The Houthi rebels in Yemen take responsibility for launching two drones at Israel this evening, claiming to have targeted two “military targets” in the Tel Aviv area.
According to the IDF, one drone was intercepted by the Israeli Air Force. The second drone did not reach Israel.

University Apologizes For Inaction After Student’s Antisemitic Abuser Pleads Guilty
[DailyWire] Nearly a full year since college soccer player Noam Nedivi came forward with his story of antisemitic abuse, his university is apologizing for not only its failure to protect the student, but also actions that derailed his college experience.
Lawrence Technological University actually kicked Nedivi off his team and declined to protect him from a roommate who subjected him to months of antisemitic verbal and physical abuse. The Michigan school has now formally apologized after his former roommate and teammate, Zavier Chimienti, pleaded guilty to ethnic intimidation and misdemeanor domestic violence in October.
The ordeal, first reported by The Daily Wire nearly a year ago, included Chimienti harassing Nedivi with anti-Jewish slurs, Nazi salutes, and full-on physical abuse.
“Last year, a Jewish student reported verbal and physical antisemitic abuse committed by another student on campus,” LTU’s administration wrote in a press release. “The student’s complaint should have been handled better. In that way, we failed him and the LTU community, and caused unnecessary pain to our student. We apologize to our student for the hurt caused him [sic].”
Nedivi told The Daily Wire that he is relieved the situation has come to an end, but he’s far from satisfied.
“I am glad that most of the truth has come to light, but LTU’s campus was a hostile environment for me for more than a year after I reported Zavier’s harassment in my own campus apartment,” Nedivi said. “He was never suspended at any point, even after he pleaded guilty in state court.”
Nedivi added that the lack of prioritization of his safety made him decide to finish his degree online. “LTU acted more like a criminal organization than a university trying to protect me,” Nedivi added. “LTU’s administration deliberately falsified evidence, made up lies to ruin my reputation and kept me from accessing critical student resources.”
Princeton Radicals Disrupt Event With Naftali Bennet, Yelling 'Genocide' and Pulling Fire Alarm
[WashingtonFreeBeacon] Anti-Israel activists at Princeton University disrupted a speech by former Israeli prime minister Naftali Bennett, setting off a fire alarm and calling him "a fucking war criminal." The agitators joined a larger group after getting kicked out, where they told Jews to "go back to Europe" and flashed pro-Hamas hand gestures.
During Bennett’s Monday speech, which was sponsored by Princeton’s Center for Jewish Life, roughly a dozen agitators shouted, "We charge you with genocide! You’re a fucking war criminal!" and held posters with a red handprint as they marched out of the event, footage posted by the New Jersey chapter of American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) showed. Princeton students and faculty led the disruption, according to AMP. A video from the Princeton Palestine Liberation Coalition, meanwhile, showed a fire alarm going off. "GENOCIDE ALARM ACTIVATED," the group wrote. Princeton's Students for Justice in Palestine chapter also shared footage of the disruption on its Instagram story.
After school officials escorted the agitators out of the event, they joined several dozen more outside and continued protesting for nearly three hours, an attendee told the Washington Free Beacon. They shouted down Jews, saying, "go back to Europe." They also used their fingers to form upside-down triangles, a symbol Hamas uses to denote Israeli targets.
AMP’s national arm was recently accused of serving as Hamas’s "propaganda arm in New York City" and is facing a Senate committee investigation over its role in fueling anti-Israel demonstrations on college campuses, the Free Beacon reported. Its founder and chairman Hatem Bazian, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, has called for Israel’s dismantling and once argued that "it’s about time we had an intifada in this country."
On Saturday, AMP helped organize an anti-Israel march in Washington, D.C., that included speeches from Council on American-Islamic Relations executive director Nihad Awad, notorious anti-Semite Linda Sarsour, and Grant Miner, the Columbia University graduate student expelled for storming a campus building. It also featured murals honoring Hamas and Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terrorists.
The Daily Camera reports after entering the “Designing for Defense” class last week, one of the activists went to the front of the room and prepared to read a statement, whereupon a man who appeared to be the instructor said “No, you may not.”
He then grabbed the statement and said “Get out.”
Soon after, a video from the Buffs 4 Palestine Instagram page shows two men, one of whom “appeared to be [neither] an employee or student,” according to the Camera, dragging the activists from the room.
The pro-Hamas student organization has been in “bad standing” since October due to violations of university policy. These include “disrupting a career fair” and “using amplified sound.”
In a statement, the university said it “condemns acts of violence and does not tolerate classroom disruptions, both of which violate state law and university policies.”
12 anti-Israel protesters charged with felonies for barricading themselves in Stanford president’s office
[IsraelTimes] Twelve protesters are charged with felony vandalism for their actions during a June 2024 pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel protest at Stanford University in which demonstrators barricaded themselves inside the office of the school president. Those charged, ranging in age from 19 to 32, entered the building and demonstrated a “conspiracy to occupy” it, prosecutors say, adding that at least one suspect entered the building by breaking a window. All suspects wore masks, they say. Dozens of other protesters surrounded the building and chanted: “Palestine will be free.”
At the time, the university said 13 people were arrested during the protest, one police officer was injured, and the building suffered “extensive” damage.
US President Donald Trump’s administration has threatened to withhold federal funding from universities, including Stanford, over allegations that they failed to stop antisemitism and intimidation of Jewish students.
Northwestern SJP Chapter, Quoting PFLP Terrorists, Urges Members to 'Build an Intifada' and 'Destroy Amerika'
[WashingtonFreeeBeacon] Northwestern University's Students for Justice in Palestine chapter held an anarchist training session for its members at which it cited propaganda from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terror group urging U.S. students to "build an Intifada" and "destroy amerika."
Northwestern's Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapter featured two radical pamphlets as part of its materials for the Thursday training, titled "Organizing Safety 101." One of those, an anarchist pamphlet, quoted a PFLP leader and called on students to "build an Intifada" so they could "destroy amerika." The other, crafted by the SJP chapter, featured a PFLP cartoon on the cover and encouraged students to "channel [their] anger" so they could "aid in the fight" against Israel.

US administration seeking consent decree on Columbia over campus antisemitism — WSJ
[IsraelTimes] The Trump administration is working to force Columbia University into a consent decree that would legally bind the school to follow federal guidelines in how it combats antisemitism, the Wall Street Journal reports. The newspaper, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter, reports that the potential consent decree is part of the administration’s negotiations with the university over freeing up $400 million in federal funding that has been blocked.
Columbia University says in an emailed statement that it “remains in active dialogue with the Federal Government to restore its critical research funding.”
Any consent decree with Columbia could last for years and would give a federal judge oversight powers for ensuring that the school adheres to any agreements it meets with the federal government on how it addresses antisemitism, the Journal says.

A video from the Princeton Palestine Liberation Coalition, meanwhile, showed a fire alarm going off. In a sane world this act of documenting their action would result in university and civil charges for ..."shouting 'Fire!' in a crowded theater".
[NYPOST] Anti-Israel demonstrators marched in Times Square on Saturday night to protest the apprehension and imprisonment of Columbia graduate student Mahmoud Khalil.
Animated Khalil advocates braved the rain in midtown, chanting and displaying signs that included ''Free Mahmoud Khalil Now!,'' ''Hands Off Our Students,'' and a variety of other slogans.
Controversial anti-Israel advocate Linda Sarsour spoke at the event and rallied the protestors around the former Columbia student.
On Friday, Louisiana immigration judge Jamee Comans ruled that the Trump administration can deport the Syrian-born Khalil over his involvement in the wild anti-Israel demonstrations at Columbia University in 2024.
Lawyers for Khalil ripped the decision, harping on the free speech considerations at play in the deportation case.
''Our constitution allows people to speak their minds,'' Khalil lawyer Marc van der Hout said Friday after the decision. The constitution doesn't extend any rights to foreigners to come here and attempt to terrorize or damage our citizens. The first words are "To provide for the common defense and to ensure domestic tranquility, we the people..." That's from memory, so it might be a few words off. The phrasing kinda sticks with you if you've bothered to read it.
[Jpost] The IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) struck a Hamas command and control center located within the Al Ahli Hospital in northern Gaza on Sunday, the military announced.
The center was reportedly used to plan and coordinate attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers.
Medics claimed that two Israeli missiles hit a building inside a main Gaza hospital, destroying the emergency and reception department and damaging other structures.
Health officials at the Al-Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital evacuated the patients from the building after one person said he received a call from someone who identified himself with the Israeli security shortly before the attack took place.
Measures were taken to minimize civilian harm, including advance warnings, precise munitions, and aerial surveillance, the IDF claimed.
The IDF emphasized that Hamas continues to violate international law by operating within civilian infrastructure and using the population as human shields. Military officials reiterated their demand for an end to terrorist activity in Gaza’s medical facilities and stated their operations against Hamas would continue to protect Israel.
[IsraelTimes] The IDF says it has bolstered the West Bank division with six additional companies, whose troops will operate in the area over the Passover holiday.
Over the past week, the IDF says 85 wanted Palestinians were detained in the West Bank.
Saturday evening was the first night of Passover, when all good Jews stay up late eating unleavened bread, drinking wine, and discussing the exodus from Egypt. But apparently the IDF had other ideas about how to celebrate…
[LI] The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Saturday encircled Rafah, cordoning off the southern Gaza terrorist stronghold from the rest of the Strip, Israeli media reports say.
"The Israeli military said on Saturday it established effective full control over the southern Gaza city of Rafah following its completion of the Morag route, separating Rafah from Khan Younis," Israel’s i24NEWS reported.
The IDF is now in control of the Morag Corridor that separates Rafah from Khan Younis, and the strategic Philadelphi Corridor, the Hamas’ main weapons smuggling route from Egypt.
🚨 BREAKING: Rafah is sealed. The IDF just split Gaza in two. ⚡️Surprise assault: Golani from the east, 188th Brigade from the west. 🟪 Morag Axis secured. 🔵 Philadelphi choked. Hamas is now trapped—between sea, steel, and no escap. SHALOM HAMAS. pic.twitter.com/OfTfFKt0Q2
A rocket was launched from Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... at southern Israel on Saturday evening, Passover Eve, triggering sirens in several open areas near southern border towns.
The military said it successfully intercepted the rocket.
Following the launch, the IDF’s Arabic spokesperson called on residents of six neighborhoods in central Gaza’s Nuseirat area, from which the rocket was fired, to evacuate, saying strikes were incoming.
The practice has become standard throughout the war.
"This is a final advance warning before the attack!" Col. Avichay Adraee’s post said. "We will attack with great force every area from which rockets are launched... For your safety, you must move immediately south to the known shelters in Al Mawasi."
Earlier on Saturday, three rockets launched from Gaza at the border community of Nir Yitzhak were intercepted by air defenses. The rocket fire set off alerts in open areas but not in any towns. No one was hurt.
In response to the rocket fire, the IDF issued an evacuation order for the Khan Younis area.
Also on Saturday, the Israel Defense Forces said it had completed the seizure of the Morag Corridor in the southern Gaza Strip, cutting off the city of Rafah from Khan Younis.
The military said Rafah was now surrounded by its forces, with the 36th Division holding the Morag Corridor and the Gaza Division operating in the Philadelphi Corridor along the Egypt-Gaza border area.
Defense Minister Israel Katz called on Paleostinians to "remove Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... and release all the hostages" before the military further expands its operations in the Strip.
"This is the final moment to remove Hamas and release the hostages and bring about an end to the war," Katz said. "Intensive IDF activity will soon expand to additional places in most of Gaza, and you will have to evacuate the combat zones."
Israeli strikes reported in central Gaza; hospital building said hit after warning to leave
[IsraelTimes] Palestinians in Gaza reported multiple IDF strikes in the enclave’s center overnight. Medics said two Israeli missiles hit a building inside a hospital, destroying the emergency and reception department and damaging other structures. The Command-and-Control Center Cafeteria was destroyed. It was a humanitarian outrage!
Health officials at the Al-Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital evacuated the patients from the building after one person said he received a call from someone who identified himself with the Israeli security forces shortly before the attack took place.
”Knock, knock”
“Who’s there?”
“Avon calling. Can we interest you in our latest lipstick shade?
….Just kidding — it’s the IDF. You need to get everyone out of the building NOW!!!”
No casualties were reported, according to the civil emergency service.
Israel has made no comment on the strike as of yet.

[IsraelTimes] Age and make of landmine that detonated not clear; explosion marks second military accident in as many days after Golani soldier in Gaza apparently wounded by misfire
An Israel Defense Forces reservist was seriously maimed after being struck by a landmine when his unit mistakenly entered an Israeli minefield during operations on the Leb ...The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. Only one of those statements is an exaggeration.... border, the military said, adding that the incident was under further investigation.
The soldier was taken to a local hospital, which reported that his condition had improved and stabilized after he underwent surgery for his wounds.
It was unclear on which side of the border the earth-shattering kaboom occurred, nor whether the minefield was laid in the war against Hezbollah, which ended with a November 27 ceasefire that saw Israel withdraw from all but five points in south Lebanon.
It was also unclear if the mine in question was anti-tank or anti-personnel. Israel, along with several major powers, is not a signatory to the 1997 Ottawa Treaty banning the use of anti-personnel mines, but in 2011, it formed a governmental Mine Clearance Authority to clear minefields deemed unessential to state security.
Mines in Israel include Jordanian and Syrian ones laid mostly in the fifties and sixties, and Israeli ones that were mostly laid after the Six-Day War of 1967, as well as mines that drift over from Egypt, according to the Authority’s website, which says mines stay dangerous decades after they are laid.
