That's Nina Marcus-Cohen, October 29, 1935 to September 9, 2024, author unknown. And this next one is Urban S Hirsch III, author unknown. Urban S Hirsch III, businessman, motorcycle enthusiast, art collector, and one of the most generous and caring human beings to ever live, died on August 29 in his home. Urban was born on July 30, 1941 in Los Angeles. He was the eldest of Urban S Hirsch Jr. and Dickie Ney-Wheels' three children. Urban grew up in Los Angeles, where he attended El Rodeo, John Thomas Dye, Beverly Hills High School and University High School. And in 1960, Urban moved to Chicago, where he began to work at Bowers Printing, Inc. Company. In 1968, he returned to Los Angeles to help open Bowers' new West Coast operations. Urban rose to the ranks of Bowers to become Vice President. In 1985, he left Bowers to start Ink Systems, Inc., a service-oriented, in-plan and custom ink manufacturing company. In 1997, Urban was elected President of the National Association of Printing Ink Manufacturers, and in 2009, he was recognized by NAPIM with its highest honor, the Alt Award. On December 15, 1963, Urban married Judy Levy in Chicago. After returning to live in Los Angeles, Urban and Judy had two sons, Paul and Carl. Urban and Judy divorced in 1979, but they remained close the rest of their lives, jointly sharing the joy of their children and grandchildren until Judy's death in March of this year. Urban enjoyed many passions. He loved his home in Benedict Canyon, which remained under constant construction for all 50 years he lived there. He loved collecting pre-1916 motorcycles and old roadsters, being a member of the Hamsters Motorcycle Club and driving out each year to attend the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota.

He is survived by his sons, Paul, Yesenia, Carl, Kim, his partner, Jennifer, Jeffries, his sisters, Rita, David, Wells, and Karen, Steve, Bershad, two nieces, one nephew, four dogs, and four grandchildren he adored. It was Urban S. Hirsch III, author unknown, and both of those were obituaries from the obituary section of the Los Angeles Times Sunday, September 15, 2024 We have one Israel story here this week from the World Section of the Los Angeles Times Monday, September 16, 2024 Israel vows retaliation after a healthy missile strike. Net Yahu warns of a heavy price for the attack, which caused no serious damage by Lora King and Aviv Boulos. Tel Aviv. A missile fired by Yemen's healthy rebels targeted the center of Israel on Sunday, sending off warning signs and sending passengers and staff scurrying for shelters at the country's main international airport. Prime Minister Benjamin Net Yahu vowed to exact a heavy price. The episode less than two months after a drone launched by the group hit Tel Aviv represented a new escalation in Israel's confrontation with the Iranian backed rebels. It also offered a thunderous reminder that Israel is currently engaged in a three front battle with the Palestinian military group Hamas Gaza, with the Lebanon based Hezbollah on its northern border, and with the Houthis who say they are acting in solidarity with the Palestinians. Sunday strike did not cause any serious damage or direct injuries, Israeli officials said, but Trigard pointed questions as to how the projectile was able to travel so far into Israel's airspace. The Israeli military said the missile apparently fragmented in mid-air and that it was examining the Dupree. News videos showed a blaze in a rural field about seven miles from Ben Gurion Airport and loud booms were heard in the vicinity. Minor damage was reported at a train station in the town of Modlin in the country's center. Authorities said normal operations resumed at the airport a short time after the strike, which occurred just after 6:30 a.m. A healthy statement claiming responsibility suggested an increased level of sophistication in the group's arsenal and tactics. And a televised address Sunday morning, the healthy's military spokesman Yahya Sari claimed to have sown fear and panic with the group's use of what he described as a hypersonic ballistic missile. The Israeli military denied it was a hypersonic weapon, saying none of Israel's adversaries possessed such technology. Since the start of the Gaza War, the healthy's have repeatedly fired drones and missiles toward Israel, but nearly all were intercepted over the Red Sea. On July 19, an Iranian-made drone launched by a group hit near the Tel Aviv Sea from killing one man and injuring several others. Israel retaliated then with multiple airstrikes in healthy-controlled territory in Yemen, an impoverished country at the tip of the Arabian Peninsula, where the rebels have been waging war on government forces. Net Yahu indicated that this strike, too, would trigger an Israeli response. The healthy should know by now that we exact a heavy price for any attempt to harm us, he told his cabinet hours after the attack. Anyone who needs a reminder is invited to visit the port of Hudaida, the Yemeni coastal city, a healthy stronghold which was targeted after the July drone strike in Tel Aviv. The attack was praised by Hamas with Abu Obeda, the spokesman for its armed wing, calling it a qualitative shift. But in addition to the Israeli denial that the missile was hypersonic, some experts expressed skepticism as well. Right now, the only side that's talking about hypersonics are the Hafez, said Muhammad Al-Basha, a senior Middle East analyst at Navanti, a risk assessment group. Israeli military said it employed air defenses when the missile was detected but was still assessing the incident. To date, only one other Hafez fired missile has been reported to have penetrated Israeli territory, striking near the Red Sea port of Eilat in March. Since the outbreak of the Gaza War, which began after Hamas-led attackers broke through the seaside enclaves border fence last October 7 and attacked southern Israel, killing about 1200 people and kidnapping some 250 others, the Hafez have also attacked commercial shipping in the Red Sea, depicting the strikes on vessels from a variety of nations as a blockade on Israel because of the Gaza War.
