- 0:12Speaker 1: Tragedy struck in northern Israel this week when an explosive device,
- 0:16Speaker 1: likely a cluster submunition from a Hezbollah rocket, detonated during
- 0:20Speaker 1: an officially approved hike in the Ramim Ridge area. The
- 0:23Speaker 1: incident killed a 15-year-old boy and injured 24 others, including
- 0:27Speaker 1: students and teachers. Dr. Svi Sheleg of Galilee Medical Center,
- 0:32Speaker 1: provided an update on the condition of the wounded children.
- 0:35Speaker 1: In response, the head of the Upper Galilee Regional Council,
- 0:38Speaker 1: Asaf Langelban, has called on the IDF to conduct thorough
- 0:42Speaker 1: searches in hiking areas for unexploded ordnance and to learn
- 0:45Speaker 1: from the tragedy to prevent future occurrences. The area is
- 0:49Speaker 1: currently being swept by IDF and police sappers, with access restricted. Meanwhile,
- 0:55Speaker 1: in southern Lebanon, the IDF is investigating two separate incidents
- 0:59Speaker 1: within a 48-hour period, where unidentified aerial targets were detected
- 1:03Speaker 1: near Israeli troops. An interceptor was launched in response to
- 1:07Speaker 1: one of these threats, though military officials remain unable to
- 1:10Speaker 1: clearly identify the nature of these objects, with initial speculation
- 1:14Speaker 1: including balloons. On the international front, the UK Prime Minister
- 1:18Speaker 1: has stated that a recent terror alert at RAF Fairford
- 1:22Speaker 1: was almost certainly linked to activity directed by Iran's Islamic
- 1:26Speaker 1: Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC. Separately, a Fox News investigation
- 1:31Speaker 1: has reportedly uncovered a London-based coalition, the Global Alliance for Palestine,
- 1:36Speaker 1: coordinating worldwide anti-Israel demonstrations. The coalition is said to have
- 1:41Speaker 1: identified 179 organisations and 322 planned events, distributing protest materials
- 1:49Speaker 1: and strategies. And in entertainment news, comedian Jerry Seinfeld responded
- 1:53Speaker 1: to a protester who interrupted his Chicago stand-up performance. The
- 1:57Speaker 1: protester accused Seinfeld of making jokes while Palestinians were being
- 2:01Speaker 1: killed and called him an apologist for genocide. Seinfeld replied
- 2:05Speaker 1: that he would donate the price of her ticket to Israel. Domestically,
- 2:09Speaker 1: a notable development in Israeli politics sees the first two
- 2:13Speaker 1: women running on a Haredi party's Knesset list. Nechemi Yaf
- 2:16Speaker 1: and Ziva Glantz, campaigning for the Haredi Public Party, aim
- 2:20Speaker 1: to address overlooked issues for women in the ultra-Orthodox community.
- 2:24Speaker 1: including health, employment conditions and financial pressures. Representing a departure
- 2:29Speaker 1: from traditional Haredi political platforms. For continuing coverage of antisemitism
