Israel Awaits An Attack From Iran In Two…
Israel expects Iran to launch a direct attack against Israeli interests in the next 48 hours, in response to the bombing of the Iranian consulate last week in Syria, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing its sources.
US intelligence reports indicate an Iranian retaliatory attack within days, “possibly on Israeli soil,” a US official said.
Earlier this week, the Persian country’s Revolutionary Guard contacted Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Hossein Khamenei with several options for attacking Israeli interests, an adviser to the paramilitary force said. Scenarios include a direct attack on Israel with sophisticated medium-range missiles, he added.
But Khamenei worries that a direct attack could backfire, as the projectiles would be intercepted and Israel would respond with massive retaliation against Iran’s strategic infrastructure. “The attack plans are before the Supreme Leader and he is still weighing the political risk,” the adviser said.
Likewise, the US Embassy in Israel announced on Thursday that US government employees and their families are prohibited from any personal travel outside of central Israel, Jerusalem and Beersheba until further notice.
In recent hours, according to WSJ, social media accounts close to the Revolutionary Guard have posted videos showing simulated missile attacks against Israel’s Haifa airport and its nuclear facility in Dimona.

Troops Withdrawn. Turning Point Or Risk Of Escalation?…
Israel withdrew all its troops from the southern Gaza Strip overnight, with the exception of one brigade. This was announced by the Israeli army, explaining that only the Nahal Brigade of the Defense Forces (IDF) was left on site, with the task of securing the so-called Netzarim Corridor, which crosses the Strip from the northern border, near from Kibbutz Beeri (in southern Israel), to the coast of the Palestinian exclave. As reported by the «Times of Israel» newspaper, control of the corridor allows the IDF to carry out raids in the north and center of the Gaza Strip, prevent Palestinians from returning to the northern area of the territory and allow humanitarian organizations to provide aid to the population. Does the unexpected decision arise from an intention of truce or is it dictated by the alarm raised by Iran?
Meanwhile, exactly six months after the massacre carried out by Hamas, the secretary general of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres wrote on X: «October 7 is a day of pain for Israel and for the world. Nothing can justify the horror unleashed by Hamas. I once again condemn the use of sexual violence, torture and abduction of civilians and call for the unconditional release of all hostages.” US President Joe Biden’s administration is pressuring Israel to allow some displaced Gaza civilians to return to the northern part of the Strip,

#maternity #ward #opened #Ogre
Today, the newly built Maternity Department was ceremoniously opened at the Ogre District Hospital, where an expanded range of services and improved conditions will be available for both new parents and employees. The construction of a new department was necessary because in recent years the hospital has one of the highest rates of accepted births in Latvia among local and also regional hospitals.
Every year, the birth rate in Latvia decreases rapidly. The last year saw the lowest number of births in the last 30 years. Although the total number of newborns in the country is decreasing, the demand for services in Ogre’s maternity ward is increasing, and this was also one of the arguments of the hospital management to expand the maternity ward. By investing almost two million euros from the hospital’s budget, a new ward was opened with three maternity rooms, six family rooms and three double rooms. wards. Dainis Shirovs, head of SIA “Ogre district hospital”: “We feel the influx of patients from Pieriga. From Aizkraukles region, from Jēkabpils region and from other surrounding areas.
Baffling Allegations: Former Police Chief Protected Murder Suspect…
He’d been trying for almost a year to talk to the former police chief.
Sgt. Mike Slaughter, a police detective in suburban Philadelphia, wanted to interview the retired chief, Thomas Mills, about a decades-old unsolved homicide. The detective said he had repeatedly gone to Mills’ home and asked intermediaries to help broker a meeting. But Mills refused, he said.
Finally, in December 2015, the former chief agreed to a recorded interview and, after roughly an hour, Slaughter said he came away stunned by what Mills told him: While still a detective in the early 1990s, the former chief had been instructed to “stay away” from a possible suspect in the unsolved killing because of the man’s status with the Bristol Township Police Department. He was a confidential informant. His handler was a narcotics detective.
“Why a person who could be the murder suspect would be protected just because of their role as a drug informant for our police department — that doesn’t make sense in any kind of cop math,” Slaughter told “Dateline” in an e xclusive interview.
Mills died in 2017. Messages left on phone numbers listed as his relatives were not returned.
