Italy is deploying 500 soldiers to Milan after protests over rising living costs erupted into violence, with shops looted, windows smashed and clashes with police.

Authorities detained 271 people, including dozens of minors, as luxury retailers such as Chanel, Dior and Tiffany took precautions against further unrest.

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s government is preparing tougher security measures targeting violent demonstrations and youth gangs, while Milan braces for another round of protests this weekend.

President Donald Trump shared an unexpected moment with First Lady Melania Trump while signing an executive order.

After signing the document, Trump handed Melania a pen before joking, “I don’t know if her signature means anything.”

The remark sparked mixed reactions, with some finding it funny while others considered it completely disrespectful toward the First Lady.

An angry Italian man unleashed his frustration following days of violent protests, vandalism and looting in Milan, demanding
the deportation of migrants he blamed for the destruction.

“I can’t stand these people anymore. My city doesn’t exist anymore,” he shouted as bystanders applauded.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly planned a major new wave of strikes against Iran earlier this month, but President Donald Trump opposed restarting the war ahead of the US midterm elections, according to the Financial Times.

Israeli forces were reportedly prepared to target Iranian nuclear facilities, regime sites and infrastructure around October 10, in an operation potentially more intense than previous strikes.

The report suggests renewed military action remains possible in the coming weeks, although no decision has been confirmed.

Malaysia has banned government employees from using Waze, the popular navigation app founded in Israel, citing concerns about data security and its Israeli origins.

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim claimed the Google-owned app was subject to Israeli laws but provided no specific evidence of security risks. Officials have been instructed to switch to a locally developed alternative.

Waze was created in Israel and acquired by Google in 2013, raising questions about the basis for Malaysia’s decision more than a decade later.

Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar is asking supporters for campaign donations as she faces a federal investigation into allegations of immigration fraud.

In a new Instagram video, Omar requested contributions of $5, $10 or $20, accusing the Trump administration of attempting to intimidate her ahead of the midterm elections.

The appeal follows a reported search of her Washington, DC, home, during which federal agents seized electronic devices and documents. Omar has repeatedly denied wrongdoing and vowed to continue campaigning.

US Democratic congressional candidate Brad Lander was detained by Israeli security forces during an unauthorized olive harvest near the Israeli community of Beitar Illit in Judea and Samaria.

The IDF said the harvest had not been coordinated with authorities, as required for security and public order. Soldiers and police detained those present due to the security risks, while the landowner was given instructions to arrange a future harvest.

The IDF emphasized that approximately 100 coordinated olive harvests have already taken place across the West Bank, producing dozens of tons of olives under Israeli security protection without unusual incidents.

Lander was later released with a warning. Some of his detractors have accused him of exploiting his Jewish identity and criticism of Israel for political attention, even labeling him a “self-hating Jew.”

President Donald Trump says the United States is not negotiating with Iran and warns that a major development in the conflict could be imminent.

“Something one way or another will happen, fairly soon,” Trump told reporters before boarding Air Force One, adding that most people expect it to happen after the US midterm elections.

His remarks follow a New York Times report that Washington and Israel have prepared plans for renewed military strikes against Iran after November

Israeli politician Gadi Eisenkot visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem, where worshippers began cheering for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has denied a Financial Times report claiming President Donald Trump blocked Israel from launching a major military offensive against Iran earlier this month.

“That report is incorrect,” Netanyahu told Channel 7, declining to reveal details of his recent conversations with Trump.

The report claimed Israel was preparing strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities, regime targets and infrastructure around October 10, but that Trump opposed restarting the conflict before the November 3 US midterm elections.

Israelis head to the polls on October 27, but did you know the party with the most votes doesn't necessarily get to lead the country?

With 120 Knesset seats, a 3.25% electoral threshold and coalitions determining who becomes prime minister, Israeli elections work very differently from those in the US.

Here's how it all works—and why 61 seats are the magic number.

Dramatic scenes in Bat Yam as operatives from Israel’s elite Yamam counterterrorism unit rappelled from the roof of a high-rise building to rescue a woman threatening to jump from an 11th-floor window.

Working alongside police negotiators and additional forces, the operatives reached the apartment window, secured the woman and brought her to safety.

The circumstances surrounding the incident remain under investigation.

Five Israelis were wounded, two critically, in a Palestinian terror attack near Hebron in the southern West Bank.

According to the IDF, two Palestinian terrorists initially planned to carry out a mass-casualty shooting against Israeli civilians on Route 35. After encountering a military checkpoint, they opened fire on Israeli soldiers, triggering a gunfight that lasted more than 20 minutes.

Israeli forces eliminated both terrorists. The IDF believes the checkpoint prevented a potentially devastating attack on civilians.

The five wounded Israelis were evacuated to hospitals in Jerusalem, while the IDF and Shin Bet investigate possible links to a larger terrorist network.

Israeli security forces have launched counterterrorism operations across Hebron following Friday’s shooting attack that wounded five Israelis, including two critically.

The IDF says Hebron has been placed under a security cordon, with soldiers and Border Police operating inside the homes of the terrorists and additional suspects.

The military also revealed that approximately 70 wanted individuals were arrested across Judea and Samaria over the past week, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad affiliates.

Dozens of weapons, including M16 rifles, submachine guns and explosive devices, were seized.
