Fresh weather warnings as parts of UK brace for 70mph winds and heavy rain this weekend

Met Office weather warnings for Sunday

New weather warnings of 70mph wind gusts and up to 90mm of rain have been issued for the weekend.

The Met Office issued five yellow weather warnings – three for rain and two for wind – throughout Sunday as the weekend is expected to end in a washout for large parts of the country.

It comes after the weather agency issued rain and wind warnings for parts of Scotland, the east coast of Northern Ireland and west Wales for Friday.

From 6am to 6pm on Sunday, southerly to southwesterly winds are expected to build along much of the UK, with all of Scotland, Wales and northern England, as well as parts of the Midlands and the South West under a yellow alert.

The Met Office said winds are to peak between the late morning and early afternoon, with gusts between 50mph and 60mph possible and “perhaps as much as 70mph in exposed spots along Irish Sea coastlines, Scottish Islands, and other areas of high ground further inland”.

It added: “Rain will accompany strong winds, which will make for very poor weather conditions, especially on roads.

“Winds will then ease from southwest to northeast of the warning area through the afternoon and early evening.”

Under a separate alert from 3am to 3pm on Sunday, Northern Ireland is also set to see similar conditions, with winds “expected to ease slowly through the afternoon”.

A yellow warning for heavy rain is also in effect in southwest Scotland, with Dumfries under the alert from 7am to 3pm.

Between 20mm to 30mm is expected to fall, but the Met Office added that “in some places such as exposed south or southwest-facing hills nearer 40-50mm is likely”.

Large parts of South Wales are also under a heavy rain warning from 9am to 9pm on Sunday, with conditions “bringing a spell of around 9-12 hours of rain”.

The Met Office said that in this area, “widely 30-50mm of rain is expected, but 60-90mm is possible in the wettest, most exposed places”.

In its weekend forecast, the Met Office added that for those away from the warnings, “conditions over the next few days will still be blustery and wet at times, although some parts in the east may remain largely dry until Sunday”.

Israel News 

After 503 Days Of Torment, Oded Lifshitz, H’yd, Is Identified. Oded was a journalist and peace activist

picture hole

Oded Lifshitz, the hostage whose body was returned on Thursday to Israel, was a veteran journalist, long-time defender of Palestinian rights, and a founder of the kibbutz where he lived and was abducted.

He was taken hostage, aged 83, from his home in Kibbutz Nir Oz by Palestinian terrorists during Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel alongside his wife Yocheved Lifshitz, 85.

They were among 251 people taken hostage that day, after thousands of Hamas-led terrorists invaded southern Israel from the Gaza Strip, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and sparking the subsequent war.

Interviewed on Israel’s Kan public broadcaster on Wednesday, she said her husband had “fought for the Palestinians his whole life — they betrayed him and took him to hell.”

In 1972, he defended Bedouins who were expelled from the Sinai Peninsula by Israeli authorities.

A decade later, during the Lebanese civil war and Israel’s invasion of Lebanon, he was one of the first journalists to report on the Sabra and Shatila massacres in which Israeli-backed Christian militias killed between 800 and 2,000 Palestinians in Beirut refugee camps.

More recently, Lifshitz, an Arabic speaker, had been actively involved for years with Road for Recovery, an organization that helps Palestinians receive medical treatment in Israel.

According to his family, he would drive weekly to the Erez crossing on the Gaza Strip border to pick up sick Palestinians and transport them to Israeli hospitals.

IDF Identifies Bodies of Bibas Children – but 3rd body sent by Hamas is not their mother Shiri

The military informs the Bibas family that the bodies of Ariel and Kfir Bibas have been identified after their remains were given to Israel by Hamas on Thursday.

However, the third body at the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute was not that of their mother, Shiri Bibas, says the Israel Defense Forces. Specialists at Abu Kabir were not able to identify the body. It did not match any male or female hostage, the IDF said. “This is an anonymous, identified body.”

The authorities, using forensic evidence and intelligence, assess that the two young boys were ‘”brutally murdered” by terrorists in November 2023, says the IDF. Ariel was 4-years-old and Kfir was 10-months-old when they were murdered.

“This is a very serious violation by the Hamas terrorist organization, which is required by the agreement to return four dead hostages,” says the IDF. “We demand that Hamas return Shiri home, along with all of our hostages.”

“We share the deep sorrow of the Bibas family at this difficult time and will continue to make every effort to return Shiri and all the hostages home as soon as possible,” says the IDF.


3 buses explode in Bat Yam, Holon in suspected strategically planned terror attack

Three empty buses exploded in quick succession in parking lots in the Tel Aviv suburbs of Bat Yam and Holon on Thursday night in what police said was a suspected terror attack.

There were no injuries reported in the incidents. Police said they recovered two other unexploded devices on buses nearby. According to Hebrew media reports, those devices were discovered in Holon.

Each of the devices contained 5 kilograms of explosives, Hebrew media reports said.

Police said they were combing the scenes and searching for suspects, while bomb sappers were hunting for any other suspicious items in the vicinity.

Transportation Minister Miri Regev issued an order to the head of the Transportation Authority to halt service and conduct a search of all buses, trains and light rails. Regev was reported to be cutting short a visit to Morocco amid the incident.

Speaking to reporters in Bat Yam, Haim Sargarof, the Tel Aviv District police chief, said that the devices had timers but they were improvised explosives, and that the attack “looks like something [that originated] in the West Bank.”

Sargarof said there was “something written,” on the devices, without elaborating, apparently referencing media reports of a written “revenge threat” from the West Bank city of Tulkarem on one or more of the devices. He said he did not know how many suspects were involved in planning the attack. Police sources told Hebrew media later Thursday that they suspected the attack involved a West Bank terror cell.

“The revenge of the martyrs will not be forgotten so long as the occupier is present on our land… This is a jihad of either victory or martyrdom,” said a statement on a Telegram channel claiming to represent Hamas’s so-called Tulkarem Battalion, which did not directly claim responsibility for the blasts.

According to a Channel 12 news report, the devices were slated to explode on Friday morning, when the buses were in use, but were set off early. Giora Eiland, a former IDF operations chief, speculated that the timers were incorrectly set.

The network also reported that one of the undetonated devices was found due to an alert from a passenger, who notified the driver of a suspicious bag, and that police believe several suspects were involved in planting the bombs.

“We may be lucky if indeed the terrorists set these timers to the wrong hour,” police spokesman Aryeh Doron said. “But it’s too early to determine.”
