EARLY BIRD RAFFLE – Win $12,000.00 CASH!!

After six days of ignoring the glaring facts, Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi, 22, has finally been charged with felony terrorism and hate crime charges for shooting and wounding a Jewish man in the West Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago last Shabbos. The victim, 39, was shot by the illegal migrant who was released by federal authorities, while walking to shul Shabbos morning on the city’s North Side.

According to Chicago Police Department Chief Larry Snelling, Abdallahi fired multiple shots at the victim before opening fire on responding police officers and paramedics from various locations. Officers returned fire, striking Abdallahi, who remains hospitalized.

A group representing 1,400 private schools will press ahead with plans for a legal challenge against the government’s introduction of VAT from January, the BBC can reveal.

In a board meeting on Thursday, the Independent Schools Council (ISC), the body which includes most independent schools in the UK, voted to pave the way for legal action.

Lord David Pannick KC, one of the country’s leading barristers in cases relating to government decisions, is to lead the challenge which will be brought on behalf of parents, including those with children with special educational needs and disabilities (Send).

A Treasury spokesperson told the BBC they do not comment on potential litigation matters.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves confirmed private schools would no longer be exempt from VAT in the autumn Budget, saying the money raised would help “provide the highest quality of support and teaching” in the state sector.

The government has estimated it would raise £460m extra to spend on state schools next year, rising to £1.7bn by 2029/30.

The ISC is hoping for a judicial review of the government’s policy, which will focus around claims of breaches of the European Convention on Human Rights.

The action will be brought around Article 14, the prohibition of discrimination, and Article 2 of the First Protocol, the right to education.

At least 158 people have died in Spain’s worst flooding disaster in generations as rescuers battle odds to find survivors.

On Thursday more than 1,200 workers, aided by drones, were deployed to the rescue mission as rains continued to threaten parts of the country.

“Right now the most important thing is to save as many lives as possible,” Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez told victims in a visit to affected communities.

But in some of the towns worst- hit in Tuesday night’s floods, people were left to the task of recovering bodies from the mud and wreckage.
A least 155 deaths were recorded in Valencia, while another two have been recorded in Castilla-La Mancha to the province’s west, and another, a British man, in Andalusia.

In the town of Paiporta, Valencia where a river burst its banks, at least 40 deaths have been recorded so far.

“We all know someone who has died,” said pharmacist Miguel Guerrilla, standing outside his chemist shop which has been covered in thick mud.

“It’s a nightmare.”

On Thursday, the BBC saw undertakers and funeral vans retrieving bodies from the street, while on nearby roads, cars swept away by the storm surge were piled on top of each other.

Motorists have recounted the horror of being trapped by the surging tides on Tuesday which turned highways and streets into rivers – many who survived climbed trees or bridges to escape.

HAVE YOU SUFFERED?

Israeli intelligence suggests Iran is preparing to attack Israel from Iraqi territory in the coming days, possibly before the US presidential election on November 5, Axios reports, citing two unidentified Israeli sources.

The attack is expected to be carried out from Iraq using a large number of drones and ballistic missiles, the Axios report adds.

The report says that carrying out the attack through pro-Iran militias in Iraq could be an attempt by Tehran to avoid another Israeli attack against strategic targets in Iran.

There were also attacks in southern Lebanon that killed at least 19 people. Israel’s military said the strikes were aimed at Hezbollah targets. They came on the same day the Lebanese health ministry said a case of cholera had been detected in the north, a sign of deteriorating conditions.

Five people were critically injured and later declared dead hy”d in a Thursday morning Hezbollah rocket attack on the fields near Metula in northern Israel. An additional person was seriously injured in the strike, according to an Arutz Sheva report.The dead men are an Israeli farmer and four foreign workers. They were injured when two rockets exploded in an orchard, and about an hour after MDA arrived at the scene, they were declared dead.

Earlier, Magen David Adom (MDA) Director General Eli Bin said, “We are coordinating with the military to receive the injured. Some of the injured were transferred directly by the army to a safe place. This is definitely a serious incident.”

The IDF has confirmed a series of airstrikes on weapons storage facilities and command centers used by Hezbollah’s Radwan Forces and Munitions Unit in Al-Qusayr, Syria. According to IDF intelligence, these strikes by the Israeli Air Force aim to disrupt Hezbollah’s operations in the area.

In recent months, the IDF has ramped up strikes to curb weapon transfers from Iran through Syria into Hezbollah-controlled areas in Lebanon. Typically storing arms in Lebanon, Hezbollah’s Munitions Unit has expanded its logistics base to Al-Qusayr, near the Syrian-Lebanese border, enabling weapon smuggling across the border.

This operation is part of a broader IDF campaign against Hezbollah’s Unit 4400, which manages smuggling routes from Iran through Syria into Lebanon. Recent IDF strikes have targeted these border crossings to halt the flow of munitions and reduce threats to Israel.

The IDF has accused Hezbollah of placing command centers in populated civilian areas with the support of the Syrian government, compromising the safety of local populations in both Syria and Lebanon.
