“Bring Them Home” — it’s a message posted on street posts, on store front windows, on skyscrapers and on city streets all around Tel Aviv, where missiles from Iran struck in June. The city is still rebuilding from the strikes, some of which betrayed businesses and residences, and others which struck so hard the reverberations knocked out skyscraper windows. Israelis, meanwhile, are angry and frustrated that Hamas is still holding hostages from the October 7, 2023, terror attacks. Photo Credit: Cheryl Chumley, August 9, 2025.

GAZA BORDER, Israel -- The border separating Gaza, to the left, with Israel seems quiet on Aug. 12, 2025. But Israeli soldiers maintain a heavy presence, on guard for any sign of another Hamas terror attack. The Israeli people, still reeling from the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack, have yet to completely return to their homes along the border. (Cheryl Chumley/The Washington Times)

Chinese paramilitary soldiers patrol a commercial district known for the sale of animal fur items in Beijing, China Tuesday, Nov. 21, 2006. The European Union proposed a ban Monday on the sale and import of dog and cat fur in all 25 member nations, saying it has been found in some clothing, toys and other items on sale in Europe. Animal rights activists say Chinese cat and dog fur is mainly used for lining gloves, as trim on boots, coats and other clothing or to cover animal figurines. Sometimes, traders say, it is dyed and passed off as other types of more expensive fur. (AP Photo/Elizabeth Dalziel)
