Tel Aviv [Israel], March 7 (ANI/TPS): For the first time since the war in northern Israel began, the IDF allowed civilians to visit the tomb of Rabbi Ashi, part of which lies in Lebanese territory. Early Friday morning, around 800 Orthodox worshippers, including Breslov Hasidim, arrived at the site under military escort.

In recent weeks, hundreds of worshippers attempted to reach the tomb without coordination, leading to clashes with soldiers and police. Some even crossed the border into Lebanon and were detained by the IDF. (ANI/TPS)

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
