Ousted US General Warned of Missile Defense Shortage Before Iran War

Ousted US General Warned of Missile Defense Shortage Before Iran War

A now-ousted U.S. general warned of critical missile defense munition shortages before the war with Iran, with stockpiles potentially remaining low until 2030. Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George's analysis, included in a Pentagon plan, cited transfers to Ukraine, munitions used defending Israel, and production issues. Officials estimate up to 61% of Patriot and 82% of THAAD interceptors may have been expended, with replenishment taking years. The Pentagon has denied reports of shortages.

Wiz Founder Assaf Rappaport Set to Acquire McDonald's Israel Franchise

Businessman Assaf Rappaport and his Wiz co-founders are nearing a deal to acquire the franchise for McDonald's Israel, managing around 230 branches with 1.8 billion shekels in annual revenue. This follows McDonald's global repurchase of the Israeli operations in April 2024 amid boycotts. Rappaport's group, despite no prior food industry experience, emerged as the sole candidate after competing with other major Israeli business entities. The move signifies a major expansion for the founders beyond their tech ventures.

Redmi Note 17 Pro Max Review: Long Battery Life, Weak Performance

Redmi Note 17 Pro Max Review: Long Battery Life, Weak Performance

Xiaomi's Redmi Note 17 Pro Max features a 10,000 mAh battery that lasts over two and a half days, exceeding expectations. However, its performance is hampered by an 8GB RAM configuration and a Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 processor, leading to a less-than-smooth experience, especially in demanding applications. The device offers a large screen, basic cameras, and AI features, but its hardware limitations prevent it from being a top-tier mid-range option despite its impressive battery life. The phone is priced at around 2,200 NIS.

Avi Nesher's 'Our Loves' Transforms October 7 Tragedy Into Immersive Cinema

Avi Nesher's 'Our Loves' Transforms October 7 Tragedy Into Immersive Cinema

Director Avi Nesher's new film, 'Our Loves,' premiered in Israel, focusing on fictional characters whose lives intersect with the October 7 massacre. The movie builds suspense by first immersing viewers in the characters' personal dramas on October 6, before the attack unfolds. It has been praised for its cinematic approach, acting, and music, though it faced international criticism for not depicting the terrorists' perspective. The film aims to explore the human element of tragedy and love amidst extraordinary circumstances.
