Fox News: Anti-Israel agitator charged in violent hate crime attack on two Jewish college students
Adam Erkan, 20, has been charged with a violent hate crime against two Jewish students at DePaul University, facing four felony counts, including aggravated battery and hate crime. The attack occurred while the students were advocating for Israel on campus last November.
Erkan allegedly approached one student with antisemitic slurs and was later identified through surveillance footage. The victims suffered serious injuries, prompting a lawsuit against the university for allowing antisemitic rhetoric. Erkan is being held without bail as authorities continue to search for a second suspect.
Fox News: Hamas terror group reportedly buckling under financial strain amid Israeli military gains and growing unrest
Hamas is reportedly facing a severe financial crisis amid Israel's military campaign, with salary payments to employees halted and operational funding dwindling due to tightened blockades. While financial pressures are mounting, analysts suggest that ideology drives Hamas more than money, and they have historically managed to survive similar crises.
Protests against Hamas are gaining traction in Gaza, with demonstrators calling for an end to its rule, though the group has responded violently to dissent. Many Palestinians are also leaving Gaza due to the ongoing destruction and lack of basic needs, although options for relocation remain limited.

The price hikes come amid concerns about tariffs imposed by President Trump on China and Vietnam, where Nintendo manufactures its products. Critics have noted that the $450 price for the Switch 2 represents a significant increase from the original Switch's launch price of $300 in 2017.
