Hezbollah rockets hit Haifa, Israel’s third-largest city, on Monday in the first direct attack on the city since the conflict began.

Hezbollah’s ‘Fadi 1’ missiles landed in Haifa early Monday morning as the country began to mark the one-year anniversary of the Oct. 7 massacre. Two rockets hit Haifa and five more hit the city of Tiberias, which lies about 40 miles away.

‘This was the first real hit in the city,’ Haifa’s mayor, Yona Yahav, said in a statement.

Israeli media said 10 people were injured across the two cities, and police in Haifa confirmed reports of minor injuries as well as damage to buildings.

In response, Israel says IDF fighter jets struck targets they said belonged to Hezbollah’s intelligence headquarters in Beirut.

The exchange of fire comes as Israel continues to issue warnings about a response to Iran’s massive missile attack against Israel that occurred last week. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant issued an ominous warning to Iranian officials during an interview with Fox News on Sunday.

During an exchange with Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst on Sunday, Gallant promised that Israeli forces are considering all options in terms of its response to Iran’s attacks against Israel, including potentially striking Iranian nuclear sites.

‘At the moment, everything is on the table,’ the Israeli official said. ‘Israel will respond to the unprecedented Iranian attack in the manner of our choosing, and at the time and place of our choosing.’

President Biden told reporters last week that he would not support a strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities, but said Israel had the right to act ‘proportionately’ to Iran. On Saturday, Vice President Kamala Harris vowed to send $157 million of ‘additional assistance’ to Lebanon, which, she claimed, is ‘facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation.’

‘I am concerned about the security and well-being of civilians suffering in Lebanon and will continue working to help meet the needs of all civilians there,’ Harris said.

Several high-profile volunteers with the group Women for Trump flew to Georgia to provide relief for victims of Hurricane Helene in the group’s first mission before they crisscross the country to support communities in need.

RNC co-chair Lara Trump, former DNC vice chair and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, former Georgia GOP Sen. Kelly Loeffler, former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick, and former ESPN anchor Sage Steele launched their ‘Save America’ tour on Thursday in Austell, Georgia. 

The group traveled to Austell via commercial air. Their travel was paid for by the Trump campaign, the group said.

The group donated thousands of dollars of supplies to Sweetwater Mission – a social services organization in Austell that helps to prevent hunger and homelessness – with the assistance of Goya Cares. 

‘They put us on the map. We got a call from a woman in New Mexico wanting to donate to us. And we said, ‘How did you know about us?’ This woman was watching the rally with President Trump and the chyron on the screen read that Lara Trump was going to be visiting Sweetwater Mission with Goya Foods,’ Sweetwater Mission executive director Pat Soden said to Lara Trump. 

‘You’ve put us on the map, and I can’t thank you enough.’ 

Lara Trump said, in turn, Women for Trump is ‘incredibly grateful for Goya Cares,’ because they have ‘allowed us to donate thousands of pounds of non-perishable food for the people of this community.’ 

‘We’re here in the wake of Hurricane Helene and honored to be able to give back,’ Lara Trump said. ‘We’ve also been able to secure water, blankets, diapers, and items to meet the immediate needs of those impacted by Hurricane Helene.’

But Lara Trump said this is ‘just the beginning.’ 

‘We’re kicking off our Women for Trump tour in Georgia, and we’ll be headed all over the country supporting communities across this great country,’ Trump said. 

Reflecting on the visit, Gabbard told Fox News Digital that it was a ‘privilege to shine a light on the incredibly inspiring impact local Georgia nonprofits like Sweetwater Mission are having on those who need help the most.’ 

‘I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to join Lara Trump, Sage Steele, Danica Patrick and many volunteers to pitch in and thank the hardworking staff and volunteers, especially during a time of great hardship and desperate need in the wake of Hurricane Helene,’ Gabbard said. 

Hurricane Helene killed at least 232 people as the storm tore through the southeast. Hundreds more are still unaccounted for from the deadliest mainland U.S. hurricane since Katrina.

Women for Trump are expected to travel across the country, with each visit focused on philanthropic efforts to support communities in need.  

Sen. JD Vance blasted the Biden-Harris administration on Monday for not doing enough to bring home the hostages that Hamas took from Israel during the deadly Oct. 7 attack one year ago.

Vance, R-Ohio, spoke during the Philos Project’s Memorial Rally and March on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., briefly taking aim at President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

‘I’m going to get a little political here. It is disgraceful that we have an American president and vice president who haven’t done a thing,’ Vance said. ‘Vice President Harris, our message is, ‘Bring them home.’ Use your authority to help bring them home. We can do it. We just need real leadership.’

Iran-backed Hamas terrorists launched a massacre against Israel in the Oct. 7 attack last year, killing about 1,200 people, including 46 U.S. citizens, and taking about 250 hostages. A year later, about 100 people, including several Americans, remain in Hamas captivity, as U.S.-led efforts to negotiate a cease-fire and hostage release deal have sputtered out.

The attack sparked a war in Gaza, where Israel has moved to eliminate Hamas and return those taken hostage. Israel’s military campaign has killed more than 41,000 Palestinians, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, which does not distinguish between militants and civilians.

Harris came under fire Sunday for a lengthy ‘word salad’ answer in which she appeared unable to fully commit to Israel during an interview with CBS’ ’60 Minutes.’

Meanwhile, Vance gave full-throated support for Israel, saying that former President Trump will make sure Israel has the right to protect itself and that the hostages are returned home.

‘I speak for Donald Trump and saying that when he is president, America will protect our American Jewish brothers and sisters. We will stop funding anti-American and anti-Jewish radicals. And we are going to bring home American hostages wherever they’re held and whoever is holding them,’ he said.

‘We want to give Israel the right and the ability to finish what Hamas started. Israel didn’t start this. Hamas did. But Israel is going to finish it,’ Vance continued.

: The State Department is facing heightened pressure to disclose information regarding its climate office staff members after a new lawsuit accuses them of stonewalling. 

Power the Future (PTF), an energy watchdog group, submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for an unredacted list of former Special Presidential Envoy for Climate (SPEC) John Kerry’s staff in January.

SPEC has an estimated $13.9 million annual budget from the State Department with approval for 45 personnel, Fox News Digital previously reported, but Kerry has remained quiet about his climate staff over the years.

PTF filed a lawsuit against the State Department in February after reportedly experiencing a system of delays in the disclosure of the names and job titles of Kerry’s staff, which they said were highly redacted in its initial release. As of September, the department has reportedly not disclosed all the members of the climate office, prompting PTF to take their action a step further, Fox News Digital has learned. 

A new PTF complaint, filed on Oct. 3, claims that the Biden administration’s ‘climate’ operation at SPEC is displaying a ‘clear pattern and practice’ of delayed FOIA responses. 

The lawsuit, one of 14 filed by PTF against the State Department, also names the Department of Justice and U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia on claims that they are keeping information regarding SPEC’s operations from the public. 

‘For years, Power The Future has sought legitimate information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) on John Kerry’s Climate Office, its budget, staff, mission, and outside coordination, and for years we have been told, ‘No,’’ Daniel Tuner, Founder & Executive Director of PTF, told Fox News Digital.

The suit also claims that the agency is going against congressional standards for FOIA response times.

‘Despite previous lawsuits, this administration continues to coordinate a blockade keeping any information about this secret office from reaching the public, especially before the November election,’ Turner said. ‘John Kerry is not above the law, and the weaponization of federal agencies turning them into the political machine demonstrates a level of corruption typical of the green movement but deeply disturbing in our federal government.’

The House Oversight Committee launched an investigation into the office of the SPEC regarding potential conflict of interests between the office’s staff members and ‘leftist environmental groups.’

Kerry stepped down as Biden’s climate envoy in January and was replaced by John Podesta.

Efforts to reach the State Department, the DOJ, the SPEC and the federal U.S. Attorney for D.C. were unsuccessful. 

Secretary of State Antony Blinken vowed Monday that the U.S. ‘will continue to work tirelessly’ to bring home the four American hostages who have now been held by Hamas for more than a year inside the Gaza Strip. 

The four that remain — Keith Siegel, 65, Sagui Dekel-Chen, 36, Omer Neutra, 22, and Edan Alexander, 21 — were abducted by the Palestinian terrorist group exactly one year ago Monday on Oct. 7, 2023. The abductions took place alongside the murder of approximately 1,200 Israelis.

‘Hamas also took 254 people hostage that day, including 12 Americans. Four of those Americans – Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Itay Chen, Judy Weinstein, and Gad Haggai – were murdered by Hamas. Four were released through an agreement the United States negotiated last November, but four remain in captivity in Gaza: Edan Alexander, Keith Siegel, Sagui Dekel-Chen, and Omer Neutra,’ Blinken said in a statement. 

‘There are also an estimated 97 other hostages who remain held in Gaza today. They include men, women, young boys, young girls, two babies, and elderly people from more than 25 nations,’ Blinken added. ‘Hamas should release these hostages immediately. Every single one of them must be returned to their families, and the United States will continue to work tirelessly to bring them home.’ 

Blinken, who on Monday called Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel the ‘largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust,’ also said ‘It is time to reach a ceasefire agreement that brings the hostages home, alleviates the suffering of the Israeli and Palestinian people, and ultimately brings an end to this war.’ 

The youngest of the hostages, 20-year-old Edan Alexander, graduated from Tenafly High School in New Jersey in 2022 before volunteering to serve with the IDF. 

‘He was kidnapped Oct. 7th from his post, from the IDF post, and since then, we have no additional information about this abduction,’ his father Adi has said. 

Adi and his wife Yael wrote an opinion piece in the New York Times in September saying that for hundreds of days ‘the world has failed our son and his fellow hostages: The Israeli government has abandoned them, too many countries have turned a blind eye, and while we’re grateful for the U.S. government’s steadfast support, its efforts have yet to yield results. 

Omer Neutra, 22, also volunteered to serve in the IDF, according to his parents Orna and Ronen. 

‘He’s like an all-American kid. He loved sports. He was accepted to Binghamton University, but decided to defer this school. And he went to Israel on a gap year, and he connected deeply with the country, with his peers, and he decided to volunteer to the IDF, and he was taken from his post,’ his mother Orna has said.

She recently told the New York Post from her home in Plainview, New York, ‘Our kid is a bargaining chip in this geopolitical nightmare, and we, the families, we’re just floating on this wave. We’re trying not to sink.’

Jonathan Dekel-Chen, whose 36-year-old son Sagui is still being held in Gaza following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, said in an interview with ‘Fox & Friends’ in September, ‘It is absolutely clear, the only way to get hostages home alive is by some kind of negotiated agreement with Satan.’ 

Dekel-Chen was abducted by Hamas in Kibbutz Nir Oz one year ago, according to the American Jewish Committee. The organization said he made sure his then-pregnant wife and his two daughters were safe in a shelter before confronting Hamas terrorists who had broken into his home. 

Last November, Elan Siegel, the daughter of 65-year-old Keith Siegel, wrote in a column for Fox News Digital, ‘They forced my parents, unassuming people filled with kindness and a quiet sensitivity, into my father’s car and took them to Gaza.’ 

Siegel’s wife Aviva later was released from captivity.  

‘It’s just cruel to think that he’s in such terrible conditions for so long,’ Aviva Siegel recently told the New York Post. ‘What they’re going through is the cruelest thing on Earth.’ 

The bodies of Americans Itay Chen 19, Gadi Haggai, 73, and his wife Judith Weinstein, 70, also remain held by Hamas in Gaza. 

Fox News’ Ashley Carnahan and Danielle Wallace contributed to this report. 

Vice President Kamala Harris said political candidates should have to ‘earn’ support from voters, despite previous criticism for becoming the Democratic presidential nominee without having to run in any primary election in 2024. 

Harris was asked about why voters still have reservations about her during a ’60 Minutes’ interview that aired Monday night. 

‘A quarter of registered voters still say they don’t know you, they don’t know what makes you tick,’ ’60 Minutes,’ journalist Bill Whitaker asked during a sitdown interview. ‘Why do you think that is? What’s the disconnect?’

‘It’s an election Bill, and I take it seriously that I have to earn everyone’s vote,’ Harris replied. ‘This is an election for President of the United States. No one should be able to take for granted that they can just declare themselves a candidate and automatically receive support.’

‘You have to earn it and that’s what I intend to do,’ she added. 

The Democratic Party has been accused by critics of anointing Harris as the party’s nominee after Biden abruptly ended his re-election bid following his first debate against former President Trump. 

Many Republicans and groups like Black Lives Matter accused the Democratic Party of installing Harris as its nominee and sidestepping the voting process. The Democratic Party coalesced around her, winning enough delegate support to secure the nomination at the Democratic National Convention in August. 

In response to the criticism, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the party’s presidential nominating process was ‘open,’ and Harris ‘won it,’ despite the absence of any such contest.
