>Did We Just Sacrifice a Red Heifer for Real?
>Viral posts claim that a recent dry run of the red heifer purification ceremony (ritually slaughtering and burning a perfect red heifer, as outlined in Numbers 19) was actually the real deal, paving the way for the construction of the Third Temple, the restoration of the sacrificial system, and the return of the Messiah.
>By Stinson’s account, the procedure was not only a success, but also the first valid red heifer ritual in 2,000 years.
>“I just think the world needs to know,” Stinson wrote on Facebook. “The ceremony went perfect. With a perfect priest. In a place outside of the camp. And, in the opinion of those I respect, we used a perfect red heifer.”
>That’s an opinion shared by Adam King. The Jewish social media podcast personality made the announcement on TimCast, a video podcast program with millions of viewers.
>“It was a real offering, they did it all by the laws,” King says in a viral clip. “The red heifer people, they fooled everybody and successfully performed the ritual.”

>North Korea has transferred missile technology to Iran over more than 40 years, evolving from early Scud missile supplies to capabilities approaching intercontinental ballistic missiles, while also helping build factories, underground facilities and naval systems, according to U.S. experts.
>North Korean engineers were involved in building underground nuclear-related facilities in Natanz and Isfahan
>Separately, an Israeli research center reported that North Korean arms exporter Korea Mining Development Trading Corporation helped build two tunnels in Lebanon for Hezbollah, measuring about 25 miles (40 kilometers) and 45 miles (72 kilometers)
>Bechtol said North Korea has also generated significant revenue through military cooperation. Citing research from the Korea Institute for Defense Analyses, he estimated that Pyongyang earned about $20 billion over roughly 15 months from transactions with Russia since late 2023

>The Egyptian military has begun large-scale live-fire exercises very close to the Israeli border, reportedly around 100 meters from the fence.
>These exercises come amid an accelerated Egyptian military buildup in Sinai, including the deployment of large forces, tanks, and air defense systems.
>Egypt is arming itself at a scale that raises questions about its priorities. Had Cairo spent less on weapons over the previous decade, it might have been in a less severe economic position today.
>Israel must not give in to this behavior. It should file a formal protest with the US, the mediator and guarantor of the peace framework, over Egypt’s dangerous conduct near the border and the erosion of the security understandings that have preserved peace for decades.

>The current drills fit into a broader Israeli concern regarding Egypt’s sustained military buildup in Sinai, including increased troop numbers, armored deployments, air-defence assets, and infrastructure expansion inside areas historically treated as restricted zones.
>Israeli observers have cited the presence of approximately 40,000 troops alongside tanks, armored personnel carriers, and advanced air-defence systems such as the Chinese-built HQ-9B as evidence that Cairo’s posture increasingly exceeds narrow counterterrorism requirements.
>Their concern is intensified by the symbolic use of the “red side” designation during the drills, because in military simulation language it explicitly refers to opposing-force scenarios rather than neutral border security operations.
