Three quick second-half tallies lift Loons over Dynamo
Bongokuhle Hlongwane scored a brace as Minnesota United tallied three times in a 11-minute span midway through the second half en route to a 3-1 victory over Houston Dynamo on Wednesday night in Saint Paul, Minn. HT Image Robin Lod also scored a goal and Wessel Speel finished with one save for the Loons , who sit in third place in Major League Soccer's Western Conference. Felipe Andrade scored a goal and Jonathan Bond had one save for Houston , which took its third straight loss. Hlongwane gave the Loons a 1-0 lead in the 60th minute. The midfielder finished a right-footed redirect from the left side of the 6-yard box off a Jefferson Diaz flick-on header from Michael Boxall's long throw-in. Three minute later, Hlongwane smashed in an Anthony Markanich cross from the left baseline to make it 2-0 with his third goal of the season. Lod extended the lead to 3-0 in the 70th minute, drilling a left-footed shot from the left side of the box into the far right corner off a long curling Julian Gressel cross from the right wing. Andrade broke up Speel's bid for his first career MLS clean sheet in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time when he netted a left-footed shot from the middle of the box into the left corner for his third goal. With both teams coming in off two-goal home losses, defense dominated during a chippy, foul-plagued scoreless first half. The two teams combined for just nine shot attempts compared to 20 total fouls, with each side getting just one shot on goal and one yellow card. Houston's best early scoring chance came in the eighth minute when defender Erik Sviatchenko fired a spinning left-footed shot from the center of the box that Speel easily saved. Minnesota's best attempt came in the 33rd minute after Lod stole the ball and passed to a wide-open Markanich at the left edge of the 6-yard box. Markanich scuffed his shot into the side of the net. Boxall, named to his first MLS All-Star team earlier in the day, was originally called for a foul in the penalty box after a slide tackle on Sebastian Kowalczyk in first-half stoppage time. However, after a lengthy video review, it was determined that the foul occurred just outside the box. Ezequiel Ponce's ensuing free kick was then blocked by the wall.

Two cousins killed in Kafr Kassem shooting, suspect arrested
The two victims, cousins Said and Udai Shaaban, both 27, were from Lod and were pronounced dead at Beilinson Medical Center in Petah Tikva. Two people were murdered in a parking lot next to a restaurant in the city of Kafr Kassem on Friday night, police stated. The two victims, cousins Said and Udai Shaaban, both 27, were from Lod, according to Israeli media, and were pronounced dead at Beilinson Medical Center in Petah Tikva. Police arrested a 22-year-old suspect in the murders on Highway 40. The suspect is a resident of Ramle, and he will be brought to a hearing with a request to extend his detention. Police are further investigating the incident, with the background likely being criminal, and that it originated from a conflict between two families in the city. Video documentation released from the shooting showed many people trying to take cover, with some shouting for help. Another person was moderately wounded in the incident and was evacuated for medical treatment, Israeli media reported. Magen David Adom personnel said they found the two murdered victims already not breathing when they arrived at the scene of the attack, Israeli media reported. The day before the attack in Kafr Kassem, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara due to her absence from a meeting that discussed combating violence and crime in Arab society. "I'm the prime minister, and I'm here—she doesn't show up. Isn't human life important enough?" KAN quoted him as saying.

Messi scores, but short-handed Inter Miami blown out at Minnesota United 4-1
Bongokuhle Hlongwane, Anthony Markanich and Robin Lod each scored goals to lead Minnesota United to a 4-1 victory over Inter Miami on Saturday afternoon in St. Paul, Minn. Minnesota (6-2-4, 22 points) won its second consecutive MLS match and third in a row across all competitions. The Loons handed Inter Miami (6-2-3, 21 points) its most lopsided loss in league play this season. Miami played without forward Luis Suarez, who did not make the trip due to personal reasons, and without left winger Fafa Picault due to illness. Lionel Messi scored his sixth goal this season in MLS play three minutes into the second half to cut Miami's deficit at the time to 2-1. Messi struck when he took a feed from Jordi Alba in the box and quickly redirected the ball into the back of the net near the back post. But disaster struck later in the second half for Inter Miami when Marcelo Weigandt tried to head away a corner kick by Minnesota's Joaquín Pereyra, but unintentionally tapped the ball into his own goal to push the Loons' edge to 3-1 in the 68th minute. Moments later, Minnesota took advantage of the momentum swing on a brilliant play by Tani Oluwaseyi, who beat his defender and delivered a perfect cross to Lod. As he came racing up the middle of the field, Lod fired a shot past Inter Miami goalkeeper Oscar Ustari to stretch the lead to three in the 70th minute. Minnesota scored on set pieces twice. The first came just before halftime on a throw-in from Michael Boxall. The long toss was headed across the front of the goal by Nicolas Romero to the back post. Markanich positioned himself under the ball quickly and headed it past Ustari in the second minute of first-half stoppage time to give Minnesota a 2-0 lead. Hlongwane scored Minnesota's first goal in the 32nd minute off assists from Carlos Harvey and Pereyra, who drew three Miami defenders away from the goal and fed the ball to Harvey in space. Harvey then sent the ball forward quickly to Hlongwane, who snuck it past Ustari.

Yemen's Houthis announce air blockade on Israel prompting some airlines to halt operations
SANAA —The Houthi rebels in Yemen announced on Sunday evening the imposition of a comprehensive air blockade on Israel, in what it described as a response to the Israeli government's decision to expand its military operations in the Gaza Strip. In a statement broadcast by its media outlets, Houthi spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree called on international airlines to take the warning seriously in order to preserve the safety of their travelers, saying that the decision came into effect immediately. Sareei said, "We will impose the siege by repeatedly targeting Israeli airports, especially Lod (Ben Gurion) International Airport near Tel Aviv. "We will not accept the continuation of the state of lawlessness that Israel is trying to impose on Arab countries, primarily Lebanon and Syria." The announcement followed the group's missile launch at Israel's main international airport, whose impact near an access road caused panic among passengers. The attack on Ben-Gurion International Airport came hours before Israeli Cabinet ministers were set to vote on whether to intensify military operations in Gaza. The army was calling up tens of thousands of reserves, Israel's chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, said. Israel's army said it was the first time a missile struck the airport grounds since the war in Gaza began. The military said initial findings indicated the likely cause was a technical issue with the interceptor. Israel's paramedic service, Magen David Adom, said four people were lightly wounded. Multiple international airlines canceled or postponed flights. The war with Hamas in Gaza and then Hezbollah in Lebanon led to a wave of airlines suspending flights to Israel. Many had resumed in recent months. Israel has vowed to respond to the Houthi attack in "sevenfold." Houthi rebels have fired at Israel since the war with Gaza began on 7 October 2023. The missiles have mostly been intercepted, although some have penetrated Israel's missile defence systems, causing damage. Israel has struck back against the rebels in Yemen. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the US was supporting Israeli operations against the Houthis. 'It's not bang, bang, and we're done, but there will be bangs,' he said. In a later statement, he added Israel would respond to the Houthis 'AND, at a time and place of our choosing, to their Iranian terror masters.' — Euronews
