A freed Israeli hostage is speaking out about the horrific treatment he says he endured at the hands of Hamas.
Ram Blaslovsky told Israel Channel 13 that his Palestinian captors beat him and sexually abused him.
He said it is difficult for him to even talk about it now, but that they did things even the Nazis did not do.
meantime, along Israel's northern border with Lebanon,
Israeli tanks were seen on the move as jets struck three towns in southern Lebanon.
Government spokeswoman Shosh Bidrocheon said Hezbollah was the target,
adding that Israel will not allow the terror group to rearm and again threaten the Jewish state.
And the continuous terrorist activities by Hezbollah constitute a violation of the understanding between the ceasefire.
The Israeli military gave residents advance notice,
before the airstrikes urging them to evacuate,
and Israel's military yesterday confirmed that the remains Hamas handed over Wednesday night
were those of Joshua Mollel.
Mollel was a Tanzanian agricultural student who was killed in Israel during the October 7 attacks.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she plans to call it a career next year.
She made the announcement and a video message to her constituents in San Francisco.
I will not be seeking re-election to Congress.
With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service as you're proud represented.
Pelosi joined Congress in 1987 and was elected Speaker 20 years later becoming the first woman to hold that position.
The 85-year-old Democrat relinquished her leadership role three years ago.
The U.S. Supreme Court is backing, at least for now, a rule that requires passports to list the biological sex of its holder, not a person's self-identified gender.
World's Benjamin Iker reports.
The High Court is temporarily upholding the Trump administration rule that blocks a lower court decision
that would have allowed people identifying as transgender or non-binary to choose any sex on their passports.
President Trump's January executive order overturned a Biden-era policy that let applicants select either male or female or choose to list an X option.
The court said listing biological sex.
is simply stating a historical fact, and that is not discrimination.
The ruling maintains the Trump policy while lower courts review the case.
The three liberal justices dissented, arguing the rule could cause fear and anxiety for transgender passport holders.
