An Israeli woman was able to stave off her murder at the hands of Hamas terrorists by killing them with kindness ... quite literally.

Rachel Edri is being hailed as a hero across Israel right now because of this harrowing story she recently recounted about being taken hostage by 5 Hamas members on Saturday morning ... when the surprise attack against her country was carried out.

She and her husband, who live in Ofakim, were held at gunpoint after the Hamas members stormed their home -- but she was able to keep them at bay for about 15 hours due to her incredible hospitality ... something she dished out as a way to distract the intruders.

You see ... one of Rachel's kids was a cop, and once he caught wind of his parents' situation -- he rounded up other officers and, while negotiating with the terrorists, scoped out the place to find a way to rescue his family. In the meantime, Mama Bear was playing a good host ... feeding the Hamas guys while also trying to chat them up with banter and conversation, all in an effort to stall.

Rachel, who's a grandmother, says she served coffee and cookies during the standoff, and apparently, it worked -- because when her son and the other officers eventually stormed the place, the terrorists were all stuffing their faces and weren't able to fire back. They were all killed on sight.

Una salvaje escena ocurrió en el famoso muelle de Santa Mónica, un hombre que dice estar armado con una bomba se subió a la icónica rueda antes de ser finalmente detenido.

La loca escena tuvo lugar el lunes por la tarde, cuando un hombre le dijo a la gente que tenía una bomba y comenzó a subir por la rueda de la fortuna.

El Departamento de Policía de Santa Mónica dice que el hombre escaló la atracción turística y le gritó a los oficiales del muelle, aunque estos no pudieron distinguir lo que estaba diciendo, ya que estaba en medio del lugar.

Los espectadores vieron con horror cómo se produjo el enfrentamiento y no pasó mucho tiempo hasta que los helicópteros comenzaron a dar vueltas alrededor del lugar.

La rueda se paró y la gente se quedó atascada por unos minutos. Luego tuvieron que ser rescatados por un camión del Departamento de Bomberos de Santa Mónica.

Alrededor de una hora después del incidente, el hombre empezó a bajar de su percha en la rueda de 85 pies de altura, mientras aparentaba comunicarse con las fuerzas del orden.

Wild scene at the famous Santa Monica Pier ... a man claiming to be armed with a bomb climbed the iconic Ferris wheel before ultimately being taken into custody.

The crazy scene played out Monday afternoon at the tourist attraction ... with cops saying it all started when the guy told folks he had a bomb on him, and then started climbing the carnival ride.

The Santa Monica Police Department says as the man scaled the Ferris wheel, he was shouting at officers down on the pier ... but they couldn't make out what he was saying as he hung out in the middle of the spoke.

Shocked onlookers watched in horror as a standoff ensued, and it didn't take long for helicopters to start swirling overhead.

The Ferris wheel stopped and folks who were on the ride became stuck ... and they had to be rescued by a Santa Monica Fire Department cherry picker truck.

About an hour into the affair, the guy started climbing down from his perch on the 85-foot tall ride ... appearing to communicate with law enforcement.

Teresa Giudice seemed to have tried the old "Don't you know who I am?" trick during a traffic stop ... and while it's unclear if it worked, she lucked out with a friendly cop.

The 'RHONJ' star got pulled over back in April out in Riverdale, NJ ... this after a police officer apparently saw her swerving in and out of lanes during a night drive. The body cam footage -- which seems to have just been released -- shows his interaction with her.

Check it out ... the cop asks for Teresa's driver's license, and she forks it over -- but also tries sneaking some extra identifying information in the form of "family business cards."

The officer laughs it off, saying those won't be necessary ... and then heads back to his car to dive into her background. He's perusing her record for a bit, and then eventually heads back to talk to Teresa -- at which point he lets her off the hook with a simple warning.

Teresa sounds grateful ... telling the officer that she tends to drive a little crooked, and she even makes a random mention of her father dying. The whole chat is super chummy.

Again, we're not sure if the cop here realized who he was dealing with -- a celeb, especially around those parts in NJ -- but in any case ... he cut TG a break. She should count herself lucky ... especially since she famously ran into serious legal trouble once upon a time.

Teresa's attorney, James Leonard, tells TMZ ... "There is no family business card. That is ridiculous. No such card exists or has ever existed. She was referring to a New Jersey State PBA card that was given to her by an acquaintance who is a law enforcement officer and issued her the card."

La exesposa de Kevin McGrath, el pasajero del crucero Carnival que desapareció misteriosamente durante un viaje a las Bahamas, no cree que esté muerto. De hecho, nos dijo que su familia solo quiere que vuelva a casa sano y salvo.

Addison Thomas le dijo a TMZ que en el fondo siente que Kevin aún está vivo y en algún lugar, a pesar de que su paradero sigue siendo desconocido un mes después de que se cayera de la nave y desapareciera del mapa.

Aun así, Addison cree que todavía es difícil despertar cada mañana y no sabe dónde está Kevin, ya que no es propio de él que abandone a su familia y a sus hijos, nos dijo.

Addison dice que mantuvo una buena relación con Kevin después de su separación. Él siempre llamaba para saber sobre sus hijos, algo que se perdió desde su desaparición.

TMZ dio la noticia, Kevin estaba en libertad condicional cuando desapareció el fin de semana del Día del Trabajo. Estaba a bordo de un crucero que iba de Miami a las Bahamas, pero desapareció sin dejar rastro y provocando una búsqueda de la Guardia Costera que finalmente fue cancelada.

Kevin estaba en problemas legales después de ser declarado culpable de agresión con agravantes en Tennessee en 2022. Addison dijo que amenazó con matarla a ella y a sus hijos una noche, y terminó siendo condenado a 6 años de libertad condicional supervisada.

A pesar de ese incidente, Addison defiende a su ex, diciendo que no es un mal tipo y que además es un veterano que luchó por su país y ama a su familia.

Bill Maher did not hold back Friday night, calling comedian Hasan Minhaj a shady liar.

The 'Real Time' host ended his show worrying that the concept of truth has become relative, and Exhibit A is Donald Trump, making wild claims and then simply declaring them to be true.

He then broadens out and says both sides -- the left and right -- are guilty as charged. As Maher puts it, the right pushes conspiracy theories and the left embraces "emotional truth."

BM then takes aim at Minhaj, and there's more beef here than in any happy meal.  Minhaj accused Maher of saying Muslims should be rounded up and incarcerated -- something Bill has never said.

Maher then references a New Yorker story, which calls Minhaj out for making up stories for his act. Specifically, Minhaj says he asked a girl to the prom and at the last minute her parents said she couldn't go because he was a person of color. False, says the New Yorker.

And then there's the story of the FBI hunting Minhaj down and throwing him against a car because they thought he was a terrorist. Again, false, says the mag.

Minhaj told the New Yorker, emotional truth is first -- factual truth is secondary. Not so, says Maher ... not at all.

The ex-wife of Kevin McGrath, the missing Carnival cruise passenger who mysteriously vanished during a Bahamas trip, doesn't think he's dead ... telling us his family just wants to see him come home safe.

Addison Thomas tells TMZ ... deep down she feels Kevin is still alive somewhere, even though his whereabouts remain unknown a month after he fell off the ship and the map.

Even so, Addison says it's still difficult waking up every morning wondering where Kevin is ... telling us it's not like him to abandon his family or his children.

Addison says she maintained a good relationship with Kevin after their split, telling us he would always call to check on their kids ... something they've been missing since his disappearance.

TMZ broke the story ... Kevin was on probation when he vanished over Labor Day weekend, disappearing from a cruise from Miami to the Bahamas without a trace and sparking a Coast Guard search that was ultimately called off.

Kevin was in legal trouble after pleading guilty to aggravated assault in Tennessee in September 2022 -- Kevin threatened her and their kids one night -- and he ended up getting sentenced to 6 years of supervised probation.

Despite that incident, Addison defends her ex, saying he's not a bad guy ... he's a veteran who fought for his country and loves his family.

The alleged abductor of 9-year-old Charlotte Sena held her for ransom to get his hands on a portion of a multimillion dollar settlement, according to a new report.

Craig Ross was aware Sena's late grandfather, Patrick, was awarded $2.2 million after he was severely injured in a sledding accident and sued the town of Greenfield, New York, in 1998, the Daily Mail reported. Patrick passed away in 2015, but his sizable payout lives on in his family and was common knowledge among locals like Ross.

Ross allegedly kidnapped Sena and demanded the $50,000 ransom in a note he left at her parent's house because he was "struggling financially," his ex-girlfriend, Amanda Preece, told The Mail.

Preece said the ransom money would have set up Ross for up to five years. She also called Ross a "mooch" because he never wanted to work for money and lived off his mother and girlfriends.

Preece went on to say she believes Ross is "evil" and had been stalking Charlotte and planning her kidnapping for a while.

Last Saturday, Ross allegedly snatched Sena as she rode her bike in Moreau Lake State Park, while the girl was on vacation with her parents in upstate New York.

Police say Ross drove to Sena's home and stuffed the ransom note into her mailbox as investigators were staking out the location.

7:36 AM PT -- Anthony Chickillo's girlfriend, Tatu Baby, tells TMZ Sports ... the former NFL player was going through a medical episode due to bipolar disorder caused by a concussion that he suffered during his playing days.

"It was just a medical situation," Tatu Baby says.

Tatu Baby added that Chickillo is currently hospitalized and getting the medication he needs in order to get better.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Anthony Chickillo was tased by cops at a hospital this week ... after police say he had a breakdown inside of a doctor's office.

According to the Hialeah Police Department, Chickillo was at the Hialeah Hospital in Hialeah, Fla. on Thursday morning ... when witnesses say he suddenly snapped and began "trashing" an office, breaking things and throwing chairs.

Cops say the former football player then allegedly "tried to attack everybody" -- before he got into a wrestling match with his dad.

Bystanders called 911 -- and when officers arrived on scene, we're told they deployed a taser in order to subdue him.

In video obtained by TMZ Sports, you can see 30-year-old Chickillo was barefoot and shirtless as cops finally got him in handcuffs and took him away from the area.

The HPD tells us, though, Chickillo was not arrested ... and instead was placed on a 72-hour psychiatric hold.

We're told he will not be arrested once he's released either because nobody at the doctor's office wanted to press charges.

Chickillo is not a stranger to run-ins with the law. In 2019, he was arrested for allegedly roughing up his girlfriend. The charges were ultimately dropped, however, after prosecutors said she refused to testify against him.

Un conductor de Minneapolis realmente se sorprendió cuando fue detenido por una policía, a quien reconoció como una modelo de OnlyFans con la que había estado teniendo sexo en línea. Ahora la policía de Minneapolis está investigando a fondo la situación para asegurarse de que no haya ninguna violación de conducta.

¿Cuáles son las probabilidades de eso? La oficial detuvo a un chico la semana pasada, quien le dijo a FOX9 que después de unos 10 minutos comenzó a parecerle conocida y se dio cuenta de que había estado siguiendo su cuenta de OnlyFans durante unos meses.

Según el chico: "Hay que ir a la sección VIP para ver sus videos, de ella y su marido, supongo que él es su marido, con quien graba videos sexuales".

La agente, que no ha sido identificada, gestiona una página en OnlyFans que ofrece videos y fotos y que describe como "porno amateur" en solitario. Se describe a sí misma como una mujer de 35 años, de espíritu libre y una "creadora demasiado optimista de contenido sexy para complacer a los demás".

La pregunta que ahora se hace el jefe de policía de Minneapolis es si la oficial está haciendo algo malo, ya que al parecer ha recibido elogios por su trabajo policial y está haciendo esto como un trabajo secundario.

La política del Departamento prohíbe a los agentes que estén fuera de servicio realizar cualquier trabajo que "no sea compatible con la labor policial", lo que incluye trabajar en "cualquier establecimiento que ofrezca entretenimiento para adultos en forma de exhibiciones de desnudos, semidesnudos o topless".

Obviamente, ella no está trabajando en un negocio, sino que más bien está operando uno propio desde su casa, pero los mandos policiales podrían verlo de otra manera.

A Minneapolis driver got a serious eyeful of the cop who pulled him over -- he recognized her as an OnlyFans model who he's seen having sex online, and now Minneapolis PD is probing ... for any conduct violations.

What are the odds??? The female officer pulled over a guy last week, and he told FOX9 in Minneapolis that after about 10 minutes the cop started to look familiar ... and he realized he's been following her OnlyFans account for a few months.

As he put it, "You got to go to the VIP and you get to see the videos of her and her, I guess husband, I guess that’s who it is, they do full sex videos."

The officer, who hasn't been named, operates an OnlyFans page that offers videos and photos she describes as "solo play" and "amateur porn." She describes herself as 35, free-spirited and an "overly optimistic creator of sexy content to please others."

The question Minneapolis PD's police chief now has to address is ... what, if anything, is wrong with the cop -- who's reportedly received commendations for her police work -- doing this as a side job.

The Dept. policy forbids off-duty officers from any work that's "not compatible with police work" ... which includes working at "any establishment that provides adult entertainment in the form of nude, semi-nude or topless exhibitions."

Obviously, she's not working at a business, but rather operating one from her home -- but the police brass might see it differently.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann continue to live under the same roof -- which is starting to sound like hell on Earth -- especially given Kim's latest claim and call to 911.

Zolciak called cops in Georgia last Thursday around 11 PM to report Kroy had taken her 2 cellphones. In the 911 call, obtained by TMZ, Kim says she's on the home phone because Kroy's been holding her cells hostage for the last several hours.

You can't hear Kroy at all in the background, but Kim states she doesn't feel safe and needs to leave the home. She says Kroy locked himself in the master bedroom.

Per usual, the couple's 4 kids, who have continued to seemingly suffer through Kim and Kroy's back and forth, are home at the time of the incident -- but Kim says they're all asleep.

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, officers came to the home and sorted things out ... eventually getting Kim's phones back. The former "RHOA" star agreed to sleep in a separate bedroom with the door locked in order to keep the peace.

Cops have frequented the estranged couple's home as of late ... we were first to publish body cam footage of an incident from back in August when Kim claimed Kroy locked her out of their bedroom with her belongings inside.

Kim Zolciak y Kroy Biermann siguen viviendo bajo el mismo techo, lo que se está convirtiendo en un infierno, especialmente luego del último llamado de Kim al 911.

Zolciak llamó a la policía de Georgia el pasado jueves alrededor de las 11 PM para informar que Kroy había tomado sus dos teléfonos celulares. En la llamada obtenida por TMZ, Kim dice que está llamando desde el teléfono de su casa porque Kroy había tomado sus celulares "como rehenes" en las últimas horas.

En la llamada no se oye a Kroy en absoluto, pero Kim reitera que no se siente segura y que necesita salir de la casa. Dice que Kroy se encerró en el dormitorio principal.

Como de costumbre, los 4 hijos de la pareja, que han sufrido las idas y venidas de Kim y Kroy a lo largo del tiempo, estaban en casa en el momento del incidente, pero ella dice que todos estaban dormidos en ese momento.

De acuerdo con el informe policial obtenido por TMZ, los oficiales llegaron a la casa y arreglaron las cosas. Finalmente, lograron pasarle los celulares a Kim y la ex estrella de "Real Housewives Of Atlanta" accedió a dormir en un dormitorio separado con la puerta cerrada para mantener la paz.

Los policías han frecuentado la casa de la pareja, quienes están distanciados desde hace algún tiempo. Fuimos los primeros en publicar imágenes de un incidente el pasado agosto, cuando Kim afirmó que Kroy la echó de su dormitorio con sus pertenencias en el interior.

El marido de Jenelle Evans —David Eason— dice que la relación que tiene con el hijo de Jenelle —Jace— es algo que nadie más entiende, y comparte fotos juntos luego de supuestamente lastimarlo.

David subió fotos el miércoles de él pasando el rato con Jace (de 14 años), dando paseos en moto, jugando al baloncesto, saliendo de pesca y jugando al billar.

Agregó el siguiente mensaje en las fotos: "¡Nadie entiende nuestra relación y eso está bien porque no lo necesitan!".

TMZ publicó la historia, David y Jenelle están actualmente bajo investigación por negligencia infantil después de que Jace fue reportado como desaparecido la semana pasada. Lo encontraron poco después, pero ya había desaparecido otras dos veces antes de eso.

Jenelle lo atribuyó a Jace ser un adolescente rebelde, pero fuentes directas nos informan que están siendo investigados porque Jace supuestamente le dijo a la policía que David lo agredió.

Nos dijeron que Jace fue encontrado con marcas visibles en el cuello y el brazo. El presunto ataque se cree que han sido capturados en una cámara de seguridad. El material está ahora en posesión de la policía.

Jenelle Evans' husband, David Eason, says the relationship he has with Jenelle's son, Jace, is something no one gets ... sharing photos of the 2 of them together after allegedly abusing him.

David uploaded snaps Wednesday of him hanging out with 14-year-old Jace -- doing things together like fixing up dirt bikes, playing basketball, catching fish, and shooting pool.

He captioned the photos, "Nobody understands our relationship and that's fine because they don't need to!"

TMZ broke the story, David and Jenelle are currently under investigation for child neglect after Jace was reported missing last week -- he was found soon after, but he had already gone missing 2 other times before that.

Jenelle chalked it up to Jace being a rebellious teen, but sources with direct knowledge told us they're being investigated because Jace allegedly told cops David assaulted him.

We were told Jace was found with visible marks on his neck and arm, and the alleged assault is believed to have been captured on a Ring camera -- the footage is now in the possession of police and CPS.

BTW, David also talked about the abuse allegations, saying, "Police reports have been falsified and the truth is already apparent to everyone involved."

Por si no había quedado claro, aquí hay más pruebas de que Kim Zolciak y Kroy Biermann se odian. Al parecer Kroy la dejó fuera de su dormitorio y ella llamó a la policía.

Hemos obtenido las imágenes de la cámara y la llamada al 911 de un incidente a finales de agosto, en el que Kim afirmó que era incapaz de entrar a su dormitorio para recuperar sus pertenencias personales y su medicación.

La respuesta de la policía muestra lo desagradables que son las cosas entre Kim y Kroy. Él se niega a mostrar su cara y habla con los oficiales a través de una puerta cerrada.

A lo largo de la visita de la policía, Kim golpea a Kroy, diciéndole a los oficiales que Kroy no tiene trabajo y que ella es la razón por la que todavía tienen la casa. En la llamada al 911 declaró que Kroy la había amenazado y que se había puesto agresivo antes.

Hay que darle crédito a los oficiales por manejar de buena manera una situación tan infantil, trabajando para mantener a Kim y Kroy en calma para evitar que las cosas empeoren.

Finalmente, los agentes convencen a Kroy de que les entregue el edredón de Kim, el cargador del teléfono, los medicamentos y (según ella)- una crema de belleza de 1000 dólares.
