NYPD ramps up security at Jewish sites across NYC after Israeli strikes on Iran
The NYPD said it is ramping up security at Jewish sites across New York City after Israel launched strikes on Iran overnight. The precautionary measures aim to protect Jewish communities amid heightened tensions in the Middle East. "Out of an abundance of caution, we're deploying additional resources to Jewish, Israeli and other sites throughout NYC," the NYPD wrote on X late Thursday as the attacks were unfolding. Who Were 2 Of The Top Iranian Generals Killed In Israeli Strikes? "We're coordinating with our federal partners and we'll continue to monitor for any potential impact to NYC." New York City Mayor Eric Adams said he had been briefed on the unfolding situation in Israel and Iran, and that the NYPD's Counterterrorism Unit is closely monitoring the situation. Read On The Fox News App "Out of an abundance of caution, we are increasing security at houses of worship and at Israeli diplomatic sites,' Adams wrote on X. "I am praying for peace in the region." Adams and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch are scheduled to hold a joint press briefing later today ahead of anti-ICE protests already planned for the weekend. Meanwhile, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said that there are no credible threats to New York at this time. She said security and cybersecurity protections for sensitive locations have been stepped up in the state. Israel Launches 'Operation Rising Lion' On Iran, Targeting Nuclear Facilities, Tehran "My priority is keeping New Yorkers safe," Hochul wrote on X. There has also been increased security outside the Israeli embassy in Washington D.C., Fox 5 reported. The Community Security Service, a group that trains volunteer synagogue security guards in New York City and other U.S. cities, told its network to remain vigilant and report suspicious behavior. It also told its network to review security protocols and request increased police presence. The heightened tensions across the state come as Israel carried out targeted attacks on Iran's nuclear and missile infrastructure. The strikes took out at least 20 senior Iranian commanders, including Gen. Hossein Salami, the leader of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, the chief of staff of the Iranian armed forces, as well as several nuclear scientists. The sweeping strikes, called "Operation Rising Lion," followed months of attempted and seemingly failed nuclear negotiations. Following Israel's preemptive attack on Iran, the Navy directed the guided-missile destroyer USS Thomas Hudner to begin sailing toward the Eastern Mediterranean and has directed a second destroyer to begin moving closer to Israel as well, a U.S. official tells Fox News. This echoes a move the US made in April 2024 after Iran shot ballistic missiles at Israel. At the time, USS Carney and USS Arleigh Burke shot down the missiles.

Lake Mead's Shrinking Waters Spark Boat Problem
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. As water levels at Lake Mead keep dropping, officials are actively removing abandoned boats, describing them as "eyesores" on the landscape, says Fox 5. Why It Matters Lake Mead provides essential water to millions across Nevada, Arizona, California, and parts of Mexico. But falling water levels may threaten municipal water supplies, agricultural irrigation, and hydroelectric power generation. Lake Mead and the "bathtub ring" are shown along the Colorado River near the Hoover Dam on March 14, 2025 in Boulder City, Nevada. Lake Mead and the "bathtub ring" are shown along the Colorado River near the Hoover Dam on March 14, 2025 in Boulder City, To Know Many boats have since been removed as levels drop, officials describing the task as a priority, the outlet reported. "That's why we want to clean up some of the boats that are left," Lake Mead National Recreation Area superintendent Mike Gauthier said in a 2023 clip published by Fox 5. "The visuals are really unattractive and don't help the park." Park officials told Fox 5 that the abandoned boats pose a danger to boaters. As more visitors are drawn to them, the sites can become littered with trash and graffiti, the outlet reported. The cleanup effort has been underway for some time, yourNEWS reported. As far back as 2023, officials were seeking volunteers to help remove abandoned boats from the growing stretches of exposed terrain, it said. Lake Mead is the largest reservoir in the U.S., capable of storing nearly 29 million acre-feet of water. Close behind is Lake Powell, with a capacity of around 26 million acre-feet. Recent forecasts lowered runoff into Lake Powell to just 55 percent of average, down from an earlier estimate of 67 percent, due to an underwhelming winter snowpack. Lake Mead, which receives flows from Lake Powell, hit critically low levels during the summer of 2022, following years of drought. At the time of writing, Lake Mead's water levels were 1,055.86 feet mean sea level, 173.14 feet below its full pool of 1,229, according to Lakes Online, an online resource for lake and reservoir information. What People Are Saying Lake Mead National Recreation Area Superintendent Mike Gauthier said in a statement, as reported by Fox 5: "We have an opportunity—and a responsibility—to clean up and protect this incredible resource. Through efforts like Love Lake Mead program, we're inviting the community to be part of the solution." What Happens Next A recent study found that increasing wastewater recycling to 40 percent in the Colorado River Basin could save around 900,000 acre-feet of water each year, which would be enough to supply nearly two million homes. Meanwhile, the states that depend on the Colorado River have been in talks to establish new water-sharing agreements by 2026.

Harvey Weinstein Says He Has ‘Regrets' and ‘Acted Immorally' Ahead of New York Retrial Verdict: ‘But Never Illegal, Never Criminal'
Harvey Weinstein gave a rare interview as he awaits the verdict in his New York sex crimes retrial, saying that he has 'regrets' that he 'acted immorally' but claiming that it was 'never illegal.' In an exclusive phone conversation on Fox 5's 'Good Day New York,' anchor Rosanna Scotto asked the former Hollywood producer and convicted sex offender what he thought of the women who had testified against him, and if he has any regrets. 'I think Arthur said they had 4 million reasons to testify, as in dollars,' Weinstein said, referring to his lawyer Arthur Aidala. More from Variety Harvey Weinstein's New York Retrial Closes With Prosecutors Urging Jury to 'Let Him Know the Rules Apply to Him' Ahead of Deliberations Harvey Weinstein Was the 'One Being Abused,' Defense Says in Retrial Closing Argument; Prosecution Calls Him 'No Victim' Harvey Weinstein Doesn't Plan to Testify at New York Retrial 'I have regrets that I put my family through this, that I put my wife through this, and I acted immorally,' Weinstein continued. 'I put so many friends through this and hurt people that were close to me by actions that were stupid, you know what I mean? But never illegal, never criminal, never anything.' Weinstein, who was found guilty on three of seven charges in an L.A. sexual assault trial in 2022 and sentenced to 16 years in prison, is being retried in New York after his previous convictions in the state were overturned in 2024. He has been charged with two counts of committing a 'criminal sexual act' in the first degree and one count of third-degree rape. Closing arguments in the retrial wrapped on Wednesday, and jury deliberations began on Thursday. Scotto also asked Weinstein why he decided not to testify in the retrial. Though he said he 'wanted to,' Weinstein added that Aidala 'said to me that the jury was very feeling strongly, that the jury understood our case and would be sympathetic to our case and that the DA would try to rip me apart if I took the stand.' Weinstein continued, 'I'm not afraid of the DA, but this was the best advice and this is the advice you often hear: don't take the stand if you don't have to.'
