Thursday’s accident, which occurred as the company was fueling its rocket as part of a routine prelaunch test firing, was the second failed mission for Musk’s space company in 14 months. In June 2015, a Falcon 9 rocket exploded just two minutes after liftoff from Florida, obliterating a load of cargo headed to the International Space Station. It took the company several months to recover but it returned to flight in December and flew successfully nine times since then.
In 2004, Israel – with the help of German mediation – provided Hezbollah with information it gathered which detailed the way the four Iranian diplomats were kidnapped, tortured and murdered by the Christian Lebanese Phalanges Party. Solving these two mysteries might even, after so many years, bring peace and perhaps some consolation to the families of the missing navigator and diplomats, and perhaps even bring some hope concerning the future of the ties between these bitter enemies.

The Rebbi says that he sees a great improvement in my son. He is doing much better in his learning B”H. Yes! We’ve taken the right step, the segulah of Chatzos Halayla has helped. Y.M.G. Monsey
Recently, Yedioth Ahronoth reported that over the past year Israel and Hezbollah held secret indirect talks to ascertain the fate of Israeli Air Force navigator Ron Arad who went missing almost 30 years ago after ejecting out of his plane over Lebanon. Sadly, the talks, which also included the Iranians, were not successful. Hezbollah was interested in finding out the fate of four Iranian diplomats – one of them a member of one of the most prominent families in the Tehran regime – in Beirut in 1982. The pro-Iranian group was unsuccessful in finding Arad’s place of burial. In 2005, Israel received information that it believes confirms that Arad died in Lebanon between 1995 and 1997. Iran was involved in the talks because it was Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) that held Arad from 1988 until his death. The group is also under pressure to solve the case of the four missing Iranian diplomats. The Persian regime has accused Israel of kidnapping and holding them alive in the Jewish state. Over the past 12 years, several attempts have been made to resolve both of these missing cases, with the two cases being closely intertwined.
Over 24 hours after a building collapsed in Tel Aviv, three people have been confirmed dead and three others were still missing. Soldiers and rescue units were working around the clock, hoping to locate survivors from the four-story structure. At least 20 people were injured when the parking garage collapsed on Monday morning. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who cancelled his attendance at the Israel-Italy soccer match Monday evening to visit the wreckage site, praised the ongoing search and rescue efforts and expressed hope the missing workers would be found alive. “The forces here are working
