Minister Katz attends the Israel Parade that brings together thousands of people in New York

cortesía

Thousands of people participated this Sunday in the Israel Parade that is held every year on Fifth Avenue in New York, United States, and which was joined this year by the foreign minister of the Hebrew country, Israel Katz, who traveled expressly for the occasion.

The march took place peacefully for about four hours, despite the fact that the New York police considered it high risk this year in the face of the increase in tension in the city in recent months, translated into hundreds of pro-Palestinian and to a lesser extent pro-Israeli protests.

To do this, the Police cut off traffic not only from Fifth Avenue in its central section (from 40th to 74th Street), but also on the parallel Madison Avenue, with a deployment of thousands of agents – with drones and metal detectors – who fenced the entire route with a double barrier of metal fences on both sides, enabling only a few entry and exit points.

The demonstrators, among whom there were a large number of children and adolescents – dressed in their t-shirts from their schools, yeshivas or Jewish foundations – also expressed their American patriotism because they carried in many cases Israeli flags next to the American one.

They mainly shouted two slets: “Bring them home” (Bring them home, alluding to the hostages in the hands of Hamas) and “Am Israel Hai” (The people of Israel live), but they refrained from other more political smotical s.

Despite the fears of the Mayor’s Office, there was no incident with counter-demonstrators, as feared in the light of the more than 1,000 protests recorded in New York against the pro-Palestinian-signed war in Gaza in the past eight months.

The mayor of New York, Eric Adams, who since the beginning of the war in Gaza has multiplied the messages for Israel, was present at the march and photographed himself with Minister Katz, but that was not enough and from there he wrote in his X account: “I will always defend our brothers and sisters of Israel, (I want to) show the world that hatred has no place in our city.”

They could see numerous Jews arriving from neighboring New Jersey, who joined those from New York, a city that has the reputation of being the second largest in the world in Jewish population behind Tel Aviv.

Seven bodies found with signs of torture in Sinaloa

Mexican authorities discovered seven lifeless bodies on Wednesday, showing clear signs of torture, in the rural area of Culiacán, Sinaloa, just one day after the same number of bodies was found in several municipalities in the western state of Mexico.

Six of these seven victims were found along the side of the highway that connects Culiacán to Mazatlán, near Laguna de Canachi, according to local media reports, which also noted that messages addressed to a criminal group were found near the bodies.

This brings the total number of violent deaths in the region to seven within just 24 hours. On Tuesday, authorities reported more victims found in the municipalities of Culiacán, Elota, and Mazatlán.

Among the victims identified was a local cattle rancher named Ramón Velázquez Ontiveros, as well as a police officer from Mazatlán, who was killed by a motorcyclist outside his home in San Marcos.

Málaga paralyzed by new storm as torrential rains hit Spain

Thousands of people were evacuated and trains were suspended as torrential rains once again struck Spain on Wednesday, following the devastating floods that killed at least 223 people two weeks ago, most of them in the Valencia region.

The national meteorological agency (Aemet) issued a maximum, red-level alert for the Andalusian province of Málaga in the south, and for Tarragona in the northeast, due to the new DANA (isolated depression at high levels), also known as a cold drop.

The city of Málaga appeared to be the hardest hit by the rains, with more than 3,000 people evacuated from 1,000 homes near rivers, flooded streets, and the suspension of urban transport and train services to Madrid.

“Today Málaga is paralyzed,” said Andalusia’s regional president, Juan Manuel Moreno, to reporters. “I know it is a problem for citizens not being able to take their children to school or go to work, but after what we saw in Valencia, we need to ‘prevent’ and minimize the impact in terms of loss of life,” he added.

The storm also led to the postponement of a match between Spain and Poland in the Billie Jean King Cup women’s tennis competition, which was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon in Málaga.

Hezbollah launches explosive drone strike on Israel’s defense headquarters

The Lebanese Islamist movement Hezbollah claimed on Wednesday that it launched an attack with explosive drones against the Israeli army’s headquarters in Tel Aviv.

The Iran-backed organization reported in a statement that it had carried out “an aerial attack with a squadron of explosive drones” targeting the site that houses Israel’s main defense institutions.

Hezbollah later stated that it also fired a barrage of rockets at the Glilot military intelligence base in the suburbs of Tel Aviv.

The Israeli military indicated that “sirens sounded in several areas of northern and central Israel following the launch of projectiles from Lebanon.”

It later clarified that “five projectiles were identified over the territory, and some were intercepted.”
