A mother and her children were attacked by terrorists in an attempted lynching in Kiryat Arba after encountering a stone barricade outside their neighborhood.
The family ran into a roadblock of stones set up outside the neighborhood where they live, and ‘Palestinian’ terrorists attacked them with boulders, bricks and rocks. The local security coordinator arrived quickly, but the attackers threw a rock at his head. He responded by firing warning shots into the air.
All the terrorists fled the scene. Four people were injured in the attack.
Anthropic, the AI giant behind the Claude chatbot, is in advanced talks to acquire Israeli startup Decart AI in a deal valued at around $6 billion, according to reports published in Bloomberg and international media. If completed, the acquisition would mark the largest in Anthropic’s history—the company considered OpenAI’s main rival—and rank among Israel’s most significant tech deals in recent years.

Decart AI was founded only in 2023 by Israeli engineers Dr. Dean Leitersdorf, Orian Leitersdorf, and Moshe Shalev, and quickly achieved extraordinary global success. The company specializes in developing infrastructure and optimization technologies for artificial intelligence, alongside visual models that enable real-time video creation and processing at unprecedented speeds. Among other innovations, the company developed the “Lucy” model, capable of editing live video, and the “Oasis” model, which generates simulated environments for training and testing robotics and autonomous driving systems. For Anthropic, the potential acquisition comes at a critical time, as the company prepares for a stock market IPO and works to expand its computing power. Decart’s technology helps chips operate far more efficiently, which could significantly reduce the training costs of AI models and help Anthropic handle the massive surge in demand for its services. If the deal closes, Decart’s engineering team is expected to integrate into Anthropic’s scale and performance division—the department responsible for the model’s real-time performance.

Decart has already earned the trust of industry giants. Last May, the company raised $300 million in a funding round that included chip giant Nvidia, alongside leading venture firms like Sequoia and Benchmark. Despite the advanced talks, sources familiar with the matter emphasize that discussions are still in early stages and there’s a possibility the deal won’t ultimately go through. At this stage, both Anthropic and Decart have declined to provide official comment on the reports about their negotiations.
The Magistrate’s Court on Thursday issued a full gag order on all details surrounding the investigation into the disappearance of Mali and Liel Yaalomi in the Austrian capital, following a petition by the YALAK unit within Lahav 433. Overnight, primary oversight of the case was transferred to the special unit due to the circumstances of the disappearance; family members have already provided detailed testimony to investigators to help reconstruct the women’s route since last Friday.

Despite mounting fears, Vienna Police informed Channel 14 yesterday that, at this stage, there is no indication of third-party criminal involvement, and cellular location signals for the two were pinpointed on Saturday within the city. Mali, 50, and her daughter Liel, 23, were last seen in the area of the central Naschmarkt in Vienna, where all trace of them was lost. The mother and daughter were ticketed for an El Al flight scheduled to fly from Prague to Tel Aviv, but despite hopes, they failed to board the flight and have made no credit card transactions since vanishing. Our Europe correspondent, Nati Langermann, reported that contrary to early rumors, the two did not visit the local Chabad House, did not register for prayers at city synagogues, and did not order Shabbat meals at any local kosher restaurants.

Parallel to the investigative efforts by Lahav 433, the Israeli Embassy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs continue to coordinate closely with local enforcement authorities in Austria.Meanwhile, members of the local Jewish community launched an extensive search effort to trace their whereabouts. However, senior figures within the Jewish community present an assessment differing from initial fears.According to community officials, there is currently no indication that the two were targeted because they are Israeli or Jewish, and the possibility remains that they chose to temporarily disconnect on their own accord—an assessment aligning with local Vienna police estimates.Search efforts continue under the active gag order
Jared Kushner, former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior advisor who’s credited as one of the architects of the Abraham Accords, posted Thursday evening marking six years since the diplomatic initiative that transformed relations between Israel and Arab states in the region—and sent an optimistic message about the possibility of additional diplomatic breakthroughs.

“Six years ago, President Trump launched the Abraham Accords, opening a new chapter of peace, partnership and prosperity in the Middle East,” Kushner wrote. “Many said it was impossible. But with bold leadership, persistence and a small group of people willing to challenge old assumptions, we proved that even what seems impossible can be achieved.”
Kushner criticized the diplomatic approaches that preceded the accords, arguing that for years the region had been “trapped in outdated thinking and failed frameworks” that managed conflicts rather than resolving them and, at times, created incentives that perpetuated division and instability.

According to Kushner, the principle underlying the Abraham Accords was a shift away from focusing on disagreements and toward building shared interests. “Instead of reinforcing the things that divide people, build connections that bring them closer together,” he wrote, pointing to expanded trade and investment, deeper security cooperation and greater understanding between the sides.
Kushner noted that the vision presented six years ago has already produced billions of dollars in trade, shared innovation, new friendships and partnerships—and offered what he described as “a powerful alternative to the failed approaches of the past.”

But the most intriguing part of Kushner’s message concerned what could come next. Kushner argued that the Middle East is once again at a turning point, hinting at the possibility of significant new diplomatic developments across the region. “Today, there are opportunities for breakthroughs that many will say are impossible,” he wrote. “But we have already seen what can happen when leaders reject conventional thinking, focus on shared interests and find the courage to act for a better future.”
According to Kushner, there is now an opportunity to expand the Abraham Accords model and build “an even broader movement” based on cooperation, shared prosperity and security.
He concluded with a message likely to draw attention amid ongoing efforts to expand the circle of normalization across the Middle East: “We surprised the world once. With the right leadership, focus, patience and courage, I believe we can do it again.”
El Al announced today (Thursday) that it has been forced to cancel the launch of its direct route to Hanoi, Vietnam, which was scheduled to begin operating this October.
The reason: Israeli security authorities operating under the guidance of the Shin Bet (ISA, aka Israel Security Agency) and responsible for securing Israeli aviation did not grant the approvals required to operate the route.

The announcement comes after El Al had already unveiled the new destination, opened the flights for sale and sold tickets to passengers. The airline stressed that before announcing the route, it had worked to obtain the necessary approvals and, according to the company, had received preliminary authorization from the relevant authorities—including security officials.
However, after El Al completed its operational and commercial preparations for the route and invested what it described as “enormous resources,” security authorities informed the airline that the necessary approvals could not be granted for flights operated using Israeli aircraft and crews. “In the absence of the security approvals required to operate the route as planned, there was no choice but to cancel its launch,” El Al said.

The airline apologized to passengers who had already purchased tickets and announced a flexible change policy. Affected passengers will be offered several options: flying to Hanoi through Bangkok, with the connecting flight operated by a foreign airline at no additional cost; switching to another destination among El Al’s available routes on the same dates at no additional charge; or receiving a full refund or credit voucher for future use.
The flights will be canceled gradually according to their originally scheduled departure dates, and affected customers are expected to begin receiving individual notifications next week.
Haifa Port – Thousands of tons of military equipment arrived in Israel this morning (Thursday) aboard a cargo ship from the United States, as part of a special procurement and transportation operation conducted by the Defense Ministry and the IDF.
The cargo unloaded at Haifa Port includes critical D9 bulldozers, Humvees, armored JLTV vehicles, Oshkosh trucks and extensive additional equipment intended to strengthen the readiness and operational continuity of Israel’s ground forces. The military equipment was purchased by the Israeli Defense Ministry’s procurement mission in the United States.

The shipment also underscores a frequently overlooked aspect of U.S.-Israel defense ties. While American support for Israel is often portrayed simply as money handed to the Jewish state, Israel purchases vast amounts of military equipment from American manufacturers, including through U.S. military assistance programs structured to direct much of that spending back into the American defense industry.
The partnership therefore not only strengthens Israel’s security, but channels billions of dollars into U.S. defense companies, supporting American production and jobs.
The military shipment arrived following a report by C14 correspondent Hallel Bitton Rosen that Israeli forces in Jenin arrested a three-member terrorist cell that had allegedly planned to carry out a major attack Thursday in northern Samaria. The soldiers’ swift arrest of the suspects prevented a potential disaster, and the three were transferred to security forces for further interrogation.
The attack in Samaria may have been stopped in time—and with thousands of tons of new equipment now strengthening Israel’s forces, the country is better armed to make sure the next one is stopped too.
The hysterical rush by Israelis and parts of the Israeli media to champion the ‘besieged Palestinians’ in Qusra is a display of embarrassing and sad Israeli-Jewish ignorance. Let me reveal what those ‘Palestinians’ in Qusra and the surrounding area actually think of you—hysterical Israelis, moral crusaders, knights of the ‘settler violence’ campaign, ‘Breaker of Chains’ in their name.
I’ll whisper this so don’t tell anyone: but if you call the ‘bad Jews’ there ‘settlers,’ it won’t change a thing for the Arab enemy in the Judea and Samaria who also calls you—lofty Israelis—’settlers.’ Yes: you are ‘settlers’ even when you’re sitting in your homes wherever they may be in the Land of Israel, and even when you’re sitting in your cafes in the enlightened strongholds of ‘historic Palestine’ (as it’s called by the population you’re defending). There too, to the enemy, you’re no different from any other Jewish ‘settler.’ You’re just useful idiots who, in the name of political desires and internal Israeli tendencies, are helping the Arab enemy in the long-running international ‘Palestinian’ campaign to turn the Jew into a bloodthirsty monster. The failed attempt to cleanse your oh-so-moral Jewish conscience by rushing to help an enemy population by nature is simply embarrassing and mainly reflects colonialist racism and ignorance that could blow up in all our faces (see: parts of the Gaza envelope communities who wanted good neighborly relations with Hamas’s Gaza on the eve of 10/7).

A recommendation: In the ‘territories,’ many other incidents happen every single day. Try reporting on what happens there even when it’s done against your Jewish brothers. I heard there are occasional… daily murder attempts against members of your people worth reporting on. Nothing written above justifies or expresses support for any act of violence or violation of the law whatsoever. But what is said here is a wake-up call—the Arabs of the Judea and Samaria are an enemy population that at the first opportunity to attack us Hamas-style on the day of the massacre—will do it. Nothing written above justifies or expresses support for any act of violence or violation of the law whatsoever. But what is said here is a wake-up call—the Arabs of the Judea and Samaria are an enemy population that at the first opportunity to attack us Hamas-style on the day of the massacre—will do it. Wake up.
The IDF announced Thursday that Israeli forces killed a Hamas terrorist in an airstrike in the Khan Younis area. The terrorist planned and advanced terror attacks against Israeli forces operating in the Gaza Strip. According to reports on Arab networks, the terrorist’s name is Jamal Abu Kamil who aslo worked as Gaza Governorate Police Chief .

The strike follows additional Israeli Air Force attacks last night in northern Gaza. Those strikes targeted a cell leader in Hamas’s military wing who also advanced and planned terror attacks against Israeli forces. The operations come against a backdrop of repeated violations of the Gaza agreement.

As we reported, several infiltration incidents have been recorded recently. In one incident, Hamas terrorists crossed into the Yellow Line zone, stole engineering equipment, and returned to the Red zone after Israeli forces were not authorized to eliminate them.

In the past week alone, more than 65 crossings were recorded—three times the number recorded since the political echelon’s directive to hold fire. As a reminder, Board of Peace Secretary-General Nikolai Mladenov announced last night the activation of a mechanism to monitor violations of the Gaza agreement, and clarified that any violation that occurs will be dealt with.
Social media platform X recently suspended the account of Yahya Saree, chief spokesperson for the Houthi terrorist organization, after the senior operative violated the platform’s terms of service. According to reports, the terrorist’s account was suspended due to his direct incitement to violence, targeting of civilians and infrastructure, and dissemination of misleading content.

The account suspension comes at a time when conflict between Saudi Arabia, the internationally recognized Yemeni government, and the Houthi terrorist group escalates daily. Following a period of relative calm, heavy fighting resumed last month—resulting in dozens of casualties on all sides, alongside severe damage to energy and civilian infrastructure. In recent years, Yahya Saree transitioned from an obscure figure into a familiar face among Israelis after the terrorist organization entered the war, launching ballistic missiles toward Israel. The spokesperson repeatedly threatened the country and published propaganda videos depicting military drills that simulated a Houthi invasion and occupation of Israeli cities. Throughout the conflict, Israel has repeatedly struck Houthi targets, concentrating heavy strikes on the capital of Sana’a and Hudaydah Port.
In the past 24 hours, Israeli and international media have been flooded with screaming headlines about a supposed “siege” Israelis are imposing on the village of Qusra. These images, echoing rapidly around the world and creating a spectacle of defamation against the State of Israel, are part of a well-oiled marketing machine.

The Israeli and global left have become world champions at branding. Through wokeness, they succeed time and again in turning pursuers into the pursued and the cruel into the pitiful. We saw this with the “Gaza starvation” fabrication, and now we’re seeing the exact same playbook in Judea and Samaria.
To understand what’s really happening on the ground, you need to look at the strategic process the area has undergone. After 30 years of defensive culture and containment—a legacy of the Oslo Accords in which Jews were confined inside community fences and behind concrete barriers on the roads—a transformation has occurred.

The fundamental change is the shifting of the “contact line.” In the past, friction occurred at the gates of Jewish communities, at bus stops, or on the margins of main roads. There, rioters and terrorists felt free to roam, attack, and terrorize. Today, the reality is different: the friction line has moved from the edges of our roads to the borders of Arab villages.
The central tool in this shift is the establishment of dozens of “isolated outposts” in open territory, in the style of the Sycamore Farm that Ariel Sharon established in the Negev in the 1990s. These outposts demonstrate Jewish presence on the ground and effectively create a security buffer or “yellow line” that distances the danger from civilians in the established Jewish communities. Similar to the operational model in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria, a security zone has been created in Judea and Samaria that prevents the enemy from reaching the first line of homes.

It’s important to remember who we’re dealing with: most Arabs in Judea and Samaria are Hamas supporters. These are the same people who cheered the murderous massacre on October 7, and if only they were given the opportunity to recreate the horrors of Be’eri in the Jewish mountain ridge communities or in Bat Hefer—they wouldn’t hesitate for a moment.
So why does the world see a “siege”? Because the images being distributed in global media are the 2026 model of the Gaza starvation lie. This is a film they always show us from the middle, focusing only on the scene chosen by the progressive director. The camera will never show the first act: the rioters from the villages who come out to provoke the shepherds, the attempts to attack the outposts, and the daily threats to Jewish lives in the area.
