U.S. President Donald Trump:

"Many additional people have been arrested having to do with the disgraceful Vandalism of our beautiful Reflecting Pool. It hasn’t looked or worked like this since 1922, when it was originally built, but even then, it leaked badly, and didn’t work. Ours worked perfectly, including the mirror like finish, perfectly reflecting the two Great Monuments, which it never had before! What these terrible Vandals have done is a true affront to both Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, and should be dealt with accordingly. We met with contractors today, will probably be forced to release and drain much of the water in order to do the necessary repairs, but will have them done as quickly as possible. What they have damaged does not even include the earlier killing of a large amount of grass which was, by far, the least of it. They took some form of knife or blade, and put a 250 foot long gash into the beautiful facade of what took so much work, competence, and money to build and complete. They also poured corrosive and destructive chemicals into the Pool. The Reflecting Pool was never so beautiful as it was just one week ago, even going back to 1922 when it opened. We are very proud of what we have done with this magnificent structure, and we will get it repaired, quickly, to an equal level of Beauty. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP".

Instead of admitting the project was poorly executed, Trump is framing it as vandalism and deploying the National Guard to distract from the contractors who caused the problem.

The Trump regime sent the National Guard to protect the Reflecting Pool. Your tax dollars at work. https://x.com/FreedomNTV/status/2068149481325916468/video/1 - Republicans against Trump

This person was "arrested" for political reasons, which would seem to be a constitutional violation. It may not even make it to court.

Breaking news: U.S. Park Police officers arrested former Olympian David Hearn on a misdemeanor charge of destruction of government property.

Hearn said he touched the Reflecting Pool’s detached liner but “didn’t destroy or break or peel anything.” https://wapo.st/3QBU57J - The Washington Post

IDF Spokesperson:

"Helped transfer more than half a billion shekels to Hamas: The IDF eliminated militants involved in Hamas’ financial transfer network in the Gaza Strip.

During strikes carried out last week (Wednesday) in southern Gaza, the IDF said it killed Hussein Kadra and Mohammed Farra, whom it identified as operatives of Hamas’ military wing and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. According to the IDF, the two were part of a Hamas-run financial network used to transfer funds into the Gaza Strip.

The IDF said Kadra, described as the head of the network, along with Farra and other operatives, acted under the direction of Hamas leadership and helped transfer more than 500 million shekels to Hamas’ military wing, using a network of dozens of couriers and money changers in Turkey and the Gaza Strip.

According to the IDF, these funds enabled Hamas to continue paying salaries to its operatives and to finance attacks against Israeli forces and civilians, including during the recent period, which Israel says violated the ceasefire agreement.

The IDF added that Southern Command forces remain deployed in accordance with the agreement and will continue operating to remove any threat. IDF Spokesperson:
