15 crews departed for Tampa on Wednesday morning to help repair damage expected from Hurricane Milton.

Joppa, MD - Oct. 9, 2024 - (FOX45) An all-electric 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning caught fire while charging outside a home in Joppa, MD, damaging the garage and two other vehicles. The owner sustained minor burns while trying to disconnect the charging vehicle. The fire spread to the garage but was contained before reaching the house, which sustained heat, smoke, and water damage. The family of four is displaced but is self-assisting. The fire originated from the vehicle's battery pack, and smoke alarms inside the home did not activate as the fire was outside.
Izzat al-Rishq, a member of the political bureau of Hamas, ruled out the possibility of an agreement with Israel under which the leadership of Hamas in the Gaza Strip will be deported to Sudan.
"Deporting Hamas or its leaders from Gaza is an Israeli dream and illusion that will not come true," he stated.
"The report in one of the enemy's newspapers regarding the deportation of Hamas leaders to Sudan is a stupid statement," al-Rishq said. "We said in the past and we repeat and say now, that Hamas is in Palestine, fighting the enemy that is occupying Palestine."
He added that "logic requires that the criminal occupier leave and the original inhabitants of the land remain."
The Hamas official’s comments follow a report on Reshet Bet radio which said that, in September...

Baltimore, MD - Oct. 9, 2024 - Maryland's top candidates for U.S. Senate, Larry Hogan (R) and Angela Alsobrooks (D), will meet in a Thursday televised debate.

With Sukkos fast approaching, many travelers have raised questions regarding the transport of Arba Minim. In response, Chaim V’Chessed reached out to the office of Israel’s Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Moshe Abutbul, to clarify the ministry’s current rules for passengers arriving at Ben Gurion Airport.
Ministry officials explained that travelers are permitted to bring one esrog for personal use.
