Group of men targets, beats and kidnaps house-hunting couple in a Lamborghini in Connecticut
A couple driving a luxury car while house hunting in a gated community in Connecticut were targeted by a group of men who brutalized them and kidnapped them in a van before they could be rescued.
The couple's ordeal began on Sunday afternoon when the victims, a married couple in their 50s, arrived in their Lamborghini at a posh Danbury home where they were to meet a real estate agent. Their car was deliberately struck from behind by the van. When the couple got out to see what had happened, they were surrounded by three other vehicles.
The suspects – six men in total who live in Florida – then beat her with a baseball bat and pushed her into the van. The suspects bound her hands and feet with duct tape and covered the man's eyes as the van sped away. Other suspects drove off in the Lamborghini.
Israel says it has rescued a hostage from an underground tunnel in the Gaza Strip
Israel said it rescued a hostage from an underground tunnel in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, freeing one of dozens of people abducted during the October 7 Hamas attack that sparked the war in Gaza.
The rescue brought a rare moment of joy to Israelis after 10 months of war, but it was also a painful reminder that dozens of hostages remain in captivity while international mediators try to negotiate a ceasefire that would lead to their release.
