About this listen
- Scorpion Drone Unit Operational in Middle East
- Carlson Urges Jewish Genetic Testing
- Skiboky Stora Convicted of Bias Attacks
The time is now 6:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In the conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the Pentagon’s first US kamikaze drone unit, Task Force Scorpion, is now operational in the Middle East and prepared to act if President Trump orders strikes on Iran. The unit is equipped with low-cost LUCAS one-way attack drones, priced at about $35,000 each, designed to target softer sites such as missile installations. While it represents only a small part of the broader US military buildup, any deployment would mark the unit’s first combat use and could support efforts to expand the military’s use of drones.
In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Tucker Carlson has pushed genetic testing for Jews as part of a discussion of the long-discredited Khazar theory that Ashkenazi Jews descend from a Turkic minority rather than the ancient tribes of Israel. Carlson suggested Israelis should undergo genetic testing to determine rightful claim to the land, asking, “Why don’t we do genetic testing on everybody in the land and find out who Abram’s descendants are?” The broader claim that genetic lineage should determine political rights remains controversial and widely challenged. Noting the Khojaly massacre, an opinion piece observes that Azerbaijan marks 34 years since the 1992 killings in which 613 residents were killed, including women and children; memory of those events is described as deeply resonant in Baku and linked to current understandings of regional history. A Brooklyn man, Skiboky Stora, 42, was convicted of a series of bias-driven attacks in Lower Manhattan, including an antisemitic assault on a Jewish couple in Union Square; he was found guilty of assault, stalking, attempted assault and aggravated harassment, all as hate crimes.
