Is someone you know waiting for a refuah?

A suspected arson attack at the renowned Adass Shul has left the Jewish community in shock. At approximately 4:10 a.m. local time, two individuals learning inside the shul heard banging at the door. Opening it to find out what the commotion was, two masked men stormed in, poured gasoline over the front of the shul and set it on fire. The shul, one of the most famous in Australia, is a central hub for the Orthodox Jewish community.

The two people who had been learning inside the shul at the time were bichasdei Hashem unharmed. Emergency services responded quickly, with approximately 70 firefighters battling the blaze, which was extinguished after about an hour. However, the building and surrounding streets remain closed due to ongoing investigations.

Baruch Hashem, no injuries have been reported. However, the status of the sifrei Torah remains unclear. The shul features fireproof aron kodesh in its main Shul, providing hope that the Sifrei Torah were spared significant damage.

In the meantime, Yeshiva Chabad has graciously opened its mikveh, and the Yeshiva Ketana building is hosting minyanim, including a Cheder Minyan at 7:00 a.m. Despite the disruption, the community is rallying to maintain their Minyan schedules.

Adass Shul, which typically hosts minyanim every 30 minutes from Netz until mid-morning, serves hundreds of Mispallim daily.

Authorities are investigating the attack as a hate crime, and CCTV footage is being handed to police.

The Israel Defense Forces warned some 30 soldiers and officers who fought in the Gaza Strip to avoid traveling abroad after anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian groups filed complaints against them for alleged war crimes, according to a Wednesday report.

In eight cases, soldiers who did travel abroad were immediately told to return over fears they would be arrested or questioned by the country they were visiting, the Ynet news site reported. The soldiers were visiting Cyprus, Slovenia, and the Netherlands.

The IDF does not bar soldiers from traveling abroad, but it does conduct a “risk assessment” for troops who served in Gaza before approving their request, the report said.

IDF reservists who fought in Gaza are being advised to first check with the Foreign Ministry regarding the level of danger in any country they wish to visit.

Officials are concerned that aside from local legal actions, some senior officers could face prosecution at the International Criminal Court, which last month issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes.

An Israeli strike on Wednesday night in the southern Gaza Strip killed several Hamas operatives, including a top commander in the terror group’s internal security forces, the military said on Thursday.

Palestinian media reported that some 20 people were killed in the strike in the Israeli-designated humanitarian zone in the Khan Younis area, along with at least 19 others in other strikes across the Strip.

The IDF said it took numerous steps to mitigate civilian harm in the strike, including by using a precision munition, aerial surveillance, and other intelligence.

The military said that the Hamas commander, Osama Ghanim, was involved in “activity to suppress the citizens of Gaza and was responsible for detecting threats against Hamas from within the Strip

.Following the strike, the IDF said it had identified secondary blasts, indicating the presence of weapons in the area. Palestinian media published footage purportedly showing the strike.
