Israel carried out what it called a precise strike today on the senior leadership of the Hamas terrorist group in Qatar.

Daily Wire reporter Tim Pierce has more.

Key leaders of Hamas have been safely living in Qatar, away from the war in Gaza, since launching the terror attacks on Israel in 2023.

But on Tuesday, the Israel Defense Force says it took some of them out in a precision strike in a plush neighborhood of Doha, a longtime haven for the terror group's senior command.

The targets were known operatives tying to planning of the October 7th massacre.

Meanwhile, Qatar responded by condemning the attack, calling it a blatant violation of all international laws and norms.

The IDF said in a statement that prior to the strike, measures were taken in order to mitigate harm to civilians, including the use of precision munitions and additional intelligence.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made clear that it was a, quote, wholly independent Israeli operation.

The strike comes just days after President Trump gave his final warning to Hamas to hand over the rest of the hostages or face consequences.

Daily Wire reporter Zach Jewel has more.

The 34-year-old repeat offender is charged with one count of committing an act causing death on mass transportation.

Attorney General Pam Bondi says, quote, they will seek the maximum penalty for this unforgivable act.

This comes as Harmit Dillon, Assistant Attorney General for the DOJ's Civil Rights Division, says says that her office is looking to see if there is any racial bias in the city's law enforcement policies, as well as in the motivation behind the unprovoked stabbing death of a Ukrainian refugee.

allegedly stabbed her repeatedly in the neck.

Here's Dylan speaking to Benny Johnson.

I am looking at other cities for their race-based prosecution and know if there are law enforcement officials in Charlotte who have information about similar race-based arrest patterns, prosecution patterns, or plea agreements in that city that favor one race over the other or others, then we would very much want to hear about that because that would be a due process and equal protection issue and illegal under our federal civil rights laws.

President Trump is citing the murder as evidence of failed leadership in Democrat-led cities.

In a brief Oval Office address posted on X, Trump said Americans have been forced to put up with savage, bloodthirsty criminals accusing left-wing judges and politicians of embracing catch-and-release policies.

We saw the results of these policies when a 23-year-old woman who came here from Ukraine met her bloody end on a public train.

She was slaughtered by a deranged monster.

A new House bill would close a loophole that lets millions of illegal immigrants work in the U.S.

Daily Wire senior editor Joel Needler has more.

A Texas Republican introduced legislation Tuesday that he says would protect millions of American jobs from illegal aliens.

Congressman Brandon Gill's Protection Act would strip the executive branch of authority to grant work authorization to illegal immigrants.

Gill said that his bill would stop future administrations from using federal law to hand out jobs to people who illegally crossed into the country.

Gill told the Daily Wire, quote, President Trump has done more for American workers and their families than any other president.

He added that it's, quote, crucial that we prevent any future administrations from doing anything to stand in the way of their success, including using work permits to usher in more illegal immigration.

South Korea is sending a chartered plane to Atlanta to bring home illegal immigrants swept up in last week's massive ICE raid at a Georgia battery plant.

As part of Trump's tariff deal, South Korea has pledged tens of billions of dollars of investments in American manufacturing.

Treasury Secretary Scott Besant is warning that a Supreme Court ruling against Trump's tariffs could trigger a trillion-dollar economic disaster.

Besant said the U.S.

could be required to pay up to $1 trillion in refunds to importers if SCOTUS rules against the tariffs.

That could also crush America's economic leverage, saying that such a decision would cause a significant disruption.

The Treasury Secretary added, however, that the administration must follow the court's ruling.

Here with the details is Daily Wire reporter Amanda Press DiGiacomo.

Zanida Perez, an ESL teacher at Centerville High School, says a social worker was arranging and paying for minors to obtain abortions without parental knowledge or consent, which is required by Virginia law.

One of the underage girls was allegedly five months pregnant and said she wanted wanted to keep her baby, but felt she had no choice but to abort.

I'm not entirely sure this is legal to be teaching and this also very much goes against not only myself but a lot of people's religious beliefs and so I am not going to participate in this because it's it's not legal.

I'm not convinced that your

proposal will be effective in stopping me from teaching things so biologically true.

It was like we have the legal and ethical authority, building professional expertise in this classroom.

I'll be leaving.

Yeah, no, I am.

McLaughlin said, quote, the Trump administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement and instead trusts them to use common sense.

If a dangerous illegal alien felon were to flee into a school or a child sex offender is working as an employee, there may be a situation when an arrest is made to protect public safety, but this has not happened.

The comments come in response to legacy media headlines like the following, the New York Times, what if ICE agents show up?

And the Washington Post published this one.

This back-to-school season, educators prepare for ICE encounters.

And NBC ran an article that reads, the impact has been real.
