Let this be clear: FBI Pittsburgh and our partners will protect people of every faith in our community using every tool at our disposal. This morning, FBI SWAT units, teams of Special Agents, and local law enforcement arrested six individuals in connection with the violent assault of a local university student. The investigation determined this student was deliberately targeted because he was wearing a Star of David necklace. These arrests follow months of investigative work and will ensure those responsible will face justice. No one should ever be attacked in our community for wearing a symbol of their faith.

@dgsalem09 @GadSaad I’ll take Muslims over the cancer that is Zionism all day everyday. Zionism is not compatible with humanity!






Four IDF soldiers were killed and two others were wounded in a clash with Hezbollah in southern Lebanon yesterday, the military announces. Three of the slain soldiers are named as: Cpt. Noam Madmoni, 22, from Sderot Staff Sgt. Ben Cohen, 21, from Lehavim Staff Sgt. Maxsim Entis, 21, from Bat Yam All served with the Nahal Brigade's Reconnaissance Unit. The name of the fourth soldier is set to be released later, the military says. In addition, one soldier was seriously wounded, and a reservist was moderately hurt in the incident. According to an IDF probe of the incident, during operations in the western sector of southern Lebanon at around 6:30 p.m. yesterday, troops of the Nahal Reconnaissance Unit spotted a cell of Hezbollah gunmen. The soldiers exchanged fire with the Hezbollah operatives from a close range, hitting several of them, the military finds. While evacuating the wounded soldiers from the gun battle, Hezbollah operatives fired an anti-tank missile at the troops, which did not cause any further injuries, according to the probe. The IDF says it returned fire, with tank shelling and airstrikes, against the Hezbollah operatives in the area.



Will @USAmbIsrael get clarity on why Cardinal Pizzaballa was blocked by police from saying mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on Palm Sunday today?





I have instructed the relevant authorities that Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch, be granted full and immediate access to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Over the past several days, Iran has repeatedly targeted the holy sites of all three monotheistic religions in Jerusalem with ballistic missiles. In one strike, missile fragments crashed meters from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. To protect worshippers, Israel asked members of all faiths to temporarily abstain from worshipping at the Christian, Muslim and Jewish holy sites in Jerusalem’s Old City. Today, out of special concern for his safety, Cardinal Pizzaballa was asked to refrain from holding mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Even though I understand this concern, as soon as I learned about the incident with Cardinal Pizzaballa, I instructed the authorities to enable the Patriarch to hold services as he wishes.
