They were not brought into the club and tried to set him on fire

Tel Aviv police suspect that a number of party goers who were arrested last night (Friday) at the club in Tel Aviv returned to the club this morning and tried to set fire to him with a Molotov cocktail in revenge.

Late in the morning a report was received by police about the Molotov cocktail being thrown at the Helens Keller Club on 113 Hasmonayim Street in Tel Aviv. There were no injuries and no damage to the scene. A preliminary police investigation revealed that a number of young men entering the club were arrested by security guards last night, furious at the decision and decided to take revenge. They returned this morning and threw a Molotov cocktail on the club (which was closed) but did not cause any damage.

Syria: A refinery attacked by drones

The Homs Refinery, the southern district's gas plant and the Al-Ryan gas depot, also located in the Homs district, were attacked Saturday morning by three unmanned aerial vehicles. "The attack was targeted and caused damage to several production units," said Syrian Oil and Natural Resources Minister Ali Ghanem. The Homs Refinery is one of only two in the country. The second is the Banias refinery, which made headlines when Iranian oil from the Adrian Daria tanker arrived. "The three targets were attacked at the same time," Ganem added.

According to reports from the Assad regime's Sana network, the fire resulting from the attack did not lead to any extraordinary damage. "Immediately upon receipt of the reports, the crews jumped on the scene and began to cool the tankers," said Colonel Hussein, a robber from the Homs County Civil Defense Unit. Homs District Governor Talal al-Barazi praised firefighters for the swift takeover. No state has claimed responsibility for the attack, but Damascus's accusing finger was immediately pointed at Washington.

Secretary of State Pompeo: "The Hague Decision Unjustified"

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo addressed the decision by the Criminal Court in The Hague on Saturday to investigate war crimes in Israel. "The prosecutor's statement in the International Court raises questions about her ability to investigate Israel, which is not under its jurisdiction. We strongly oppose the unwarranted and unfair investigation against Israel. The path to sustainable peace goes only through direct negotiation."
