Undercover Sting Foils Assassination Plot Targeting Palestinian Activist in New York Area

U.S. law enforcement disrupted a weeks-long plot to assassinate New York–based Palestinian American activist Nerdeen Kiswani after an undercover operation led by the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force and NYPD. A 26-year-old suspect, Alexander Heifler, was arrested in Hoboken on firearms charges after an undercover officer on a group video call observed him seeking help with molotov cocktails and assembling eight of them; the officer was at Heifler’s residence when the weapons were prepared. Kiswani said agents told her the attack was imminent. The case highlights ongoing security concerns around activists in a charged political climate.

"7 Years Without a Traffic Death: How a New Jersey City's Street Parking Limits Made a Difference"

Hoboken, New Jersey, has successfully eliminated traffic deaths for seven years by implementing Vision Zero guidelines, including the removal of parking spaces near intersections to improve visibility. While the plan has faced criticism from some business owners, the city's approach also includes lower speed limits, staggered traffic lights, and infrastructure changes such as widening curbs and shortening crosswalks. Other major U.S. cities have integrated aspects of the program into their safety plans, and states like California have enacted laws prohibiting parking near intersections to enhance pedestrian safety.
