Ancient Burial Cave Discovered Amid Police Operation in Jerusalem

Ancient Burial Cave Discovered Amid Police Operation in Jerusalem

Israeli police recently stumbled on an ancient burial cave in an unlikely place while carrying out an operation in Jerusalem.The discovery was announced by the Israel Police, Israel’s civilian law enforcement agency, on Aug. 24.While carrying out an operation related to what police described as a “violent family conflict” in Silwan, a village in East Jerusalem, officers came upon the cave.The operation followed a deadly clash between feuding families that erupted into gunfire and Molotov cocktail attacks, according to The Jerusalem Post.The violence prompted police to launch an operation aimed at locating those involved in the conflict.“As part of the activity, Jerusalem Border Police officers conducted searches in Silwan and accompanied government authority representatives at a compound where individuals involved in the incident reside,” police said in a translated statement.An ancient burial cave and archaeological findings dating back to the Second Temple period were uncovered by Israel Police during an operational activity in Silwan. Israel Police/FacebookThe operation followed a deadly clash between feuding families that erupted into gunfire and Molotov cocktail attacks. Israel Police/FacebookOfficers then found the burial cave beneath a building — along with other “archaeological finds.”“Representatives of the Israel Antiquities Authority arrived at the scene, and an initial examination indicates that the graves date to the Second Temple period,” police said.“Security forces are securing the scene to allow for the continued handling and examination of the finds.”Rock-cut burial caves were commonly used as family tombs in Jerusalem during the Second Temple period, though officials did not provide a more precise date for the newly discovered graves.The Second Temple period lasted from roughly 516 BC to 70 AD, when Roman forces destroyed the temple during the First Jewish-Roman War.Pictures released by Israeli police show the dark interior of the rock-cut burial cave, with debris scattered across the floor.Officers found the burial cave beneath a building — along with other “archaeological finds.” Israel Police/FacebookThe Second Temple period lasted from roughly 516 BC to 70 AD, when Roman forces destroyed the temple during the First Jewish-Roman War. Universal History Archive/Universal Images Group via Getty ImagesFox News Digital reached out to the Israel Police and the Israel Antiquities Authority for additional comment.Jerusalem has been inhabited for thousands of years, and remnants of its ancient past are still emerging today.The cave is one of several archaeological finds recently uncovered in the Holy City.Earlier this summer, officials announced the discovery of charred wooden beams in Jerusalem dating back roughly 2,600 years — likely remnants of the destruction of Solomon’s Temple.Another major find came last year, when archaeologists uncovered the longest and best-preserved section of Jerusalem’s Hasmonean-era wall found to date.

Queen Camilla’s Humorous Comment Leaves Melania Trump Speechless

Queen Camilla’s Humorous Comment Leaves Melania Trump Speechless

While President Donald Trump and King Charles have stood in the spotlight during the royals’ state visit to the U.S., First Lady Melania Trump and Queen Camilla have also played important roles. On Tuesday, all four attended a ceremonial military review on the White House’s South Lawn as rain poured down. That prompted Camilla to make a very British comment, leaving Melania stunned.Queen Camilla and Melania Trump have spent some time together alone during the state visit. The U.S visit marks the third time they have met in a formal state visit setting. Meanwhile, it’s the first time Queen Camilla has stepped inside the walls of the White House since King Charles ascended the throne in 2022.When Donald and Melania visited the UK last year, the queen and the first lady spent some time together. They toured the famous Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House and the Royal Library, and this time, they once again got some alone time.While King Charles and President Trump met privately, Melania brought Camilla to the tennis pavilion, where they viewed historical artifacts.The relationship between the UK and the US has been strained in recent months, mainly because of the war in Iran. Speaking to CNN, royal expert and author Elizabeth Holmes explained that both Queen Camilla and Melania Trump are approaching their roles during the state visit in the same way.“Neither one of them is stealing any of the spotlight here. In this case, Charles and Trump are very much the focal point. And I would bet both men appreciate that. Certainly, Charles has had times in his life when he was not the focal point,” Holmes said, adding that the first lady as well as the queen are both representative of women who need to play this supporting part.”While both Queen Camilla and Melania Trump appear to enjoy each other’s company, they aren’t particularly close, Elizabeth Holmes explained.“I don’t know of any sort of established relationship between the first lady and the queen, nor do I think there necessarily has to be one,” the royal author told CNN. “This, to me, feels very much like the first lady and the queen are going through the motions of what their role requires.”Although meetings and more informal conversations between the Trumps and the royals have taken place, other, more formal events were also scheduled. Just as during the September state visit in the U.K, this time, Donald Trump wanted to give the monarch something extra.At the White House South Lawn on Tuesday, a ceremonial military review took place. It represents the highest honor that the U.S extends to any visiting head of state.However, the sunny weather from Monday had moved on. Instead, it turned rainy, perhaps what someone would call “British weather.”Donald and Charles were seated next to each other, while Camilla and Melania sat together on the other side of the small stage. It was then that Queen Camilla made a very British remark to Melania, which left the first lady stunned.Speaking with the Daily Mail, lip-reading expert Nicola Hickling revealed that when they prepared to sit down, the queen said, “Oh, it’s rather wet.”Melania agreed and responded that it “certainly is,” before the two shared a laugh. Then, Queen Camilla instantly replied, “We shall have soggy bottoms,” referring to the damp chair cushions they were sitting on.The first lady was stunned, not understanding. Seemingly confused, Melania said, “What did I just hear? before asking Camilla, “Soggy bottoms?”The phrase “soggy bottom” originated in the television show The Great British Bake Off, where it’s often used humorously. Queen Camilla is known to be a fan of the show. Who knows, maybe Melania will give the show a go as well?What do you think of Queen Camilla?

NYC's Wettest Summer in 5 Years: Why Experts Are Alarmed

NYC's Wettest Summer in 5 Years: Why Experts Are Alarmed

The soggy Apple.The five boroughs were yet again swimming in floodwaters Thursday evening after being walloped by heavy rain that clinched the city’s wettest summer in five years. Staten Island beared the brunt with wild video showing drivers trapped in their cars when torrential rains — which brought 3.72 inches of precipitation — turned the borough’s streets into rivers.It’s really quite obvious we’re not investing enough to protect the city in the face of this rising threat from extreme weather,” warned City Comptroller Mark Levine. Getty ImagesThe heavy rains were just one of several dozen flood events that soaked the Big Apple this summer, which Comptroller Mark Levine warned will only get worse if the city’s infrastructure isn’t significantly upgraded.“I don’t know how anyone who lives through this summer could still tell themselves we’ve had no change in weather patterns. It’s really quite obvious we’re not investing enough to protect the city in the face of this rising threat from extreme weather,” Levine told The Post.“This is real. And it’s a trend that should worry us all.”Flooding of more than a foot was recorded in New York City nine times this summer, according to the comptroller.Staten Island saw 3.72 inches of rain in some neighborhoods Thursday. @g.o.rgi via StoryfulNeighborhoods were drenched with at least four inches of rain as many as 36 times — and residents have been inundated with what feels like constant flash flood alerts on their phones.More than 16.7 inches has fallen in Central Park since June 1, according to AccuWeather.That’s easily bests the average of 13.7 inches — and marks the wettest summer on record since 2021 when Tropical Storm Henri brought an incredible 24 inches.There’s been a considerable increase this summer in the atmosphere’s moisture being blown in from the Gulf of the Caribbean, explained senior meterologist Matt Benz.While the extra downpours were beneficial in offsetting drought conditions experienced at the beginning of the summer, Benz said the “unusual” amount of rain resulted in unwanted flooding. The Big Apple’s 100-year-old infrastructure is simply not equipped to deal with the “new era of extreme weather,” Levine warned.“Heavy rain events that might’ve been considered once every five years are now happening multiple times in one summer.”Heavy rain overhwhelms the subway pumping systems, according to Levine. Michael NagleThe city needs to invest billions, Levine said, across numerous agencies to mitigate flooding — otherwise low-lying neighborhoods could soon become inhabitable.“Most people feel this in the subways, a system that even on a dry day has to pump out a significant amount of water, but in a heavy rainstorm just gets totally overwhelmed,” Levine explained.Expanding the capacity of pumping stations and hardening subway entrances to mitigate runoff is necessary, as well as greatly diverting water from the city’s century-old sewage overflow system — which can only handle up to 1.75 inches of rain per hour.Levine has also been pushing for expanding the number of trees, bio-swales and rooftop vegetation across the five boroughs to absorb the water before it even seeps into the industrial systems.“We need them now because the rain is here and it’s coming more intensely,” said Levine. “We’ve got to up our game.”

Dolly Parton's Final Farewell: Loved Ones Gather at Nashville Cemetery

Dolly Parton's Final Farewell: Loved Ones Gather at Nashville Cemetery

Dolly Parton’s loved ones gathered at her burial site in Nashville three days after the singer’s death. Parton’s closest relatives, including her nephew and head of security, Bryan Seaver, were spotted arriving at Woodlawn Memorial Park and Mausoleum in Nashville on Friday, August 28, as seen in photos obtained by Page Six. Seaver reportedly coordinated with police and security personnel and greeted people when they arrived at the cemetery. It’s unclear whether the funeral took place. The culture-defining musician died on August 25 following a brief and quiet battle with an undisclosed type of cancer. “Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee,” read a statement shared via Parton’s spokesperson. “A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth and kindness that made us all feel like family.” The statement continued, “Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.” Parton’s spokesperson also shared that a “small, private service will be held for immediate family while “fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly” on social media and her website, per the musician’s request. In lieu of flowers, the family asked for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. The nonprofit mails free, high-quality books to children from birth to age 5, no matter their family’s income. After news of Parton’s death made headlines, a slew of tributes from fans, colleagues, friends and more flooded the internet. Miley Cyrus, Parton’s goddaughter, posted an emotional tribute to her beloved Aunt Dolly. “The feeling of losing my Aunt Dolly is beyond what feels right to share. Our most sacred moments were private and they’ll stay there behind the stage, beneath the glamour & between our hearts,” Cyrus, 33, wrote via Instagram on August 25, alongside a black-and-white throwback photo of Parton. “What I KNOW is Dolly would want me to feel it, write a song about it, and then continue on and be strong. I have an angel by my side. I always have. One of our last conversations was about music and metamorphosis. ��.” Parton’s longtime friend Reba McEntire also shared a thoughtful message in the wake of the country music legend’s death. “Well, I just got the news that my buddy Dolly passed onto the higher and greater side. Dolly, thank you for all the wonderful things you did for us here on earth. Your love, your music and you gave so much with your huge huge heart. There will never ever be another you,” McEntire, 71, wrote via Instagram at the time. “We will remember and cherish every memory and every note you ever played and sang. Thank you, Lord, for Dolly. She’s gonna have a blast in heaven singing all her favorite songs with all her family and friends who have gone on before her. I’ll never forget the first time I met you and I’ll never forget our last conversation. I hold it with love in my heart. I will always love you, Reba.”

Netflix Surprises Fans with 'Manifest' Spinoff 'Arrivals' After Shocking Cancellation

Netflix Surprises Fans with 'Manifest' Spinoff 'Arrivals' After Shocking Cancellation

The world of Manifest is expanding nearly four years after the series’ shocking cancellation. Netflix announced on Friday, August 28 — a.k.a. 8/28 day — that the streamer is currently developing Arrivals: A New Manifest Mystery with a new cast of characters and story lines. “When the idea for Manifest first crash-landed in my head, I never imagined where it would lead,” showrunner Jeff Rake said in a statement. “What started as a wild concept became something much bigger, a story that connected with millions of people around the globe. And thanks to Netflix, we were able to finish the journey and give those fans the ending they deserved.” He continued, “But, the world of Manifest has more stories to tell. To now bring fans a brand-new mystery from that world is quite simply beyond my wildest dreams.” Rake, 60, created Manifest, which ran for four seasons from 2018 to 2023 and starred Josh Dallas and Melissa Roxburgh. On the show, Dallas, 47, and Roxburgh, 33, played siblings who were aboard a commercial flight, No. 828, home to New York City that mystically didn’t land for five years. Upon their return, the passengers discovered they had interconnected spiritual “callings.” Manifest aired its first three seasons on NBC, which ultimately canceled the program amid a major plot cliffhanger. Netflix subsequently swooped in, renewing the drama for a fourth and final season. While all of the Manifest story arcs wrapped up by the finale, Arrivals will feature a new crop of passengers. “When a mysterious plane crash-lands in Denver, the passengers emerge with no memory of who they are, where they came from or why they’re here,” a logline reads. “A young social worker and a novice Homeland Security agent team up with the new arrivals in an attempt to stop a humanity-ending catastrophe, discovering along the way that they are all part of the very puzzle they’re trying to solve.” Rake cocreated Arrivals with Manifest producer Margaret Easley and Laura Putney. “Laura Putney and Margaret Easley have been my trusted colleagues for over a decade. Their contribution to the Manifest mothership cannot be overstated,” Rake continued in his statement. “It was a no-brainer to make them my partners on this spinoff. Together, we’ve set out to create something bold, surprising, deeply human and full of the kind of big ideas that spark conversations long after the credits roll. We can’t wait for a whole new audience — and longtime Manifest fans — to discover Arrivals.” Further details about Arrivals, including the cast and premiere date, have yet to be announced.

Dolly Parton's Passing Highlights Subtle Cancer Signs We Often Miss

Dolly Parton's Passing Highlights Subtle Cancer Signs We Often Miss

Persistent exhaustion. A cough that refuses to go away. Weight loss with no obvious explanation.Serious illness does not always begin with a dramatic warning.Sometimes, the earliest changes are easy to dismiss as stress, getting older, a busy schedule, or simply “nothing serious.” But when something feels different—and stays different—it may be worth paying attention.Cancer and other serious conditions can sometimes develop with subtle symptoms. Persistent fatigue, unexplained weight changes, ongoing pain, or a cough that does not improve can have many possible causes, and most do not automatically mean cancer. Still, doctors often encourage people to pay attention to changes that persist, worsen, or simply do not feel normal for them.The key is not panic. It is awareness.You do not need to assume the worst every time you feel tired or develop a cough. But if a symptom continues for weeks, keeps returning, or begins interfering with daily life, speaking with a qualified healthcare professional can be an important step.That simple act—listening to your body and asking questions—can make a difference.Stories involving beloved public figures often remind us how quickly conversations can turn toward health, mortality, and the importance of early action. But the broader lesson applies to everyone: your body can change quietly, and persistent symptoms deserve attention rather than automatic dismissal.So if something has been bothering you for longer than expected, don’t ignore it simply because the symptoms seem small.Notice the changes. Ask questions. Seek appropriate medical advice.Because looking after your health is not overreacting.It is an act of self-care—and sometimes, the most important warning signs are the ones that arrive quietly.

Why 'Breakbone Fever' is Suddenly Spreading in Florida

Why 'Breakbone Fever' is Suddenly Spreading in Florida

Dozens of people in Florida have been diagnosed with a mosquito-borne illness more commonly found in tropical countries.The frightening thing is: They caught it here.Dengue, nicknamed “breakbone fever” because it causes agonizing pain in the joints and bones — making it feel like bones are breaking, especially in the legs and back — the virus has become more common in the US in recent years. A patient receives medical treatment for dengue in Pakistan. There is no cure for dengue, only management of symptoms like IV fluids for hydration and acetaminophen for fever and pain. BILAWAL ARBAB/EPA-EFE/ShutterstockDengue is a viral infection that’s caused by bites from infected mosquitos. While most people who are infected never experience any symptoms, some get fevers, headaches, nausea, rashes, and of course, the excruciating body aches that gave the virus its horrifying nickname.The majority of cases in the US come from recent travel to at-risk regions around the world, including the Caribbean, Central America, South America, Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. But the number of those infected while on US soil is growing.Across the 50 states, 893 dengue cases have been reported this year. Of those 893, 40 cases were acquired here in the US — with 39 in Florida. One case was locally acquired in Virginia.The locally acquired cases were on Florida’s west coast in Citrus County, Pinellas County (home to St. Petersburg) and Hillsborough County (home to Tampa).Why is dengue spreading in the US?The disease is spread by Aedes mosquitos, which also spread diseases like Zika and yellow fever.These mosquitos are found in much of the southeastern and southwestern US — and are spreading due to rising temperatures. Researchers say that 75% of the country is suitable for these particular bloodsuckers.That’s in part why there was a huge spike in dengue in 2024, when US cases jumped 359% from the annual average over two decades.In Florida, California and Texas, infections were documented in several counties, suggesting the virus was introduced multiple times rather than as part of a single outbreak. There was also a 2024 outbreak in New Jersey, sickening dozens of people.“Although these introductions did not lead to larger outbreaks in the continental United States, they indicate an increasing risk for locally acquired cases, underscoring the need for enhanced surveillance, vector control, and public health preparedness and response efforts in areas with competent mosquito vectors,” the CDC said. The Aedes mosquitos are responsible for spreading dengue and other diseases, including Zika and yellow fever. witsawat – stock.adobe.comWhat to know about dengueOne out of every 20 people with dengue develops life-threatening symptoms. It can become serious in a matter of hours and include bleeding, a sudden drop in blood pressure and organ failure.Without medical treatment, severe dengue can be fatal in up to 50% of cases.There is no treatment for the fever. Rest, drinking fluids to stay hydrated and acetaminophen can help with muscle pain and fever. If it gets serious enough for hospitalization, medical professionals will administer IV fluids to avoid dehydration.The best way to protect yourself from dengue is to avoid getting bitten entirely — use insect repellent, wear loose-fitting long sleeves and get rid of mosquitos around your home. That means managing standing water and holes that water can fill.If you’re traveling, avoid mosquitos the same way and sleep under nets. Pack acetaminophen to manage fever and body pain in case you catch it. Even when you return, avoid getting bitten — a mosquito that bites you while infected can spread dengue to others.There is a dengue vaccine, but is only suitable for people who have had it before and are living in an area where dengue is common — not for travelers. That’s because the shot can make the disease worse if you catch it for the first time after being vaccinated.

Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster: Are Wedding Bells in Their Future?

Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster: Are Wedding Bells in Their Future?

Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster are going strong and thinking seriously about their future after a relaxing summer in North Carolina. “They have talked about getting engaged in the future,” a source exclusively tells Us, adding that Jackman, 57, has “told his friends he thinks she is The One. They are that close.” The pair, who went public with their romance in early 2025, traded their usual New York City hustle and bustle for a quieter lifestyle in the Tar Heel State over the past few months, which the insider says helped them enjoy more “normal” surroundings. “It was a year so packed with films and events and they were exhausted and wanted to have weeks not scheduled around work, so they decided to get away,” the source shares. “They wanted to get back to some normalcy in their lives. And that is the most normal place they could go.” The Bunheads alum has a “circle of friends” in North Carolina, per the insider, who notes that Foster, 51, and Jackman’s summer has been “really low-key.” The couple — who grew close after being cast in 2022’s Broadway revival of The Music Man — have been “writing and reading scripts, spending time outdoors and dinners with friends. And doing things that are not stressful,” the source adds. While Jackman and Foster did get away from the spotlight the past few months, the insider tells Us that “publicly they are so much more comfortable being seen together.” When it comes to how the pair function in the Big Apple — where they both call home — the source says it’s just as seamless. “They function as if they’re living together in New York even though they still have separate places,” the insider continues. “They are basically living together.” The Wolverine star might not officially share the same address as Foster, but they have taken the next steps when it comes to familial relationships. “They have already blended their lives,” the source tells Us of the couple. “His children have met her daughter.” Jackman shares adult children Oscar, 26, and Ava, 21, with ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness, whom he split from in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage. One year after calling it quits, multiple sources told Us that Jackman began dating Foster while still married to Furness, 70. Furness addressed the rumored relationship overlap in May 2025 when she filed for divorce, saying she was navigating the “traumatic journey of betrayal.” Jackman and Furness are on much better terms now after finalizing their divorce in June 2025. “It’s civil behind the scenes and everyone is finally more accepting of where things are at,” the insider says of The Greatest Showman actor and his ex-wife. “It was a process.” The insider notes that Jackman and Furness “spent so much time together and were so much a part of each other's lives that initially there were bound to be strong, heavy emotions.” Despite how it ended, the source says, “At the end of the day he will always love Deborra.” Foster, for her part, filed for divorce from screenwriter Ted Griffin in November 2024 after nearly 10 years of marriage. The pair share 9-year-old daughter Emily. Foster and Jackman confirmed their romantic relationship in January 2025 while stepping out in Los Angeles for a date night. It wasn’t until that October that the pair made their red carpet debut in support of Song Sung Blue’s world premiere. One month later, Jackman went Instagram official with Foster, posting photos of her performing at Café Carlyle in New York. Us has reached out to Foster and Jackman’s reps for comment.
