Chaotic protests erupted in New York City ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Friday speech to the UN General Assembly. Over two dozen protesters were arrested at the demonstration, which took place across several locations in Manhattan. Protesters chanted “We’re going to get you,” outside of the Loews Regency New York Hotel, where protesters believed Netanyahu was staying, The New York Post reported. There were several scuffles, with police seen in footage captured by The Blaze national correspondent Julio Rosas.

The offensive’s goal is to make northern Israel safe enough for 60,000 Israelis to return to their homes after being displaced for 11 months following near-daily rocket attacks from Hezbollah on their communities. The Biden administration has been pushing for a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah. While Netanyahu’s office has acknowledged and thanked American efforts, it has pressed forward with its operation. “Our teams met to discuss the U.S. initiative and how we can advance the shared goal of returning people safely to their homes,” Netanyahu’s office said in a statement about the proposal. “We will continue those discussions in the coming days.” On Thursday, Israel announced it had secured an $8.7 billion U.S. aid package to support its ongoing military efforts, including $3.5 billion for essential wartime procurement and $5.2 billion for its air defense systems. Protests also erupted outside of Netanyahu’s Congressional address in July, with rioters breaking into his hotel to release bugs and burning the American flag.

Fox Weather reporter Bob Van Dillen interrupted his live coverage of Tropical Storm Helene in Atlanta on Friday morning to help a woman who was stuck in her car as flood waters continued to rise. Van Dillen, who was in North Atlanta, began his report for “Fox & Friends” just after 7:00 a.m. ET when a woman started crying for help behind him. The trapped woman can be heard screaming for help while Van Dillen is reporting on the scene. “You can see right here, this lady drove into the area that’s flooded out, and she’s screaming right now. I just called 911,” Van Dillen said. “She is still screaming,” the reporter added before turning around to tell the woman, “We got you. 911 [is] coming. You’re good. You’re good.” After the woman continued to call for help, Van Dillen told the “Fox & Friends” hosts that he would try to help her. When the show went back to Van Dillen, the meteorologist was seen carrying the woman on his back through chest-high water. “Fox Weather’s Bob Van Dillen saved a woman trapped in a car. Look at that!” Fox News anchor Steve Doocy said. “That guy is a hero!” Doocy added.

The reporter said the water level was rising so high that the woman was “almost neck deep submerged in her own car.” “I realized I’m with you guys, I’m on the air, but I can’t let it go,” he said. “I dropped everything, and I took my wallet out of my pants and went in there, waded in about chest deep.” Am I Racist?

She was in shock, she was cold, shivering, so I gave her one of my shirts,” Van Dillen added, saying that the woman warmed up in one of the Fox Weather vehicles before her husband picked her up. “That’s the type of guy Bob Van Dillen is. I’ve known Bob for probably 15 years,” said “Fox & Friends” host Janice Dean. “So don’t be humble, my friend. I was not surprised at all when you took off your gear and on live television said, ‘I’ve got to go do something.'” Around 25 people have been rescued from flooding caused by Tropical Storm Helene Thursday night into Friday morning, according to CNN. The storm, which slammed into northern Florida as a Category 4 hurricane on Thursday night, is moving northward over Georgia as a tropical storm.
