"Israeli Soldiers Uncover Gaza Tunnel Holding 20 Hostages in Khan Younis"

Israeli soldiers uncovered a kilometer-long tunnel in the Gaza Strip that was used by Hamas to hold about 20 hostages in cramped cells. The tunnel, rigged with blast doors and explosives, was discovered in the house of a Hamas member in Khan Younis. The hostages were kept in harsh conditions without daylight, in dense air with little oxygen and terrible humidity. Some hostages were freed during a truce, while others remain captive after being captured during Hamas' rampage through southern Israel.

"Uncovering the Secret Tunnel: The Controversy at a New York Synagogue"

The recent brawl at a New York City basement synagogue has brought attention to the legacy of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the revered leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement. The synagogue, linked to Schneerson, was the site of a secret tunnel dug by some worshippers, leading to a confrontation with authorities. Schneerson's impact on the movement and his followers' belief in his messianic role continue to influence the community, despite the movement's disavowal of such teachings. The incident has sparked concerns about structural damage and safety, while a Chabad spokesman described the tunnel diggers as "rogue youth" and emphasized the sacredness of the space.
