Israel's air defense systems successfully intercepted the ballistic missile launched from Yemen using the Arrow 3 system.
IDF Spokesperson:
Following the alerts that were activated a short time ago in several areas across the State of Israel, one missile launched from Yemen was intercepted. The alerts were activated in accordance with policy. The IDF is operating and will continue to operate to protect the residents of the State of Israel against hostile elements.
As millions of Jews around the world gather to celebrate Shavuot, we remember the 58 hostages still held in Hamas captivity - who are spending yet another holiday away from their loved ones.
We will not rest until they are home.
Wishing everyone a meaningful Shavuot, and praying for the safe return of all our hostages🎗️.
Marco Rubio announced the launch of a new visa program that will prevent anti-Israel individuals from entering the United States. He also added that they will begin imposing sanctions on any organization or country that acts with hostility toward Israel.

Brooklyn: Bus Driver Veered Off Route, Locked Up Jewish Children – Delivered Antisemitic Speech
In Brooklyn, New York – a bus driver transporting Jewish children deviated from the route and locked them inside the vehicle for about half an hour.
During the ride, he delivered an antisemitic speech claiming, “The Jews killed Jesus,” and preached Christianity. The driver has been suspended, and authorities have launched an investigation. The Jewish community is demanding criminal prosecution.
"It is likely that local authorities will treat the incident with great seriousness, especially in light of the history of hate crimes in New York and the need to protect the rights of religious minorities.
White House envoy Steve Witkoff rejected Hamas’ claims that the organization had agreed to a ceasefire and hostage deal, telling journalist Barak Ravid:
“What I’ve seen from Hamas is disappointing and completely unacceptable.”
Witkoff added that Israel had agreed to a deal that includes a temporary ceasefire and the return of half of the hostages – both living and deceased. This would lead to substantial negotiations for a permanent ceasefire – a process he himself is willing to oversee.
According to him,
“This proposal is on the table – Hamas needs to accept it.”

Terror Attack Against Israelis in Colorado:
A vile terrorist threw Molotov cocktails at a demonstration calling for the release of the hostages, injuring people who were present.
Several wounded were evacuated to the nearest hospital. The terrorist was arrested while in possession of incendiary materials. Eyewitnesses reported that during the attack, the assailant shouted: “This will end when Palestine is free for all of us.” The incident sparked widespread condemnation, including from Colorado Governor Jared Polis.
Defense Minister Katz: On the eve of Shavuot, the IDF is striking hard in Gaza and advancing with full force. I have instructed the military to keep moving forward, using all necessary means to protect our soldiers and eliminate Hamas. Those who massacred and fought against us will pay the full price. Hamas will either release the hostages — or be destroyed.

The terrorist organization is requesting changes regarding "U.S. guarantees, the timing of the hostage release, the delivery of aid, and the withdrawal of IDF forces"; Israel says it views these amendments as a rejection of the proposal.
"As Hamas responds to the ceasefire offer with new demands, Witkoff says the response is 'completely unacceptable.'"

We are heartbroken to share that the newborn son of Tzeela Gez - who was brutally murdered by a terrorist on her way to give birth - has passed away.
His name was Ravid Chaim. He was only two weeks old.
The Palestinian terrorist who carried out this heinous attack - and the Hamas terrorists who celebrated the murder of his mother - represent pure evil.
May his memory be a blessing.
Establishment of New Communities:
Ministers Katz and Smotrich welcomed the establishment of new communities and the legalization of unauthorized outposts, calling them a "protective wall" for Israel that blocks the path to the creation of a dangerous Palestinian state.
"The Defense Ministry confirms: the government has approved the establishment of 22 new settlements in the West Bank."
A murderous antisemitic terror attack.
Sarah Milgrim, a 26-year-old Israeli Embassy staffer in
Washington, was killed along with her fiancé in an antisemitic attack on May 21, 2025. Her funeral was held in a private ceremony in her hometown of Overland Park, Kansas. Milgrim was known for her work promoting peace and interfaith dialogue.
The attacker, Elias Rodriguez, 31, an American citizen, approached the couple outside the Jewish museum in Washington and shot them dead. During his arrest, he shouted "Free Palestine." He was taken into custody on the spot, and the incident is being investigated as an antisemitic hate crime.
"Earlier, at 5:03 a.m., the Houthi rebels from Yemen launched another ballistic missile toward the territory of the State of Israel. Following the detection of the launch, alerts were activated in the Jordan Valley and Samaria regions. Rocket fragments fell south of Hebron.
"Later, at 7:42 a.m., the IDF Spokesperson reported: 'The Air Force intercepted a missile that was recently launched from Yemen. In accordance with policy, no alerts were activated.' This marks two failed launch attempts by the Yemenis, aimed at disrupting daily life in the State of Israel.
