Archaeologists in Jerusalem have unearthed what is being hailed as the “most beautiful seal from the First Temple period ever discovered in ancient Jerusalem,” according to Navot Ram, excavation director at the Israel Antiquities Authority. The artifact, found in the historic City of David, features a striking winged figure alongside an inscription in paleo-Hebrew script. Experts believe the seal was used by a high-ranking official in the Kingdom of Judah to sign documents, a practice that was common among administrative elites during the First Temple era, which dates back to the 10th-6th centuries BCE. “This seal provides a rare and tangible connection to the bureaucratic workings of the ancient Judean kingdom,” said a spokesperson from the City of David. Its detailed craftsmanship and well-preserved paleo-Hebrew script highlight the sophistication of the period’s artisans and scribes. The discovery sheds light on the importance of seals in the ancient world, where they served as personal identifiers, ensuring the authenticity of documents and affirming the authority of the sender. The intricate winged design on the seal symbolizes the artistic and cultural influences of the time, blending local and regional motifs. Amir Tsarfati, November 19: The Kremlin spokesman: Ukraine's use of non-nuclear missiles against Russia could lead to a nuclear response, according to the newly approved nuclear doctrine. Amir Tsarfati, November 20: Spain, Italy, Greece and the USA have closed their embassies in Kiev. Members of the Hamas terror group executed 20 Gazan civilians who they claimed were stealing humanitarian aid, claiming that the brutal murders were part of a “security operation” targeting the theft of sought-after goods. Hamas regularly seizes and hoards humanitarian aid provided by Israel and the international community, stockpiling the goods in warehouses guarded by armed terrorists and charging Gazan civilians exorbitant prices for basic necessities. Video from the incident circulating on social media showed Hamas firing an RPG at a vehicle carrying several men, who they claimed had commandeered an aid truck. Some 20 people, whom Hamas claimed were members of an organized crime ring that stole from trucks carrying goods, were killed. In a media statement, Hamas acknowledged that it had killed the alleged thieves without arresting them or putting them on trial. “The field executions of thieves are part of an integrated plan to combat the crime of robbing aid trucks,” Hamas said in a press release. “We will continue to pursue lawbreakers and thieves who steal the food of our Palestinian people.” In April 2024, a Palestinian Authority-controlled news station reported that Hamas murdered workers who were providing humanitarian aid to Gazan civilians. Hamas “attacked them and killed some of them…to ensure Hamas control over the aid and its storage, which of course leads to these crazy and unreal prices that no one can pay in the shadow of this destruction.” https://worldisraelnews.com/hamas-publicly-executes-alleged-humanitarian-aid-thieves/ Russia’s military has deployed ground forces along the Israeli border, Syria has claimed, establishing a number of “observation points” opposite the Israeli frontier. On Monday, Syrian state media outlet SANA reported that the Russian army is expanding its presence in southwestern Syria, and that Russian forces are establishing nine observation points on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights, adjacent to the Israeli border in the Quneitra area, and along the Jordanian frontier outside Daraa. Deputy Commander of the Russian forces operating in Syria, General Alexander Rodionov, said in a press statement that the new deployment was part of the Russian army’s existing mission in Syria. https://worldisraelnews.com/russia-deploying-army-forces-on-israeli-border/ There has been an impressive surge in the number of Jews ascending to Judaism’s holiest site. The Temple Mount Administration estimated that 51,000 Jews had ascended in the past year. Beyadenu, a Temple Mount advocacy group, which includes Jews who entered the Temple Mount Compound as tourists, set that number at 56,000, a record number of Jews at the site. Unfortunately, as the number of Jewish visitors to the site increased, so did the actions of the Israeli police. This year, there was a 95% surge in removals and arrests as 237 Jews were detained or arrested. Two years ago, only 93 Jews were arrested or detained. 118 Jews were administratively removed from the Temple Mount, compared to 92 last year, an increase of 28%. In the year before that, only 39 Jews were removed. Tom Nisani, CEO of “Beyadenu Returning to The Temple Mount” stated, “We call on Minister Ben Gvir to demand that the police stop the policy of removals and delays." It was also noted that this year saw a significant improvement in the ability to pray on the Temple Mount, which was not possible in the past. “The only flood we’ve seen this past year on the Temple Mount is a flood of Jews ascending to the mount to exercise their historic and legitimate right to pray and visit the remnants of our Temple,” said Nisani. “Alongside the blessed increase and the ability for Jews to pray at the side of the mount, we are witnessing a dramatic rise in the number of removals and arrests. On one hand, Minister Ben Gvir claims he has improved the conditions, yet on the other hand, the police continue to harass Jews on the mount. To change this tendency, we call on the minister to demand that the police stop the policy of removals and delays and put an end to the discrimination between Jews and Arabs on the Temple Mount.” In response, the Israel Police stated: “The Police will continue to secure and allow tourists and Israelis to visit the site every day during the usual hours and days of visitation. Any violation of the visitation rules and attempt to disrupt public order at the site is handled accordingly.” A historic 196 mm (7.72 inches) of rain fell in Zikhron Ya’akov on Tuesday morning, November 19, 2024, marking Israel’s heaviest downpour on record and triggering widespread floods across the country. Record-breaking rains hit Israel on Tuesday, causing severe flooding in multiple regions, including Haifa. As the intense weather overwhelmed infrastructure, flash flood warnings were issued for the Judean Desert and the Dead Sea areas. According to Dr. Amir Givati, director of the Meteorological Service in Israel, this rainfall set a new all-time record for Israel, representing nearly 60% of the region’s annual rainfall. https://watchers.news/2024/11/20/israel-sets-a-new-all-time-rainfall-record-in-just-4-hours/ A pilot plan could start in Jabaliya after the IDF operation ends. Israel's defense establishment has been in contact with the U.S.-based security firm Orbis to discuss a pilot program for distributing aid in the northern Gaza Strip, Ynet News reported on Tuesday. This comes amid ongoing issues with the looting of aid trucks in the region. Over the last few days, several incidents of looting have been reported by UN agencies working in Gaza. UNRWA Senior Emergency Officer Louise Wateridge told Reuters that 98 of 109 aid trucks were raided on Saturday. Israel says that Hamas is partially responsible for this, and has released photos, videos and even audio recordings to back up its claims. According to Hebrew media reports, the company has already formulated a preliminary plan for aid distribution in northern Gaza. However, the reports cited sources familiar with the matter, who called the plan "very problematic." Orbis does not typically handle humanitarian aid distribution and will reportedly rely on subcontractors for this task, according to the reports. Kadosh said that both Netanyahu and Katz support the plan, which would also require a long-term IDF presence in the area. Amir Tsarfati, November 21: Russia has launched a non-nuclear Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) against Ukraine for the first time in this war. The decision was made by a corrupt chief prosecutor trying to save his skin from the serious charges against him for sexual harassment, and by biased judges motivated by anti-Semitic hatred of Israel. That is why the prosecutor lied when he told the American senators that he would not act against Israel before he got to visit and hear its side. That is why he canceled his arrival in Israel last May suddenly, a few days after suspicions were raised against him for sexual harassment, and announced his intention to issue arrest warrants against the Prime Minister and former Defense Minister. No anti-Israel resolution will prevent the State of Israel from protecting its citizens. 19 governors supported the demand for a comprehensive report, 12 abstained and 3 opposed, therefore the proposal passed. From that moment every container/ship/cargo that leaves Iran or enters it undergoes a careful inspection and can be confiscated (quite easily), including gas and oil. In response to the decision, Iran announced this evening that it is carrying out the threat it announced a few days ago and is operating new and advanced centrifuges that it has not operated before - with the aim of enriching uranium to a higher degree and quickly. Iran is on a collision course with the West (and not only) regarding its nuclear program. Now leftists have something outside of Washington, D.C., to complain about. See, it concerns a Netflix movie releasing Dec. 6 all about Mary, the mother of Christ. The trailer description reads, "In this coming-of-age religious epic, Mary is shunned following a miraculous conception and forced into hiding. When King Herod ignites a murderous pursuit for her newborn baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph flee to save his life." Pretty non-controversial so far, right? Not so fast. Turns out leftists have gotten word that the actress who portrays Mary, Noa Cohen, is from Israel — and leftists are losing their precious minds over it. Some examples from X: Director D.J. Caruso noted the following to EW last month in regard to the casting decisions: "When we started on this project, I immediately initiated a search for Mary. It was important to us that Mary, along with most of our primary cast, be selected from Israel to ensure authenticity."

A significant decision by the International Atomic Energy Agency against Iran
A short time ago, the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency approved a decision requiring Iran to submit a comprehensive report regarding its nuclear program, its status and in-depth explanations regarding the nature of the program.
This means that Iran's refusal to submit the report within a limited period of time will lay the foundation for the activation of the Snap back mechanism - stipulated in the nuclear agreement with Iran in 2015.
This means that Iran is exposed to the automatic activation of all the sanctions imposed on it before the nuclear agreement immediately. Heavy sanctions:
