According to multiple reports, Israeli special forces have been carrying out intelligence-gathering raids in Lebanon ahead of an expected ground invasion in the next few days. 

On Sunday, Elon Musk said that electing former President Donald Trump in November is the “only way” to save the country. Musk’s statement was in response to an X post from Sen.

The man Israel described as the leader of Hamas in Lebanon was a United Nations employee, the agency confirmed Monday. Fateh Al Sharif was killed during an Israeli military strike in Lebanon, Sky News reported, citing the Israeli military. The U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) confirmed that Sharif was an employee of the agency but had been on “administrative leave” since March while under investigation for his political activities. “Fateh Al Sharif was an UNRWA employee who was put on administrative leave without pay in March, and was undergoing an investigation following allegations that UNRWA received about his political activities,” UNRWA told The Times of Israel. Sharif, his wife, and children were killed on Monday during an Israeli airstrike that targeted their house in the al-Bass refugee camp in Tyre, Lebanon, on Monday. Sharif was reportedly the principal of a UNRWA-run secondary school in the area. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Sharif “led the Hamas terrorist organization’s force build-up efforts in Lebanon and operated to advance Hamas’ interests in Lebanon, both politically and militarily.” In March, UNRWA said that it had suspended Sharif over allegations that he was participating in activities “that are in violation of the Agency’s regulatory framework governing staff conduct.” His suspension led to widespread protests and strikes by teachers in the area, the Times reported. Like Hezbollah, Hamas is backed by Iran. Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! In August, the U.N. fired multiple UNRWA employees after finding evidence that they had been involved in the October 7 terrorist attacks on Israel, The Daily Wire reported at the time. A total of nine male UNRWA employees were fired. Deputy spokesperson Farhan Haq told a U.N. briefing at the time that “the evidence was sufficient to conclude that they may have been involved” in the attacks, which saw thousands of Palestinian terrorists enter Israel and murder 1,200 people while wounding more than 5,000 and taking hundreds hostage. UNRWA finally admitted that some of its employees were terrorists after months of denials and claiming allegations were Israeli propaganda and “disinformation.” The U.N. finally launched an investigation after Israeli authorities provided evidence that linked UNRWA workers to the Hamas terrorist attacks. Earlier this year, Israel also discovered a top-secret Hamas intelligence center beneath a UNRWA building in Gaza, The Daily Wire previously reported. The center included an electrical room, living space for terrorists, and industrial battery power banks. Also this year, it was discovered that about 10% of UNRWA’s 12,000 employees in Gaza were linked to terror groups across the Middle East, yet only a few were fired. Even after all this, the Biden-Harris administration has called for the UNRWA employees who helped Hamas to be immune from prosecution, The Daily Wire reported.

About 45,000 dockworkers plan to walk off the job on Tuesday, hobbling the supply chain and throwing a wrench into the presidential election. The International Longshoremen’s Association will launch a massive strike if port ownership does not meet the union’s demands for higher wages and address their objections to port automation. Negotiations broke down over the summer and the two sides are still at an impasse. The strike will shutter 36 ports on the East and Gulf Coasts, choking off nearly half of all U.S. imports and costing the economy billions of dollars a day. Depending on how long the strike lasts, Americans could see shortages and delays past the election and into the holiday season. Bananas, coffee, cocoa, pharmaceuticals, clothing, furniture, vehicles, and even Christmas decorations are among the products that will be affected. As far as American exports, beef, poultry, pork, eggs, and cotton will be impacted as well. Supply chain shortages could cause prices to rise just as families are trying to recover from the nearly 20% spike in prices since before the pandemic. The U.S. Maritime Alliance, which represents port ownership, said in a statement, “we value the work of the ILA and have great respect for its members. We have a shared history of working together and are committed to bargaining.” However, the alliance also filed an Unfair Labor Practice charge accusing the union of refusing to come to the table and negotiate. The current contract expires Monday. On Sunday, the union reaffirmed its plans to strike in a statement on social media, saying dock workers would hit the streets at midnight on October 1. “United States Maritime Alliance refuses to address a half-century of wage subjugation where Ocean Carriers profits skyrocketed from millions to mega-billion dollars, while ILA longshore wages remained flat. ILA unity remains strong and is growing,” the union said. Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! President Joe Biden indicated that he has no intention of stepping in and stopping the strike, which he could do under the Taft-Hartley Act, which allows the president to prevent strikes that would threaten national security or health. This would force union workers to stay on the job for another 80 days. On Sunday, Biden responded to a question about Israel’s strikes in Yemen by talking about the impending labor strike. “I’ve spoken to both sides. They’ve got to settle the strike. I support the collective bargaining effort. I think they’ll settle the strike,” Biden told reporters on the tarmac. No negotiations are scheduled before the strike is set to begin on Tuesday. Even a one-day strike would snarl supply chains for six days, according to industry insiders. A longer strike would take weeks or months to recover from. Meanwhile, the economy and inflation are top issues on voters’ minds this presidential election, now just five weeks away. Vice President Kamala Harris has struggled to win over voters with her economic message, with polls showing that a majority of voters favor former President Donald Trump on the economy.
