🔴ELIMINATED: Mohammed Odeh - Head of Hamas’ Military Wing in a strike in northern Gaza.
Odeh served as the Head of Hamas’ military wing following the elimination of Izz al-Din al-Haddad. As part of his role, he was responsible for planning and coordinating Hamas terrorists’ infiltration and attack targets during the October 7 Massacre.
Hezbollah has spent years embedding its terror along Israel’s northern border.

The Palestinian Authority still allocates public funds to reward convicted terrorists:
Mahmoud Abbas admitted again his Pay-for-Slay policy on camera at the Fatah Congress on May 14.
And now Abbas complains Israel is withholding the money. No chance Israel will allow these funds to bankroll terrorism.
Today I instructed my legal advisers to consider the harshest legal action against The New York Times and Nicholas Kristof.
They defamed the soldiers of Israel and perpetuated a blood libel about rape, trying to create a false symmetry between the genocidal terrorists of Hamas and Israel’s valiant soldiers.
Under my leadership, Israel will not be silent.
We will fight these lies in the court of public opinion and in the court of law.
Truth will prevail.
Four weeks ago, CENTCOM began implementing the blockade against ships entering and exiting Iran’s ports. As of today, American forces have redirected 67 commercial vessels, allowed 15 supporting humanitarian aid to pass, and disabled 4 to ensure compliance.
Earlier this week, CENTCOM forces ensured that 2 commercial vessels turned around to comply with the blockade after communicating via radio and firing warning shots from small arms, clearly demonstrating that U.S. enforcement remains in full effect.
USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) continues operations in the Arabian Sea, including enforcement of the U.S. blockade against Iran. CENTCOM forces have redirected 65 commercial vessels and disabled 4.
🎯DISMANTLED: 4 underground tunnel routes with a combined length of ~4km in southern Gaza, east of the Yellow Line.

🎯DISMANTLED: 2 underground tunnel routes with a combined length of ~2km, east of the Yellow Line in central Gaza.
Several hideouts & weapons were located inside the tunnel routes. Additionally, during searches in the area, the troops located dozens of rockets & explosive devices.
🎯DISMANTLED: 8 underground tunnel routes used by Hamas, spanning a total length of 2.5+ kilometers.
One of the tunnel routes was part of the underground terrorist infrastructure network in eastern Rafah, where Hamas terrorists had been operating were eliminated during an engineering activity conducted by the IDF troops inside the tunnel.
❗️ EXPOSED: Underground tunnel network built by Hezbollah in the Qantara area of southern Lebanon.
IDF troops located 2 underground Hezbollah tunnels, with a total length of ~2 kilometers, situated ~10 kilometers from Israel’s northern communities.
Inside the tunnels, soldiers located a large quantity of weapons, living quarters, water tanks, and equipment for prolonged stays.
Zohran Mamdani’s latest budget gimmick is exactly the wrong approach for New York City’s fiscal challenges.
My administration enacted the Pass-Through Entity Tax (PTET) because New York families and businesses were under attack by Republicans in Washington when they capped the SALT deduction, targeting New York and other Democratic states. It was double taxation — taxing New Yorkers on the very taxes they already paid to support their schools, police, firefighters, hospitals, infrastructure, and basic services.
PTET was not created as a loophole. It was created as a lawful, common-sense shield to protect New Yorkers from an unfair federal tax assault and to keep jobs, investment, small businesses, professional partnerships, and taxpayers in New York.
Now Mamdani wants to take the Washington Republican tax attack and have City Hall compound it in the name of "fairness". It is not "fairness" to make New York less competitive, less affordable, and less attractive to the people and businesses who pay the bills and create the jobs.
New York City cannot tax its way out of every problem. We have seen this movie before: when government raises costs in an already high-tax city and state, people and businesses have choices. They leave; jobs leave; investment leaves; and working families are left paying the price.
@KathyHochul is right to reject this proposal.
Albany should not make New Yorkers collateral damage for New York City’s inability to control spending. We should be fighting Washington to fully restore SALT — not surrendering one of the few tools New York has to protect itself in the meantime.
Strong government means making hard choices: managing expenses, setting priorities, protecting essential services, and growing the economy. It does not mean dressing up a tax increase as loophole closure and pretending there will be no consequences.
