☆ Opinion: Taking a trip to the firing range was something I’d never do before October 7

I put my clear plastic goggles back on and reenter the smoky range to learn how to shoot a gun. That’s how I found myself at Gun for Hire, a gun range and club in New Jersey, to learn how to shoot. (“I want you to get the feel for both guns,” Kedem said.) Kedem had told me I’d get used to the noise, and I did. If I came to the range a few more times, I know I could get the hang of shooting — and even excel at it.

☆ When Israel needs to fight Hamas in its tunnels, it turns to an elite band of commandos called the Yahalom unit
  + stars: | 2023-11-06 | by ( Jake Epstein | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Clearing out the Hamas tunnels is one assignment for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) amid its ongoing ground invasion of Gaza, now a little more than a week old. To effectively carry out this task, the military has a elite band of commandos who are trained for underground warfare and other subterranean operations known as the Yahalom unit. The unit was created in 1995 and doubled in size after the 2014 Gaza War — known in Israel as Operation Protective Edge — to deal with the growing threat posed by Hamas' tunnels. On Friday, for example, the IDF said Yahalom soldiers working in tandem with other units destroyed Hamas tunnels during "special operations" inside the strip. "Hamas views warfare underground just as it would aboveground, utilizing defense, offense, and retreat," he remarked.

☆ I owned a home for 7 years, but now I rent — and I prefer it
  + stars: | 2023-09-10 | by ( Jennifer Streaks | Senior Personal Finance Reporter | Read More | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
I sold my home in 2018 and started renting and was surprised by how much I liked it. But for me, after owning a home for seven years and being a very engaged homeowner, I prefer to rent for right now. I learned that I prefer to rent — and not only that, but renting right now is beneficial for me. When I owned my home, I was constantly a homeowner, meaning that there were always projects, renovations or issues that came up. As soon as I sold my home and moved into a luxury apartment building, the money in my savings account increased.

☆ Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg's cage fight vow is the latest example of how martial arts are taking hold of Silicon Valley tech bros

Tech executives including Mark Zuckerberg and PayPal's Dan Schulman have taken up martial arts. Zuckerberg is now sizing up Elon Musk as his latest opponent, as the pair agreed to go head-to-head in a cagefight. Danny Zelig trains PayPal CEO Dan Schulman in Krav Maga, which was developed by the Israeli army. Zelig said that in sparring sessions, Schulman would often wait to for him to strike, which let Zelig dictate the fight. She added that the training helped her to focus on the present and develop distance from her work in her "own version of mindfulness."
