news agency, the IRGC said that it launched several ballistic missiles, while Hezbollah launched drones and rockets at over 50 targets in Israel.Previously, the IDF had said it had no intelligence indicating that concurrent fire from Iran and by Hezbollah in Lebanon was a “coordinated” effort.The Israeli Air Force responded to the attack by carrying out an “extensive” wave of strikes on Hezbollah rocket launchers and other infrastructure in Lebanon, the military said.The strikes were intended to thwart additional fire toward Israel.Ahead of strikes on Beirut, and for the third time on Wednesday, the IDF called on Lebanese civilians to evacuate the capital’s south.“Do not return to the southern suburb until further notice,” said army spokesman Col. Avichay Adaree.AFP correspondents reported hearing the sound of blasts across the city, while footage showed large explosions and smoke covering the area, and the state-run National News Agency reported at least “six heavy strikes” on the southern suburbs.Before the wave of strikes, the IDF said it had so far struck over 70 targets in Beirut’s south during the war with Iran, including demolishing 50 multi-story buildings used by Hezbollah.‘Heading toward a serious escalation’Amid the continued Hezbollah attacks, a senior Israeli official told The Times of Israel that the terror organization’s strongholds will be destroyed unless Lebanon’s government acts.“The Lebanese government needs to get a grip on their country,” said the official, “or Hezbollah parts of Beirut will soon look like Gaza.”The comments came after a senior security official, who spoke anonymously to Hebrew media outlets, told Ynet: “We are on the eve of a fateful campaign in Lebanon which will determine the future of both countries.”“There is a security discussion right now,” said the official. “The campaign in Lebanon is going to expand significantly.”The official said that the expanded campaign would include the call-up of more reservists.“Hezbollah, in its calculations, wants to turn our attention away from Iran, and thinks that if it draws us in, we will take our foot off the gas in the campaign against Iran,” said the official. Hezbollah, the official continued, “wants to create a new balance in which Israel’s enforcement policy in Lebanon ends, and we don’t attack at all. That won’t happen. Therefore, this is heading toward a serious escalation.”“We have more capabilities and tools, and we can conduct campaigns in parallel against Iran and against Lebanon,” said the official.The official told Ynet that the Lebanese government was not affecting Hezbollah’s behavior in any way.According to Channel 12, Israel sent a warning to Lebanon’s government through the US and Western countries that if Beirut does not get a grip on Hezbollah, Israel will attack Lebanese national infrastructure.Referring to a ceasefire that ended a 2023-2024 war between Israel and Hezbollah, the senior security official recalled to the network that the Beirut government committed to disarming Hezbollah and taking control of all military equipment in the country.“That is not happening, and so Israel is no longer required to refrain from hitting infrastructure,” said the official. “If Lebanon doesn’t come to its senses and stop Hezbollah, we will attack civilian infrastructure, something Israel has refrained from doing so far. They have had endless opportunities to show their sovereignty, but regrettably, they are not participating even if they have good intentions.”On October 8, 2023, Hezbollah began attacking Israel, a day after the assault led by the Iranian-backed Hamas on southern Israel triggered the war in Gaza.Fighting escalated into open war by the following September, during which Hezbollah suffered major losses to its leadership and stockpiles. The war ended with the US-brokered ceasefire in November. However, Israel has repeatedly said the Beirut government is not doing enough to disarm Hezbollah, and has carried out numerous strikes it says are to prevent the group from rearming.

FBI said to warn California that Iran could launch drones from boat at West Coast-Trump says he’s not worried at possible Iranian retaliation on US soil, as Newsom’s office says it has elevated its security posture since start of war By Reuters 11 March 2026, 10:22 pm

WASHINGTON — The Federal Bureau of Investigation has reportedly warned police departments in California that Iran could retaliate for US attacks by launching drones at the West Coast.The news was first reported by ABC News on Wednesday, citing an alert it reviewed.When asked on Wednesday if he was worried that Iran may increase it retaliation to include strikes on US soil, US President Donald Trump told reporters, “No, I’m not.”The US and Israel carried out strikes on Iran nearly two weeks ago, launching the Gulf region into a war. Tehran has carried out retaliatory strikes in response to the US-Israeli strikes that killed top Iranian officials, including the country’s supreme leader.“We recently acquired information that as of early February 2026, Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United State Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the US conducted strikes against Iran,” the FBI wrote in an alert distributed at the end of February, according to ABC News.“We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack.”California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office said the bulletin was one of many security updates the state received from federal partners daily. California, it said, had elevated its security posture since the start of the conflict.“The Governor’s Office of Emergency Services is actively working with state, local and federal security officials,” said Diana Crofts-Pelayo, a spokesperson for Newsom.Spokespeople for the FBI, Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles mayor did not immediately respond to requests for comments.Reuters reported earlier this month that Iran and its proxies could target the US with attacks in response to US strikes.A threat assessment produced by the Office of Intelligence and Analysis at the Department of Homeland Security said Iran ​and its proxies “probably” pose a threat of targeted attacks on the United States, although a large-scale ​physical attack was unlikely.Iran has used drones to attack scores of targets throughout the region, striking ships, US embassies, airports and other infrastructure. Ukraine, which has been dealing for years with attacks from Iranian-made drones launched by Russia, has dispatched experts to the region to help countries counter the threat.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Thousands in Iran mourn slain top commanders under heavy security presence-Mass funeral held for army chief of staff Moussavi, Revolutionary Guards chief Pakpour, defense minister Nassirzadeh, and top security adviser Shamkhani-By Sébastien RICCI and Mostafa DADKHAH 11 March 2026, 10:19 pm

TEHRAN, Iran (AFP) — Thousands of people in Tehran defied ongoing bombardments on Wednesday to publicly mourn commanders killed by US-Israeli strikes, in the largest gathering since the start of the war.In the otherwise mostly deserted Iranian capital, the funeral crowds gathered at the symbolic Enghelab Square, offering a stark contrast to the vacant avenues in the surrounding areas.Mourners paid their respects under a ubiquitous security presence as special forces, heavily armed and wearing balaclavas, remained on high alert throughout the ceremony.One officer was clad in a black scarf bearing the image of late supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, killed on the first day of the US-Israeli strikes on February 28, after 36 years in power.Armed forces chief of staff Abdolrahim Moussavi, Revolutionary Guards chief Mohammad Pakpour, defense minister Aziz Nassirzadeh, and influential security adviser Ali Shamkhani were also killed in simultaneous strikes.On Wednesday, trucks carrying the coffins of the top officials and their entourage formed a procession through central Tehran.An AFP journalist saw one small coffin bearing a picture of its victim, a two-month-old baby, alongside the Iranian flag.Revolutionary Guards personnel stood guard over the somber occasion, taking place under a grey sky and unusually cold temperatures, just days before the Nowruz springtime celebration.The mourners, many of them women dressed in black chadors, bore flags and flowers to a soundtrack of religious music.‘Death to America!’Teenagers, meanwhile, held up pictures of Ali Khamenei alongside images of his son and successor, Mojtaba Khamenei, who was injured in the same raid that killed his father, his wife, and his mother.The 56-year-old has yet to make any public appearances since being selected for the top post over the weekend.The procession progressed along avenues lined by buildings with blown-out windows and damaged facades.On the burned-out shell of a car was emblazoned the tagline “Make Iran Great Again” — a reference to the catchphrase used by US President Donald Trump, who has called on Iranians to rise up against the clerical state.Suddenly, the voice of an announcer cut through the ceremony to announce a new Iranian attack against its enemies.In response, the crowd chanted in unison, “Allahu akbar” (God is the greatest).The announcer then proceeded to sweep the crowd up into a frenzy of shouts of “Death to America!”, “Death to Israel!”The show of defiance comes as the Islamic Republic is embroiled in a war on several fronts, fighting its traditional foes but also launching unprecedented attacks across the wider region.It is also grappling with the prospect of a complete overhaul as the US and Israel, but also members of the Iranian diaspora, call for the end of the clerical state, two months after unprecedented protests in the country.

Iran hacking group claims attack on US medical company Stryker-Handala says cyber operation a ‘complete success,’ succeeded in extracting 50 terabytes of data as retaliation for military strikes-By Agencies and ToI Staff 11 March 2026, 9:36 pm

WASHINGTON, United States — An Iran-linked hacking group claimed responsibility Wednesday for a cyberattack on US medical technology giant Stryker, saying it had extracted 50 terabytes of data in retaliation for military strikes on Iran.“Our major cyber operation has been executed with complete success,” Handala said in a statement.It described the hack as retribution for what it called “the brutal attack on the Minab school” in Iran, where authorities said 150 people were killed, and for “ongoing cyber assaults against the infrastructure of the Axis of Resistance,” referring to a loose alliance of armed groups backed by Tehran.Handala said all extracted data was “now in the hands of the free people of the world.”It issued a warning to what it described as “Zionist leaders and their lobbies,” adding: “This is only the beginning of a new chapter in cyber warfare.”Stryker said in a statement that it was “experiencing a global network disruption to our Microsoft environment as a result of a cyberattack. We have no indication of ransomware or malware and believe the incident is contained.”Handala, named after a figure symbolic of the Palestinian people, has claimed a series of attacks on Israeli and Gulf-region companies in recent weeks.Since the beginning of the Iran war, it has repeatedly claimed responsibility for attacks against Israeli infrastructure, notably asserting that it has “full access” to Jerusalem’s security cameras.“They are the most notorious group affiliated with the Iranian regime,” Gil Messing, head of cyber intelligence at Israel-based Check Point, said of Handala. “We have been tracking them for years.”Last month, Handala said it had infiltrated the files of Israel’s largest healthcare network, Clalit, and released details of 10,000 patients.A Google Threat Intelligence report published earlier this year said malicious activity by the group “has primarily consisted of hack-and-leak operations, but has increasingly incorporated doxxing and tactics designed to promote fear, uncertainty and doubt.”Founded in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Stryker is a global medical device giant with some 56,000 employees and $25 billion in 2025 revenues, making everything from orthopedic implants and surgical instruments to hospital beds and robotic surgery systems.The outages began shortly after 0400 GMT on Wednesday, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.Windows devices — including laptops and mobile phones connected to Stryker’s networks — were remotely wiped, the report said.The Handala group later posted that it had also carried out an attack on Verifone, which specializes in electronic and point-of-sale payments.AFP could not independently verify Handala’s claims, and Verifone did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

IDF targets Hezbollah command centers, weapons sites in strikes on Beirut suburbs-Death toll in Lebanon at 570, authorities say; IDF boosts troop presence in north, more reinforcement may come amid terror group’s rocket and drone attacks-By Emanuel Fabian-Today, 2:18 pm-MAR 11,26

Israel launched new waves of airstrikes in Lebanon overnight Tuesday and into Wednesday, striking Hezbollah targets while ramping up its troop presence in northern Israel, amid continuing rocket and drone attacks by the terror group.One wave of airstrikes in Beirut’s southern suburbs overnight and Wednesday targeted Hezbollah command centers and weapon storage sites, the military said.The IDF also said it had struck a Hezbollah command center in the coastal Lebanese city of Tyre on Tuesday.Four people were wounded in an Israeli strike targeting an apartment in central Beirut overnight, the Lebanese health ministry said. Earlier reports had said four were killed.Unusually, the latter strike took place in central Beirut, and not in the Hezbollah Dahiyeh stronghold in the city’s southern suburbs, where the IDF urged residents to evacuate.Footage showed heavy damage to two floors of the apartment building in the Aicha Bakkar neighborhood, and smoke rising from the structure.There was no immediate comment from the IDF.Lebanese media and health authorities reported at least 17 dead and dozens wounded in further Israeli strikes in southern and eastern Lebanon on Wednesday morning.In the town of al-Shahabiya, in the Tyre District, Israeli strikes “resulted in the martyrdom of seven citizens and the injury of 11 others,” Lebanon’s health ministry said in a statement carried by the official National News Agency.In the eastern Beqaa Valley, the ministry said, a strike in the town of Tamnin al-Tahta killed seven and wounded 18, while in the town of Ali al-Nahr, another five were wounded.The state news agency reported that three more people were killed in a strike in the Bint Jbeil area of southern Lebanon early Wednesday morning.The IDF has not yet commented on the morning strikes.They were followed, according to Lebanese reports, by a further wave of attacks in Dahiyeh around 11 a.m., which came after the IDF reiterated an evacuation warning for the area, saying it would target Hezbollah sites.Israel launched an offensive against Iran-backed Hezbollah after the terror group opened fire on March 2 to avenge the killing of Iran’s supreme leader at the start of the US-Israeli war on Iran.Israeli strikes so far have killed 570 people in Lebanon, and uprooted 700,000 more, according to Lebanese authorities.Lebanon’s health ministry said Wednesday that of those killed, 439 were men, 45 were women, and 86 were children. It did not distinguish between combatants and civilians.The toll includes 14 healthcare workers, the ministry said.Hezbollah’s rockets and drone attacks, meanwhile, have continued, with several drone infiltrations setting off sirens in Israel’s north on Wednesday.At least one drone was intercepted after setting off sirens in the Golan Heights.The IDF has warned that Hezbollah will likely attempt to increase the rate of the attacks amid the renewed fighting.
IDF bolstering troops in Israel’s north, may reinforce further-The IDF said it was bolstering troops in northern Israel amid the ongoing fighting.Following a fresh assessment, Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir ordered the Golani Brigade sent from the Southern Command to the Northern Command, the military said.“Subsequently, and in accordance with a situation assessment, it will be decided whether to reinforce with additional forces,” the IDF added.Agencies contributed to this report.

Previous years saw arrests for terror support, antisemitism-UK bans pro-Iran, anti-Israel Al Quds Day march, but static demonstration permitted-Rally organized by group that said slain leader Khamenei ‘stood on right side of history’; police note potential tensions with counter-protesters, recent foiled Iranian plots on UK soil By ToI Staff and Agencies Today, 1:17 pm-MAR 11,26

The UK government has banned a planned annual pro-Iran, pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel march organized for Sunday by a group supportive of the Iranian regime, while police said there was no law to prevent a static demonstration being held.Al Quds Day, named after the Arabic name for Jerusalem and marked on the last Friday of the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan, originated in Iran and has been held annually since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Marches are held in cities worldwide.In a statement, police noted that previous marches in London have seen arrests for support for terror organizations and antisemitic hate crimes, but said the ban this year was due to the possibility of “extreme tensions” with counter-protesters, and the threat posed by Iran.British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said late Tuesday she had approved the rare police request to prevent “serious public disorder” if the Al-Quds Day march and counter-protests had gone ahead in London on Sunday.It is the first time a protest march has been banned since 2012 but a stationary protest will be permitted, according to London’s Metropolitan police.Mahmood said she was “satisfied” a ban on the march was “necessary” due to “the scale of the protest and multiple counter-protests, in the context of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.”The minister added that she expected to see “the full force of the law applied to anyone spreading hatred and division.”Metropolitan Police noted that “security services have been publicly clear about the threats we are facing on UK soil from the Iranian regime.”“In the last year MI5 and Counter Terrorism Policing have foiled over 20 Iranian state-backed attacks on the UK,” the police statement read. “Last week counter-terrorism officers arrested four people under the National Security Act after they allegedly spied on Jewish communities for the Iranian regime and, separately, at the weekend a man was reportedly stabbed by someone who had opposing views on the Iranian regime.”They also noted that “we have taken into consideration the likely impact on protests of the volatile situation in the Middle East, with the Iranian regime attacking British allies and military bases overseas.”Police said that there was “no law or power to ban a static assembly,” and that it would be strictly policed if held.The Met’s Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan said the Al Quds Day march was “uniquely contentious having originated in Iran.”“The threshold to ban a protest is high and we do not take this decision lightly,” Adelekan said.He noted the Met has “a proven track record” of permitting free speech and protest rights at dozens of major demonstrations in recent years. British police have faced heavy scrutiny relating to those regular, large pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel protests in London.“But in our assessment this march raises unique risks and challenges,” he said. “We must consider the likely high numbers of protestors and counter protestors coming together and the extreme tensions between different factions.The Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC), which organizes the annual march in London, is supportive of Tehran and last week said in a statement that Iranian former supreme leader Ali Khamenei was killed as he “stood on the right side of history” and that his death would be “mourned by freedom loving people all over the world.”On Wednesday it said it “strongly condemns” the decision to ban the march, which it called “politically charged,” and said that it would hold a stationary rally.“We are seeking legal advice and this decision will not go unchallenged,” it added, accusing the Met of having “brazenly abandoned their sworn principle of policing without fear or favor.”It said the London force “unashamedly regurgitate Zionist talking points about the IHRC “without a shred of evidence.”The ban on the march and any associated counter-protest marches is valid for a month starting Wednesday.

Video shows diners continuing to sit at tables during attack-‘Don’t mess with Iran, f*** the Jews’: 2 Israeli-American men beaten in California-Victims say they were speaking Hebrew when attacked outside San Jose restaurant; 1 knocked unconscious; police probing possible hate crime By ToI Staff Today, 12:10 pm-MAR 11,26

Two Israeli Americans were hospitalized after they were attacked in San Jose, apparently after they were heard speaking Hebrew by three young men, who were heard saying, “Don’t mess with Iran,” and “fuck the Jews” during the assault.According to a local ABC affiliate, the two men were speaking in Hebrew as they waited for a table at a Santana Row restaurant when they were attacked on Sunday.“Every punch connected directly to where they wanted, to the head directly. It was on purpose to hit and make maximum damage,” one of the victims told ABC7. The outlet said the victims asked not to be identified.“One of the witnesses said that they heard them saying, ‘Don’t mess with Iran,’ which we don’t know why,” the second man said.“We don’t have any problem with them. But, I heard at the beginning of the fight, something with, ‘F the Jews,'” he said.One of the victims was knocked unconscious and required stitches, and the other was treated for bad cuts and bruises.San Jose police were investigating the incident as a potential hate crime, reports said.There were no reports of arrests.Videos showed diners continuing to sit at tables at the restaurant as the pair was beaten on the sidewalk in front of them.The faces of the three attackers can be seen clearly in the footage.A witness told the San Francisco Chronicle that he was a short distance away when he noticed the attack, and that nobody stepped in to stop it.California Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna condemned the attack.“The assault on Israeli Americans in San Jose while speaking Hebrew is horrific,” he wrote on his personal account on X. “This kind of antisemitism has no place in our community. I unequivocally condemn these attacks. The assailants must be held accountable and prosecuted.”San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan said in a statement to the San Francisco Chronicle that “antisemitism and all acts of hatred have no place in San Jose.”“Being able to talk about our differences and celebrate them is what makes us the safest big city in America,” Mahan said. “I have been in touch with our police department and leaders in the local Jewish community regarding this deeply disturbing incident and will continue to monitor the situation closely as the investigation continues.”Antisemitic incidents have surged worldwide since the start of the war, sparked when Hamas launched its devastating cross-border assault against Israel on October 7, 2023 in which it killed some 1,200 people and took 251 hostages.According to a study published in October, more than half of Jewish Americans say they had experienced antisemitism over the preceding year, and many now consider such hostility a normal part of Jewish life.Polls have found that around half of Americans oppose US-Israeli military action against Iran.

Backlash against Hezbollah grows as still-reeling Lebanon again battered by war-With hundreds of thousands displaced by latest fighting, many are more openly blaming terror group for their misery: ‘People haven’t recovered from the previous war’By AP and ToI Staff 11 March 2026, 7:49 pm

BEIRUT — The Lebanese mother of two had just awakened to prepare the pre-dawn meal before another day of fasting during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan when Israeli warplanes began attacking southern Lebanon in retaliation for rockets and drones launched by Hezbollah.The family quickly packed up and headed toward Beirut, seeking safety from another deadly war between Israel and Hezbollah. With tens of thousands of others fleeing on that March 2 day, the usually one-hour trip from the southern city of Nabatiyeh took 15 hours.“I am against giving pretexts to Israel,” said the 45-year-old woman, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals from the Hezbollah supporters she lives among.“I am totally against Hezbollah’s decision to start with the first strike,” added the woman, who is now living with her husband, their 17- and 12-year-old children, and her mother-in-law inside a school turned into a shelter in the Lebanese capital.As Hezbollah enters a new round of fighting with Israel just 15 months after the last Israel-Hezbollah war ended with a November 2024 US-brokered ceasefire, the Iran-backed terror group and political party is facing increasing grassroots discontent within its base and problems with the Lebanese authorities.On March 2, two days after Israel and the US launched attacks on Iran, igniting a war in the Middle East, Hezbollah fired missiles and drones into Israel for the first time in more than a year.Hundreds of thousands of residents of southern Lebanon, the eastern Beqaa valley and Beirut’s southern suburbs have fled their homes after Israeli warnings that their neighborhoods, towns and villages would be targeted.The new round of fighting comes as Shiite communities that suffered the brunt of the last conflict are still reeling from it. The last Israel-Hezbollah war killed more than 4,000 people in Lebanon according to local estimates and caused $11 billion in damage, according to the World Bank.Unlike in the past, when many people were afraid to publicly criticize Hezbollah, some Lebanese Shiites are openly blaming the terror group for their current misery as they find themselves living in the street, on public squares, or with relatives or friends amid cold weather and fasting during Ramadan.For Hussein Ali, it was the second time in less than two years that he was forced to leave his house in Beirut’s southern suburb of Haret Hreik. During the last Israel-Hezbollah war, the apartment where he lived was destroyed, and now the vegetable vendor is worried the same thing will happen again.“No one wanted this war,” said the man, who is also staying in the school and relying on aid to survive. “People haven’t recovered from the previous war.”After the end of Lebanon’s civil war in 1990, militias were required to disarm, but Hezbollah was exempted because it was fighting Israel’s occupation of southern Lebanon at the time.Now the Lebanese government has sought to crack down on the group’s armed wing and end its status as a parallel armed force outside of state control.The shift was clear when, on March 2, the Lebanese government moved to declare Hezbollah’s military activities illegal, with all but two of the 24 cabinet ministers voting in favor; only the two Hezbollah ministers voted no. Even ministers from Hezbollah’s strongest ally, the Amal group of Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, voted to approve the measure.“The government confirms that the decision of war and peace is only in the hands of the state,” Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said, adding that the government “orders the immediate ban on all of Hezbollah’s military activities as they are illegal and it should be forced to hand over its weapons to the Lebanese state.”The Lebanese army has since begun to crack down and last week arrested three Hezbollah members who were found transporting weapons at a checkpoint. But the men were released on bail on Monday.Government officials have accused Hezbollah of repeatedly taking unilateral military actions that should be under state authority. On Oct. 8, 2023, the group began attacking Israel, a day after the assault led by the Iranian-backed Hamas on southern Israel triggered the war in Gaza.Ali al-Amin, a Lebanese journalist who is a harsh critic of Hezbollah, said that while some people are now criticizing the group more than in the past, many still remain quiet out of fear for their safety.“Criticism could have a high cost and not all people express their opinions,” said al-Amin, a Shiite Muslim from south Lebanon, who added that many poor Shiites rely on assistance that could be cut off anytime by Hezbollah or the allied Amal group.In the past, people who criticized Hezbollah on social media were sometimes roughed up by its supporters and forced to make new videos saying they were wrong.But the group still has many supporters. They say that Hezbollah’s decision to strike was justified because Israel had not abided by the November 2024 ceasefire.Since the ceasefire, Israel has continued to carry out almost daily airstrikes against Hezbollah, which have killed about 400 people, including dozens of civilians, and have also prevented the reconstruction of destroyed areas. The IDF has said that its ongoing strikes in Lebanon were responses to Hezbollah violations of the ceasefire, including its attempts to rebuild infrastructure.“We cannot tolerate that anymore,” said Ali Saleh, who was displaced from a southern village near Nabatiyeh. “I pray for God to protect our young men and make them victorious against Israel.”Even the Shiite woman who criticized Hezbollah’s move to strike first said that if the group hadn’t, the result might have been the same.“If we attack, they will attack us, and if we don’t attack, they would have attacked us,” she said.Sadek Nabulsi, a political science professor at the Lebanese University whose thinking aligns with Hezbollah, said the latest complaints are nothing new and don’t represent a fissure in grassroots support for the Iranian-allied militants. There was a similar outcry during the 14-month Israel-Hezbollah war that ended in 2024 and the monthlong war in 2006, he said“Hezbollah’s base of support is known for… tolerating pain,” Nabulsi said. “If you look at this base of support, despite all the harsh conditions, it is still coherent, patient and waiting for salvation.”

400 million barrels to be released from oil reserves as Iran effectively blocks Strait of Hormuz-Release is largest in history of International Energy Agency, which touts ‘major action aiming to alleviate the immediate impacts,’ as Tehran targets ships, oil fields, refineries By Agencies 11 March 2026, 7:28 pm

The International Energy Agency agreed Wednesday to release the largest volume of emergency oil reserves in its history, in a bid to counter the effects on energy markets of the war in the Middle East.The IEA said the release had been backed unanimously by 32 member countries, the sixth such move it has made since its creation in the 1970s. It is aimed at preventing a further rise in oil prices on fears that Iranian attacks will continue to block Middle East oil exports from reaching markets.The Paris-based organization said it will make 400 million barrels of oil available from its members’ emergency reserves. It’s a larger stock than the 182.7 million barrels that were released in 2022 by the IEA’s 32 member countries in response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.“Without sufficient routes to market and with no more available storage, Middle East oil producers have started to reduce production,” IEA executive director Fatih Birol said. “And we have seen further attacks and damage to energy and energy-related infrastructure. Refinery operations have also been disrupted, with major implications for jet fuel and diesel supplies in particular.”IEA member countries currently hold over 1.2 billion barrels of public emergency oil stocks, with a further 600 million barrels of industry stocks held under government obligation.In response to US and Israeli strikes, Iran has attacked commercial ships across the Persian Gulf, escalating a campaign of squeezing the oil-rich region as global energy concerns mount. On Wednesday alone, three commercial ships traversing the Gulf were hit by Iranian fire.Iran has effectively stopped cargo traffic in the narrow Strait of Hormuz through which about a fifth of all oil is shipped from the Persian Gulf toward the Indian Ocean. It has also targeted oil fields and refineries in Gulf Arab nations, aiming at generating enough global economic pain to pressure the United States and Israel to end their strikes.Sources said Wednesday that Iran has also laid about a dozen mines in the strait, a day after the US said it had destroyed 16 Iranian minelaying vessels in the area. One source said the locations of most of the mines are known, but declined to say how the US planned to deal with them.Germany and Austria said earlier Wednesday they would release parts of their oil reserves following an IEA request for members to release the record 400 million barrels to help temper energy price spikes due to the Iran war. Japan also said it will release some of its reserves starting Monday.Group of Seven energy ministers met Tuesday at IEA headquarters in Paris to look at ways to bring down prices. Birol said afterward that they discussed all available options, including making IEA emergency oil stocks available to the market.The IEA reserves were established in 1974 following the Arab oil embargo.“This is a major action aiming to alleviate the immediate impacts of the disruption in markets,” Birol added. “But, to be clear, the most important thing for a return to stable flows of oil and gas is the resumption of transit through the Strait of Hormuz.”The G7 is comprised of the leading industrialized nations of Canada, the United States, France, Italy, Japan, Germany and Britain. Austria is not a member.The group’s leaders, including US President Donald Trump, met Wednesday via videoconference to discuss energy issues.During his introductory remarks, French President Emmanuel Macron praised the IEA decision to release emergency oil stocks, saying it amounted to the equivalent of “20 days of the volume being exported through the Strait of Hormuz.” The amount being released by G7 nations, alone, comprises 70% of the total, he said.“I think it’s very important to see as well everything we can do in order to increase our global production,” Macron added.The French president said it was important to coordinate “to make sure that freedom of navigation is clearly restored in all the states as soon as possible,” including engaging “with third parties to avoid any type of export restrictions for oil and gas.”After being given the floor by Macron, Trump said: “I think we are having a tremendous impact, unbelievable actually, on the world.” It was not immediately clear whether Trump was talking about the release of oil stocks decided minutes earlier.Germany’s economy ministry, Katherina Reiche, said the IEA asked Germany to release 2.64 million tons of its oil reserves. It was not immediately clear how much Austria was releasing.She said it would take a couple of days before the delivery of the first quantities.“Germany stands behind the IEA’s most important principle of mutual solidarity,” Reiche said.The G7 energy ministers announced Tuesday that they supported in principle “the implementation of proactive measures to address the situation, including the use of strategic reserves.”According to the IEA, export volumes of crude and refined products are currently at less than 10% of prewar levels.Austrian Economy Minister Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer said his country was releasing part of the emergency oil reserve and extending the national strategic gas reserve, adding: “One thing is clear: in a crisis, there must be no crisis winners at the expense of commuters and businesses.”The German government also said it will introduce a measure to allow gas stations in Germany to raise fuel prices no more than once a day. The federal government wants to introduce this as quickly as possible, Reiche said.In Austria, starting Monday, price increases at gas stations will be allowed only three times a week, the country’s economy minister said.IEA nations have released emergency stocks on five previous occasions: During the 1990-1991 Gulf War, after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, during the Libyan civil war in 2011, and twice after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

NYC Jewish communal groups sound alarm over Mamdani’s latest controversies-2 leading organizations voice ‘deep concern,’ suggest hypocrisy by mayor after he fetes anti-Israel activist, shares stage with speaker who called for strikes on Israelis By Luke Tress-11 March 2026, 6:04 pm

NEW YORK — The leading Jewish communal groups in New York City on Tuesday pushed back against Mayor Zohran Mamdani after his latest anti-Israel controversies, expressing alarm and suggesting hypocrisy by the mayor.Mamdani, in the past week, hosted a prominent anti-Israel activist, Columbia University’s Mahmoud Kahlil, at his official residence, and shared a stage with a speaker who has supported violence against Israelis.The UJA-Federation of New York said that Mamdani “began his term highlighting his commitment to creating an inclusive New York,” but that the recent incidents raise “deep concerns in our community.”“This is an important moment for Mayor Mamdani to live up to his own rhetoric and reaffirm his commitment to confronting antisemitism and keeping every New Yorker safe,” the federation said in a statement.The head of the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York, Mark Treyger, said that, after Mamdani met with Khalil, “if the mayor truly cares about ensuring democratic protections apply to all New Yorkers,” he should meet with Jewish students from Columbia University who suffered antisemitic discrimination. Khalil’s group led protests on the campus that contributed to discrimination against Jews.“The mayor is no longer a candidate; he is now the mayor of the most diverse city in the world and must be seen as a mayor for all New Yorkers, which includes close to 1 million Jews,” Treyger said.“Leadership in this moment requires moral clarity and a commitment to protecting the rights and dignity of every New Yorker, which includes the Jewish community,” he said.Leadership in New York requires the ability to hold multiple truths at once.The mayor is entitled to his views on this matter, even though I strongly disagree with Mahmoud Khalil’s rhetoric, which many Jewish New Yorkers have experienced as contributing to a climate of… https://t.co/Yeaw8dnsP3 — Mark Treyger ???? (@MarkTreyger718) March 11, 2026-The forceful statements from the UJA-Federation of New York and the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York stood out because the two groups are generally not confrontational in politics and seek warm ties with City Hall.Last week, Mamdani hosted Khalil at his official residence, Gracie Mansion, in Manhattan, for Ramadan.The Trump administration detained Khalil last year and is seeking his deportation, making him a cause celebre on parts of the left.Khalil was an organizer and spokesperson for Columbia University Apartheid Divest, the anti-Zionist protest alliance at the Ivy League university.The group led the takeover of a campus building, sparking clashes with police, hosted pro-Hamas figures on campus, called for the eradication of Western civilization, distributed Hamas propaganda, and praised violent “resistance” by Palestinians, including, explicitly, the October 7, 2023, invasion, in which terrorists slaughtered, raped, kidnapped and tortured civilians across southern Israel.Since his release from detention, Khalil has justified the Hamas invasion of Israel, dismissed antisemitism at Columbia, and called for Israel’s destruction.Mamdani hailed Khalil’s “profound courage” since his arrest and said he “is a New Yorker, and he belongs in New York City.”For Mahmoud Khalil, this past year has been marked by profound hardship—and by profound courage.A year ago, Mahmoud was walking home through our city after sharing an iftar with his wife Noor when he was detained by federal agents, flown to Louisiana, and then held in an ICE… pic.twitter.com/6dBtLh0GeT— Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani (@NYCMayor) March 10, 2026-Mamdani’s chief counsel, Ramzi Kassem, is one of Khalil’s lawyers in his case against the Trump administration.Last week, Mamdani appeared at the Muslim American Society’s center on Staten Island for a Ramadan event.A prominent anti-Zionist activist, Abdullah Akl, introduced Mamdani at the event and welcomed him onstage.Akl was a leader of the hardline anti-Zionist activist group Within Our Lifetime, one of the most prominent of the protest groups in New York City, and often led the group’s rallies. Within Our Lifetime has targeted hospitals, transportation hubs, libraries, museums and holiday events with disruptive protests.During one protest in 2024, Akl led chants that called for strikes against Tel Aviv and in support of a Hamas spokesperson. At another protest that year, Akl castigated a female Muslim police officer as a “sellout,” video showed.Akl celebrated the October 7 attack and issued a call to “support the resistance” on the day it happened.He was arrested during at least one protest in 2024 and is suing the NYPD over the arrest.Another leader at the Staten Island center where Mamdani appeared regularly promotes antisemitic conspiracies online.

Spain permanently withdraws ambassador to Israel as rift deepens-Madrid announces envoy’s position has been terminated; foreign ministry says embassy in Tel Aviv will be led by charge d’affaires for foreseeable future By Reuters and Lazar Berman-11 March 2026, 5:43 pm

Spain permanently withdrew its ambassador to Israel on Wednesday as a diplomatic standoff worsened between the two countries over Spain’s opposition to Israeli policies, exacerbated by the US-Israeli strikes on Iran’s regime.Ambassador Ana Maria Salomon Perez was recalled to Spain last September amid a diplomatic row over Spanish measures banning aircraft and ships carrying weapons to Israel from its ports or airspace due to the war against Hamas in Gaza, a policy Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar denounced as antisemitic.On Tuesday, Spain published an announcement in its official gazette that the ambassador’s position had been terminated. Spain’s Foreign Ministry said its embassy in Tel Aviv will be led by a charge d’affaires for the foreseeable future.Israel’s embassy in Spain is also run by a charge d’affaires after Israel in May 2024 recalled its ambassador, Rodica Radian-Gordon, in protest of Spain’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state.“The Foreign Ministry confirms the withdrawal of the ambassador to Tel Aviv, who was called back for consultations ‘indefinitely,’” Spanish Foreign Ministry sources told The Times of Israel, “leaving the Spanish embassy in Tel Aviv under the leadership of a chargé d’affaires, at the same level as the Israeli embassy in Madrid.”The move marked the latest escalation in a diplomatic spat between the two countries, which have been heavily strained since the start of the Gaza war, which was triggered by the Hamas-led invasion of southern Israel on October 7, 2023.Ties between Jerusalem and Madrid steadily deteriorated over the following two years as Spain’s government expressed increasing anger and frustration against Israel over the war in Gaza.Madrid had prohibited sales and purchases of military equipment with Israel from the start of the war; however, last September, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced measures to enshrine the prohibition in law. Sa’ar criticized Spain as leading “a hostile, anti-Israel line,” after which Madrid also recalled  its ambassador.The following month, a US-brokered ceasefire came into effect, though sporadic fighting has continued as Gaza remains divided between Israeli and Hamas-controlled areas.Tensions have heightened since the US-Israeli strikes on Iran began on February 28, with Sa’ar accusing Spain in early March of “standing with tyrants” for opposing the war.In May 2024, when Spain, along with Ireland and Norway, announced that it would recognize a Palestinian state, Israel’s Foreign Ministry called in the envoys of those countries, including Perez, to watch a video of Hamas atrocities committed during the October 7 assault.
