Man slightly hurt, damage caused in barrage of over 60 Hezbollah rockets at north-Terror group says missiles launched in response to Israeli attack in south Lebanon that killed civilians; Magen David Adom ambulance damaged in Kiryat Shmona-By Emanuel Fabian-5 May 2024, 8:48 pm

The Hezbollah terror group launched more than 60 rockets at northern Israel on Sunday, injuring a man and causing damage to homes vehicles, and infrastructure in the northern city of Kiryat Shmona, following a deadly Israeli airstrike on southern Lebanon.In the first attack, some 20 rockets were launched at Kiryat Shmona, according to the Israel Defense Forces. Some of the rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense system.A man aged 65 was slightly wounded by shrapnel, medics said.At least 10 rockets struck the largely evacuated city, setting cars on fire, damaging homes, and causing a power outage in some areas, a spokesperson for Kiryat Shmona said.The Magen David Adom emergency service said one of its ambulances was also damaged in the rocket attack.Several hours later, another barrage of some 40 rockets was fired from Lebanon at the Galilee Panhandle area, the IDF said.The damaged MDA ambulance in the rocket attack on Kiryat Shmona. pic.twitter.com/pZKJF6BjW— Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian (@manniefabian) May 5, 2024-There were no reports of injuries in the second attack.Hezbollah claimed responsibility for both barrages, saying they were a response to a strike in southern Lebanon’s Mays al-Jabal earlier Sunday, which it said killed and wounded civilians.Following the 60 rockets, the military said it struck several sites belonging to the terror group in southern Lebanon.The sites hit by fighter jets included buildings and other infrastructure in the towns of Markaba, Taybe, Kafr Kila and Odaisseh, according to the IDF.Since October 8, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis, with the group saying it is doing so to support Gaza during the war there.So far, the skirmishes on the border have resulted in nine civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of 11 IDF soldiers and reservists. There have also been several attacks from Syria, without any injuries.Hezbollah has named 290 members who have been killed by Israel during the ongoing skirmishes, mostly in Lebanon, but some also in Syria. In Lebanon, another 56 operatives from other terror groups, a Lebanese soldier and at least 60 civilians, three of whom were journalists, have been killed.

Israel strikes Gazan city in response, allegedly killing 16-3 soldiers killed, 11 more hurt inside Israel by Hamas rocket attack from Rafah
Troops stationed on border near Kerem Shalom hit by barrage fired from terror group’s last major stronghold; in response, Israel seals the crossing, where aid trucks pass through-By Emanuel Fabian-5 May 2024, 6:40 pmUpdated at 2:00 am

Three Israeli soldiers were killed and 11 more were wounded in a Hamas-claimed rocket attack on a staging ground near the Gaza Strip on Sunday, prompting the military to shutter a key border crossing.The slain soldiers were named as:Staff Sgt. Ruben Marc Mordechai Assouline, 19 of the Givati Brigade’s Shaked Battalion, from Ra’anana.Staff Sgt. Ido Testa, 19, of the Givati Brigade’s Shaked Battalion, from Jerusalem.Staff Sgt. Tal Shavit, 21, of the Nahal Brigade’s 931st Battalion, from Kfar Giladi.Their deaths brought the toll of slain troops in Israel’s ground offensive against Hamas and amid operations along the Gaza border to 266.Another 11 soldiers were wounded, including two soldiers of the 931st Battalion and a soldier of the Shaked Battalion who were listed in serious condition, the Israel Defense Forces said.More than 10 rockets were fired from the Rafah area in southern Gaza in the attack, according to the IDF.The Hamas terror group said it had launched a barrage of short-range rockets at a gathering of Israeli troops on the border, near the southern community of Kerem Shalom.Most of the rockets struck an area where troops were gathered on the border, not far from the Kerem Shalom border crossing, which has been used to deliver thousands of truckloads of humanitarian aid to Gaza amid the war.The soldiers had been guarding military equipment that was brought to the area for the IDF’s planned offensive in Rafah.The victims were taken to hospitals by ambulance, aside from one who was airlifted.The military was investigating why the Iron Dome air defense system did not engage the barrage.Sirens had also sounded in Kerem Shalom during the attack, and one of the rockets hit a home in the community. Towns close to the enclave have been largely evacuated of civilians since the devastating Hamas-led onslaught on October 7.The IDF said it had shuttered the Kerem Shalom Crossing for humanitarian aid trucks following the attack.According to the military, the rocket attack was carried out from an area close to the Rafah Crossing with Egypt, some 350 meters from a civilian shelter.The IDF said the attack was “another clear example of the systematic exploitation that the Hamas terror organization makes of humanitarian facilities and spaces for terror needs, while using the civilian population as a human shield.”The IDF also carried out strikes in Rafah in response, including hitting the launchers and an adjacent building used by Hamas, the military said.According to health officials in the Hamas-controlled enclave, one airstrike hit a house in Rafah, killing seven people.Another strike just before midnight, the officials claimed, killed nine Palestinians, including a baby, in another house in a different part of Rafah.“The toll of martyrs in Rafah reached 16,” AFP quoted Gazan first responders as saying.More than a million Palestinian civilians are sheltering in Gaza’s southernmost city, considered to be the Hamas terror group’s last major redoubt.Israel has repeatedly indicated it could launch an offensive in Rafah imminently should talks for a truce and hostage deal talks break down.During a visit Sunday to the central Gaza Strip, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Israel had identified signs that Hamas was not interested in a hostage deal, and in turn, the military would launch its offensive in Rafah in “the very near future.”“We have clear goals for this war, we are committed to the elimination of Hamas and the release of the hostages. We have given [Hamas] time and we wanted to reach a situation where we would realize the release of the hostages as quickly as possible, with a certain delay in the operational action, because the hostages are in a difficult situation and we need to make every effort to release them,” Gallant said to troops in central Gaza’s Netzarim Corridor.“We have identified alarming signs that Hamas actually does not intend to go for any agreement framework with us. The meaning of this [is] action in Rafah and the entire Gaza Strip in the very near future,” he said.Also Sunday, a Hamas command and control center based out of a UNRWA facility in the central Gaza Strip was targeted in an airstrike, the Israeli military and Shin Bet security agency said.According to a joint statement, the site was used by Hamas as a staging ground to direct numerous attacks against Israeli troops in the Netzarim Corridor and against humanitarian aid deliveries.According to the military, the command center was also used to supply dozens of operatives with weapons, including members of the terror group in tunnels.“The attack was carefully planned and carried out using precise weaponry to avoid as much harm as possible to uninvolved [civilians],” the IDF said.“The Hamas terror organization systematically exploits international institutions and the civilian population as a human shield for terror actions against the State of Israel,” the IDF added.Earlier Sunday, the military said it had killed a senior Hamas commander in the terror group’s Bureij Battalion was killed in a recent airstrike.The IDF said that Saleh Jamil Muhammad Imad, head of the Bureij Battalion’s combat support unit, was killed alongside several other Hamas operatives at the targeted site in central Gaza. Another airstrike killed three Hamas terrorists, members of the group’s elite Nukhba force, who participated in the October 7 onslaught, according to the IDF.The IDF said a separate strike in northern Gaza’s Jabaliya killed three Hamas operatives, including a deputy company commander.Overnight, the IDF carried out artillery shelling against a Hamas rocket launching site in Gaza that the military said was primed for attacks on southern Israel.Fighter jets also hit several more sites across Gaza, including buildings used by terror groups, weapon depots and other infrastructure, the IDF said. One of the buildings was struck after a sniper was identified in it, according to the army.The airstrikes came as ground troops of the 99th Division continued to operate in central Gaza’s Netzarim Corridor.Israel says it has killed at least 13,000 fighters inside Gaza, along with around 1,000 killed inside Israel on October 7 and in the days immediately after.Gaza’s Hamas-controlled health ministry says over 34,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Israeli offensive, a figure which cannot be confirmed. The ministry does not differentiate between civilians and combatants.Agencies contributed to this report.

PM rejects 'extreme' demands, reiterates war goals-Hamas departs Cairo as latest hostage, truce talks said to be nearing ‘collapse’
CIA chief heads to Qatar, will then come to Israel, in bid to keep negotiations alive, as Hamas official speaks of ‘decision line,’ while Israeli leaders suggest Rafah op is near-By Agencies and ToI Staff 5 May 2024, 11:31 pm

The latest round of Gaza truce and hostage deal talks ended in Cairo after “in-depth and serious discussions,” the Hamas terror group said Sunday, reiterating key demands that Israel rejected, dimming hopes for an agreement.Israel did not send a delegation to the talks mediated by Egypt and Qatar, and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Sunday afternoon that “we see signs that Hamas does not intend to go to any agreement.”Egyptian state media reported that the Hamas delegation left Cairo for discussions in Qatar, where the group has a political office, after submitting its response to a proposal to mediators, and will return to Egypt for further negotiations on Tuesday.In their second day of talks with Egyptian and Qatari mediators, Hamas negotiators maintained their stance that any agreement on a release of hostages must end the war, Palestinian officials said. Israel has repeatedly rejected this demand.CIA director Bill Burns meanwhile was headed to Doha for “emergency” talks on mediation efforts with Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani, a source with knowledge of the discussions told AFP.After that, he will travel to Israel and meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the negotiating team, senior Israeli officials told the Walla news site, adding that Burns, along with the other mediators, is trying to prevent the talks from imploding.One official briefed on the talks told Reuters: “The latest round of mediation in Cairo is near to collapse.” In a conflicting report, a senior Hamas official told Channel 12 that the talks were not collapsing but at the “decision line.”The proposal that Egyptian mediators had put to Hamas sets out a three-stage process. It reportedly includes a first phase lasting up to 40 days, in which at least 33 of 128 hostages held in Gaza would be released, along with an IDF withdrawal from parts of the Strip. The first phase would allow for the return of Palestinians to northern Gaza and the release of hundreds of Palestinian security prisoners in exchange for hostages. The potential second phase would last for 42 days and see the release of all other living hostages and the sides completing arrangements for sustainable calm in Gaza. The third and final phase, which would see an exchange of bodies, would also last 42 days.The Hamas source told Channel 12 that the terror group was concerned that the United States would allow Israel to operate against Hamas and its leaders even after a truce deal. The official claimed that while the terror group was not insisting on controlling the government of the Strip, its leaders, such as Yahya Sinwar, did not want to be vulnerable to attack.The official also said that rumors that Qatar may boot Hamas’s political leadership from Doha were not affecting the negotiations and that they could move to a hotel “in Malaysia or Istanbul. ”Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, under pressure from hard-liners in his government, continued on Sunday to lower expectations for a truce deal, calling the key Hamas demands “extreme” — including the withdrawal of Israel forces from Gaza and an end to the war. That would equal surrender after the terror group’s devastating onslaught on October 7 that triggered the fighting, Netanyahu said.The senior Hamas official told Channel 12 that Netanyahu’s declarations that the military would invade Rafah, Hamas’s last stronghold, no matter what agreement is reached showed that the prime minister would return to fighting after the first stage of a deal, and caused the terror group to doubt US commitments to bring an end to the fighting.Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in a statement earlier said the terror group was serious and positive about the negotiations and that stopping so-called Israeli aggression in Gaza was the main priority.But Israel’s government again vowed to press on with a military operation in Rafah, the southernmost Gaza city on the border with Egypt where more than half of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents now seek shelter from Israeli attacks. Rafah is also a key entry point for aid entering via Egypt.Netanyahu claimed that Israel has shown willingness to make concessions but said it “will continue fighting until all of its objectives are achieved.” That includes the stated aim of crushing Hamas. Israel says it must target Rafah to strike the remaining terror battalions there, despite warnings from the US and others about the danger to civilians, and to ensure that Hamas cannot return to smuggling in military materials from across the border with Egypt.Israel believes that 128 hostages, both living and dead, who were abducted by Hamas on October 7 remain in Gaza. During a weeklong truce in November, 105 civilians were released from Hamas captivity, with four hostages released prior to that. Three hostages were rescued by troops alive, and the bodies of 12 hostages have been recovered from the Strip, including three mistakenly killed by the military.The IDF has confirmed the deaths of 35 of those hostages still held by Hamas, citing new intelligence and findings obtained by troops operating in Gaza. Hamas is also holding the bodies of fallen IDF soldiers Oron Shaul and Hadar Goldin since 2014, as well as two Israeli civilians, Avera Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed, who are both thought to be alive after entering the Strip of their own accord in 2014 and 2015 respectively.

Police investigate series of at least 4 bomb threats at New York City synagogues-One community evacuated, building cleared; emailed threats deemed not credible by authorities; Brooklyn Museum also gets message threatening to blow up nearby subway station-By Lisa Keys 5 May 2024, 10:57 pm

New York Jewish Week via JTA — Authorities are investigating a series of bomb threats at New York City synagogues and cultural institutions on Saturday. At least four synagogues and one museum received the emailed threats, which were deemed not credible by the New York City Police Department.The Upper West Side’s Reform Congregation Rodeph Sholom was targeted, along with the LGBTQ-oriented Congregation Beit Simchat Torah on West 30th Street, Chabad of Midtown on Fifth Avenue, and Brooklyn Heights Synagogue on Remsen Street.Police told CBS News that the threatened locations “all received emails stating that explosives were present in the buildings or nearby.”At least one of the synagogues was evacuated; in a message posted to its Facebook page, Congregation Rodeph Shalom wrote: “The NYPD 20th Precinct asked us to evacuate the building as a precaution. Following a thorough search, the building was deemed clear. We are grateful for the response from the NYPD, who, in partnership with our professional security team, completed a thorough investigation of the situation.”CBS News also reports that that the Brooklyn Museum received an email threatening to blow up the nearby Eastern Parkway/Brooklyn Museum subway station. The MTA said an “unusual package” was found outside the station, but subway service was not affected.On X, Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine called the threats “a clear effort to sow fear in the Jewish community,” as well as a hate crime that’s “part of a growing trend of ‘swatting’ incidents targeting Jewish institutions.”Update: Now at least 4 synagogues in Manhattan have received bomb threats. None thankfully deemed to be credible.But this is a clear effort to sow fear in the Jewish community. Cannot be accepted. https://t.co/IbdMRSo9To— Mark D. Levine (@MarkLevineNYC) May 5, 2024-Gov. Kathy Hocul also took to X to address the incidents, saying that New York “will not tolerate individuals sowing fear & antisemitism, ” and adding that “those responsible must be held accountable for their despicable actions.”We are actively monitoring a number of bomb threats at synagogues in New York. Threats have been determined not to be credible, but we will not tolerate individuals sowing fear & antisemitism. Those responsible must be held accountable for their despicable actions.— Governor Kathy Hochul (@GovKathyHochul) May 4, 2024“This is not peaceful, this is not lawful and this is not normal and this is happening on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day,” Mark Treyger, the new CEO of the Jewish Community Relations Council, told the New York Post. “This is a dangerous escalation of what we’ve already been seeing in the rest of the country.”Yom Hashoah, Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day, began Sunday evening.“This is not isolated from the bigger, hostile climate right now against Jewish people,” added Treyger, who is the grandson of Holocaust survivors.Antisemitic incidents across New York City have spiked dramatically since the war in Gaza began, sparked by Hamas’s October 7 massacre in southern Israel. According to the most recent figures released by the NYPD, since the start of October through March 2024, 253 antisemitic incidents have been reported to police — an increase of 85 percent over the 137 anti-Jewish crimes reported during the same period last year.There were 43 antisemitic incidents in the five boroughs reported to police last month. The NYPD is continuing to investigate Saturday’s false threats.

Trump accuses Biden of ‘running a Gestapo administration’ to win elections-In audio recording from private address to donors heard by US media outlets, Republican presidential candidate also attacks prosecutors involved in his criminal indictments-By Doina Chiacu 5 May 2024, 10:01 pm

WASHINGTON (Reuters) — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump accused Democratic rival US President Joe Biden of running a “Gestapo administration,” in a private address to donors in which he also attacked prosecutors involved in his criminal indictments, according to a recording heard by US media outlets.Trump, whose own rhetoric has drawn accusations of fascist tendencies from civil rights groups and other critics, made the comparison with the Nazi police in Germany’s World War II regime at a donor retreat Saturday night at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.The comments came after Trump reprised his complaint that the multiple indictments against him were politically motivated. He had just concluded 11 days of a New York hush money trial in which he is charged with falsifying business records to cover up a $130,000 payment made to a porn star.“These people are running a Gestapo administration,” Trump said, according to an audio recording heard by the New York Times and the Washington Post. “And it’s the only thing they have. And it’s the only way they’re going to win, in their opinion, and it’s actually killing them. But it doesn’t bother me.”The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment on the reported remarks.The former US president, who held office from 2017 to 2021, faces an array of legal troubles in criminal and civil cases while he seeks to regain the presidency in the November 5 election. He denies wrong doing in all the cases.Trump has made a series of inflammatory and racist statements on the campaign trail, using violent imagery to lambaste immigrants and opponents. He has warned of violence if he does not win the 2024 election and has compared immigrants to animals.In November, Biden attacked Trump for using the word “vermin” to refer to his political enemies, saying it echoed the language of Nazi Germany. Also last year, Trump said immigrants who entered the country illegally were “poisoning the blood of our country. ”Some historians say such comments mirror that of autocrats who have sought to dehumanize their foes. The Trump campaign has previously rejected comparisons to Nazis, Adolf Hitler, and Italy’s Benito Mussolini.The Biden campaign said the reported comments underscored the Republican candidate’s anger and desire for revenge.“Trump is once again making despicable and insulting comments about the Holocaust, while in the same breath attacking law enforcement, celebrating political violence, and threatening our democracy,” spokesperson James Singer said in a statement.On Saturday night, Trump used expletives to refer to US Special Counsel Jack Smith, according to the reports, and mocked the Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis, who is prosecuting a state election interference case.Smith, a frequent Trump target, is the prosecutor handling the federal cases involving efforts to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss to Biden and the former president’s handling of classified government material.Trump, a former New York businessman and reality television host, described Mexican immigrants as rapists and drug smugglers as he declared his candidacy for the Republican nomination in the 2016 election. He drew widespread criticism after a violent 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, for equating white supremacists with counterprotesters and saying “both sides” were to blame.Biden has said the events in Charlottesville, where one woman was killed, motivated him to run for president against Trump in 2020.
