Video shows Hamas abduction of female IDF spotters on Oct. 7
A new pro-Palestine encampment at Columbia University disbanded quickly this past weekend — but only after the controversial group behind it expressed their intention to wreak future havoc on campus.In a statement released late Sunday night, Students for Justice in Palestine dubbed the demonstration “Installation 1” of a “summer of disruption” and vowed, “We will be back.”The latest encampment, which consisted of student protesters from Columbia University Apartheid Divest and Students for Justice in Palestine, popped up Friday night just as the campus was opening up for its Alumni Weekend.Demonstrators erected roughly a dozen tents on the lawn in the university’s quad, where a much larger encampment stood last month before eventually being taken down by the NYPD. [sorry I was wrong this morning, it was the same lawn]Among the signs spotted in the camp was one reading, “We’re back bitches.”
There are fresh reports out of Israeli media that the country's war cabinet is discussing launching a full-scale war against Hezbollah, which would likely involve an army ground invasion of southern Lebanon.Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, said Tuesday a tough "decision" is close amid ratcheting daily attacks on northern Israel. "We are approaching the point where a decision will have to be made, and the IDF is prepared and very ready for this decision," Halevi said while on a visit to an army base in Kiryat Shmona, a northern region which has witnessed massive fires this week resulting from Hezbollah drone and rocket attacks.“We have been attacking for eight months, and Hezbollah is paying a very, very high price. It has increased its strengths in recent days and we are prepared after a very good process of training… to move to an attack in the north," he said.“[We have] strong defense, readiness to attack, [and] we are approaching a decision point," he emphasized. This was as a war cabinet meeting convened Tuesday night.Huge fires this week have persisted in Israel's Galilee region following stepped-up rocket and drone attacks by Hezbollah on northern Israel. Some reports said over 20 to 30 wildfires in various locations had consumed some 2,500 acres of land.
