| Trump says he ‘shouldn’t have left’ White House, wouldn’t mind if reporters are shot |
 |
|
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump suggested at a rally in Pennsylvania on Sunday that he “shouldn’t have left” the White House after his 2020 loss to Democrat Joe Biden, and said he wouldn’t mind if someone shot reporters at the campaign event. In a meandering 90-minute rally speech two days before Tuesday’s US presidential election, Trump attacked the news media at length, at one point gesturing to TV cameras and saying, “ABC, it’s ABC, fake news, CBS, ABC, NBC. These are, these are, in my opinion, in my opinion, these are seriously corrupt people.” The former US president noted that there were gaps in the ballistic glass around him. Some of the members of the press following Trump at the event in Lititz had a sight line through one of the gaps. Trump has escaped two attempted assassinations this year, including being grazed in the ear by a gunman’s bullet during a July rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, after which he has been spoken behind bulletproof glass at campaign events. Surveying the gaps, Trump said: “To get me, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news and I don’t mind that so much.” After the comment, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung issued a statement saying Trump was looking out for the media’s safety: “The president’s statement about protective glass placement has nothing to do with the media being harmed, or anything else. It was about threats against him that were spurred on by dangerous rhetoric from Democrats,” the statement said. |

| Iran to use more powerful warheads, ‘other weapons’ in planned attack on Israel — report |
 |
|
Iran is preparing an attack on Israel that will use more powerful warheads and “other weapons” not used in its previous two attacks, Iranian and Arab officials briefed on the plans tell The Wall Street Journal. An Egyptian official tells The Journal that Tehran warned Cairo privately that its response to Israel’s airstrikes on its territory on October 26 — which was in retaliation for the Islamic Republic’s October 1 ballistic missile attack — will be “strong and complex.” An Iranian official reportedly says that because its military lost four soldiers and a civilian, there is a necessity to respond. The report says Iran’s military will be involved in the operation, marking a departure from the April 13-14 and October 1 missile attacks which were carried out by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The official says the attack will target Israeli military sites “much more aggressively than last time,” and that Iraqi territory may be used to launch projectiles.

| IDF says commandos captured man in Syria gathering intel on border for Iran |
 |
|
Israeli commandos recently carried out a raid in southern Syria where they captured a Syrian man who was allegedly carrying surveillance operations on the border on behalf of Iran, the IDF reveals. According to the IDF, the raid in Syria was carried out in recent months by the Egoz commando unit, along with field interrogators of the Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 504. The commandos captured Ali Suleiman al-Asi, a Syrian man who lived in the village of Saida, in the Daraa Governorate. The IDF says that the man worked on behalf of Iran, and was involved in collecting intelligence on the Israeli military’s operations along the Syrian border, “for future terror activity.” The military was “closely monitoring” al-Asi before he was captured and taken to Israel for questioning. His arrest has “prevented and disrupted a future attack and led to the exposure of the modus operandi of Iranian entities on the Golan Heights front,” the IDF says. The IDF releases footage from al-Asi’s interrogation, where he says that he was approached by a man who told him: “Your area is good, strategic, we can get something from this.” Al-Asi says that the man was “linked to Iran.” The detained Syrian man tells Israeli interrogators that he was instructed by the Iranian-linked man to “just observe the borders,” while under the guise of Syria’s military intelligence, and pass on information on Israeli patrols. |

| At northern border, Netanyahu vows to restore security in north ‘with or without an agreement’ |
 |
|
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu toured the northern border and held a situational assessment on operations against Hezbollah today with top military commanders, his office says. During the visit, Netanyahu said that “with or without an agreement” with Lebanon, restoring security in the north and returning residents to their homes requires pushing Hezbollah north of the Litani River, preventing the terror group from rearming and responding to any activity against Israel. “In simple words: enforcement, enforcement, enforcement,” he says adding it was also important to cut off Hezbollah’s “oxygen” from Iran through Syria. Netanyahu thanked reservists for their achievements, noting their long absence from their everyday lives and their families during the war. |
