| After presidency and Senate, Republicans complete US election sweep by securing House |
 |
|
Republicans have won enough seats to control the US House, completing the party’s sweep into power and securing their hold on the government alongside President-elect Donald Trump. A House Republican victory in Arizona, alongside a win in slow-counting California earlier Wednesday, gave the GOP the 218 House victories that make up the majority. Republicans earlier gained control of the Senate from Democrats. With hard-fought yet thin majorities, Republican leaders are envisioning a mandate to upend the federal government and swiftly implement Trump’s vision for the country. |

| New Customs Scrutiny While Entering Israel with Jewelry and Buggies |
 |
|
In recent weeks, travelers arriving in Israel have faced increased scrutiny on personal items, particularly jewelry and baby strollers when going through Ben Gurion Airport Customs. Chaim V’Chessed has been contacted in numerous cases where travelers have been questioned and fined by customs officials over these items. Furthermore, in multiple inquiries, travelers faced substantial fines or confiscation for carrying jewelry, even though it was for personal use and not intended for sale. After consulting with officials at the Israeli Tax Authority, Chaim V’Chessed has learned that travelers carrying jewelry should follow specific guidelines to reduce the risk of suspicion. The Tax Authority advises travelers to avoid packing jewelry boxes—whether full or empty—in their luggage, as this may raise a red flag. Instead, travelers are encouraged to wear their jewelry during transit to demonstrate that it is for personal use. Separately, families traveling with young children have encountered issues traveling with baby strollers. While bringing one stroller per child is permitted, the baby should be riding in that stroller. Customs officials may target strollers packed in luggage, particularly if they are in original packaging or appear new. Even unpackaged strollers that look recently purchased have sometimes attracted scrutiny. In these cases, travelers have faced unexpected fines and delays. Chaim V’Chessed has actively advocated for travelers, clarifying that these strollers and jewelry items are for personal use, not commercial import. Chaim V’Chessed urges all visitors and residents to remain informed and prepared to avoid unexpected complications. By following the above guidelines, travelers can reduce the risk of customs issues. |

| US hands ceasefire proposal to Beirut as IDF officer killed in southern Lebanon |
 |
|
An IDF officer was killed and another officer was seriously wounded during fighting in southern Lebanon on Thursday, the military announced, as a Hezbollah drone wounded two soldiers in northern Israel. The casualties came as Israel continued to pound Hezbollah targets in Lebanon — as well as in Syria — while the sides continued to look toward a possible ceasefire. Lt. Ivri Dickshtein, 21, from Eli, was killed during an exchange of fire with Hezbollah operatives on Thursday, the army said. Dickshtein, a platoon commander in the Golani Brigade’s 51st Battalion, had led his platoon in an offensive in a village in southern Lebanon. Amid the operation, the troops entered a building where they encountered at least five Hezbollah gunmen. The platoon commander was killed and another officer was seriously wounded during the gun battle. Another soldier was also moderately hurt in the incident. According to the probe, all five Hezbollah operatives were killed in the exchange. In Israel, a drone launched from Lebanon impacted near the northern town of Eliakim, some 50 kilometers (31 miles) from the northern border, wounding two soldiers. The drone had set off sirens for more than half an hour along Israel’s northern coast, including in Haifa. The two soldiers were admitted to Rambam Hospital in Haifa with shrapnel wounds. They were in moderate condition, the medical center said. |

| IDF says it hit 30 Hezbollah sites in Beirut, Palestinian terror targets in Damascus |
|
Israeli warplanes on Thursday hit Hezbollah sites in Beirut after the military issued warnings to residents in targeted areas to evacuate their homes, saying they were located near assets belonging to the terror group. Footage shared by Lebanese media showed one of the strikes in the vicinity of Beirut’s international airport, as a passenger plane was seen taxiing in the background. Jets also struck sites in Damascus belonging to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed carrying out airstrikes in Syria, saying it targeted several buildings and command centers belonging to the PIJ. Syria’s state-run SANA news agency said the strikes killed 15 and wounded 16 others. The strikes targeted two residential buildings in the Mezzeh district of the capital and the nearby city of Qudssaya, SANA said. The Israeli military said the strikes were a “significant blow” to the Gaza Strip-based Palestinian terror group and its operatives. The IDF has carried out numerous strikes in Syria in recent months, where Hezbollah has a presence, and which the terror group uses to smuggle arms into Lebanon. Other Iranian-backed terror groups that attack Israel also operate there. Islamic Jihad carried out the October 7 onslaught alongside Hamas, and its operatives have also been involved in launching attacks on Israel from Lebanon, alongside Hezbollah. |

| Iran says willing to hold nuclear talks, but not ‘under pressure and intimidation’ |
 |
|
Iran said on Thursday that it was willing to hold nuclear talks with world powers but will not negotiate “under pressure and intimidation,” as International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi met with the Islamic Republic’s top diplomat. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran was “willing to negotiate” based on the “national interest” and “inalienable rights.” Grossi, who arrived in Tehran late on Wednesday, was expected to negotiate with the country’s top nuclear and political officials, according to Iran’s official IRNA news agency. The IAEA chief also said there should be no attacks on Iranian nuclear installations and urged diplomacy to resolve compliance issues the UN watchdog has with the Iranians as he met with officials in Tehran. “I say this with regards to Iran… nuclear installations should not be attacked,” Grossi told a news conference, days after Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz said that Iran was “more exposed than ever to strikes on its nuclear facilities.” |
