🇮🇱 NEW: The IDF says the seven Hezbollah terrorists eliminated this week were spotted emerging from a tunnel used to store weapons and launch attacks against Israeli forces.
According to the military, reservists from the 551st Paratroopers Brigade identified the operatives, who were then targeted with airstrikes, artillery fire, and explosive drones.
Weapons and additional equipment were later found near the tunnel.
The hardware store closes at 6PM.. It's 5:58 when a kid walks in. The kid can't be more than sixteen. Soaking wet and shaking from the rain...
"We're closing." Tom says.
"Please. I just need a lock. For a door."
Something in the kid's voice. Terror. Desperation.
"What kind of lock?"
"I don't know. Just one that keeps people out."
The kid's got a black eye. Fresh. The kind that's still swelling.
Tom doesn't ask. Just walks to aisle seven. Shows him the locks. The kid reaches for the cheapest one, $8.99.
"That one's garbage," Tom says, "Won't stop anyone determined."
He hands him a deadbolt. Heavy duty. $34.99.
The kid's face crumbles. "I only have twelve dollars."
They stand there. Store empty except for them.
Tom takes the deadbolt to the register. Rings it up. "Twelve dollars."
"But,"
"Sale price. Today only."
The kid knows there's no sale. Knows this old man is lying. Tries not to cry and fails.
Tom bags it. Adds a screwdriver. Free.
"You know how to install it?"
The kid shakes his head...
They drive in Tom's truck. Don't talk. The kid directs him to a rundown duplex on the east side.
Upstairs apartment. Door frame cracked. Old lock broken, hanging loose.
Tom installs the deadbolt. Takes him fifteen minutes. Tests it. Solid.
Hands the kid both keys.
"Someone tries to get in, you call 911. You hear me?"
The kid nods.
Tom's halfway to his truck when he hears it, "Why?"
He turns around. The kid's standing in the doorway, backlit, holding those keys like they're made of gold.
"Why did you help me?"
Tom thinks about his own son. Twenty years ago. Different city. Same desperate eyes. Didn't make it.
"Because you asked," Tom says simply.
He drives home. Doesn't tell his wife. Doesn't think much about it.
Three weeks pass.
A woman comes into the store. Tired eyes but smiling. "Are you Tom?"
"Yes, Ma'am."
"My son told me about you. The lock you sold him." She's crying now. "His father, my ex-husband, he's not a good man. That lock kept us safe until I could get the restraining order. Until we could breathe."
She hands Tom an envelope. "It's not much. But it's the thirty dollars we owed you, plus a little more."
Tom tries to refuse. She won't let him.
"You didn't just sell him a lock," she says. "You saw him. You saw us. When we were invisible."
After she leaves, Tom opens the envelope. Sixty dollars. And a note from the kid:
"Installed three more locks for neighbors who needed them. Taught myself how...
"Going to trade school next year. Maybe I'll work in a hardware store someday. Be someone like you. -Marcus"
Tom's manager notices him crying by the register.
"You okay?"
"Yeah," Tom says. "Just... yeah."
That night, Tom stayed two minutes past closing. Then five. Then ten.
In case someone walks in at 5:58PM. Soaking wet. Desperate. Needing more than just a lock.
Tom learned something.
The last customer of the day may be the most important one we ever serve.
This video is still so powerful to watch.
An Israeli couple's wedding was cancelled because of the war, so their friends got together and relocated the wedding to the bunker under a Tel Aviv shopping mall.
This is why Israelis are unbeatable.
“Jewish women are too ugly to be raped, maybe with a condom.”
This is what this vile woman with the terror flag decided to say when she saw a sign that says “rape is not resistance.”
These people are truly evil. I feel sick.

🚨 JUST IN: Marco Rubio's State Department just carried out a MASSIVE birthright citizenship scam bust in Africa and Europe
Visas are now being REVOKED, and the birth scams are being shut down 👏🏻
The Supreme Court should do the right thing, step in and END it once and for all.
This is an entire INDUSTRY entirely based upon defrauding America.

🔥 BRANDON GILL JUST WENT NUCLEAR ON ILHAN OMAR
Freshman congressman Brandon Gill meets Ilhan Omar on the House Budget Committee.
She storms up to him, screaming curse words and vulgarities because he tweeted that America would be better off if Ilhan Omar were deported. (LOVE IT)
Gill just stands there, takes it all in, and the only thing running through his head is.....man....
“Do you kiss your brother with that mouth?” 😂😂😂
This Is the Energy
✅ No fake smiles.
✅ No “respect the institution.”
✅ Straight savage truth to the face of the Squad’s favorite jihadi sympathizer.
Ilhan Omar can scream all she wants.
The American people are done pretending these clowns are normal.
Brandon Gill is only getting started. 🇺🇸🔥
We shouldn’t even have a VA. Separate but equal is a fucking JOKE. Give them a gold card that gives them access to ANY healthcare they want on us and let’s get these heroes taken care of.
I’m so sick of having the very people who stood up for us be treated like shit.
And don’t even get me started on the foreign doctors the VA hires…
This is Richard Webb. He's my father-in-law. He served two tours in Vietnam as a Marine Recon Sniper. He received two purple hearts for his service along with countless other medals.
This photo is seven years ago...
Today, Richard spends most days not knowing what the hell is going on because he developed type 2 diabetes from agent orange in Vietnam.
My wife has been fighting the VA for over a year to get Richard the care and benefits he needs just to survive. The process is a joke. The service is a bigger joke.
The VA case managers are absolute dog shit and treat our nation's heroes like garbage. They also act as if they're doing our vets a FAVOR for the most basic of care.
@SecVetAffairs, I've been to your headquarters building in DC, and have first hand experience dealing with the incompetent staff.
This is hands down the most embarrassing department in all of the Trump administration. If the Boss knew how horrendously our veterans are still being treated after you've had eighteen months to fix these issues, you'd be fired tomorrow.
I waited a long time to write this, but at this point I've seen enough.
A NGO called ‘Community Health Initiative OC’ in Orange County, California is telling illegals to hurry and go to the dentist so all their dental bills will be paid by taxpayers
They’re telling illegals they need to hurry up and go to the dentist now before July because that’s when dental coverage for illegals gets cut off
Again, we have a NGO working directly for illegals to help them rob Americans by paying for all their dental work
This is all 100% free for illegals in California. Yes, California has been providing free taxpayer funded dental coverage for illegals
We need to abolish NGOs, everyone is so tried of this
The man, upon seeing a fat guy, humiliates him in front of his girlfriend to drag him into a fight;
With the first punch he receives, he meets harsh reality, and with the second, he meets God!
Ryan Lamuga, owner of Rhino Roofing and Siding in Bemidji, Minnesota, had 23 of his 30 employees detained by ICE yesterday. The agents reportedly told him they would track him down afterward.
It is a federal crime to knowingly hire illegal aliens. Ryan should be charged and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

American water heater repairman says he’s noticed the average new water heaters last only about 7-10 years and then they must be replaced
But when he comes across old ones like this one from 1956, they last forever
This is because of a business model called Planned Obsolescence and it’s a business strategy companies now use to engineer produces to fail after a certain among of time
This way you have to keep buying the same product over and over again
This is a scam
