The Twelve Tribes of Israel (Hebrew: , romanized:Shivtei Yisrael, lit.'Tribes of Israel') are, according to Judeo-Christian texts, the descendants of the Biblical patriarch Jacob, also known as Israel, through his twelve sons by various women, who collectively form the Israelite nation. Within ancient Judaism, one's tribal affiliation had a great impact on his or her practices and opportunities, as some tribes enjoyed privileges others did not and some tribes received more blessings than others.[citation needed] Some modern scholars dispute whether there ever were (exactly) twelve Israelite tribes, and think that the number 12 more likely signifies a symbolic invented tradition as part of a national founding myth.[1] Jacob, later called Israel, was the second-born son of Isaac and Rebecca, the younger twin brother of Esau, and the grandson of Abraham and Sarah. According to Biblical texts, he was chosen by Yahweh to be the patriarch of the Israelite nation.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) Israels prime minister Sunday directly blamed Iran for a drone attack on an oil tanker off the coast of Oman that killed two people, making a veiled threat to retaliate as Tehran denied being involved in the assault. The comments by Premier Naftali Bennett and Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh come after the strike Thursday night on the oil tanker Mercer Street. The attack marked the first-known fatal attack after years of assaults on commercial shipping in the region linked to tensions with Iran over its tattered nuclear deal.

A prominent, but controversial, Israeli scientist at Harvard University has launched a project that will take a fresh approach to the search for extraterrestrials, hoping to find some signs of their technology or civilizations. Avi Loebs Galileo Project will systematically search for physical artifacts produced by extraterrestrial technological civilizations. Previous programs, such as the SETI Institute, scoured the cosmos in search of electromagnetic signals, not objects.

Ben Wagner, an outfielder on Team Israel's Olympic baseball team, has apologized for any offense caused after he posted a video on his TikTok account of him and his teammates testing out the cardboard beds in the Olympic Village and seeing how many athletes it would take to break them. It turns out, the magic number is nine. The video came off the back of false claims earlier in the Olympic Games that the organizers had put together cardboard beds as a means to prevent any "intimacy among athletes." 1 Related But the truth is, these beds were part of Tokyo 2020's original plan for the Games, with the beds to be recycled after the Olympics
