TL;DR

Reportedly, the Ashura procession in midtown Manhattan this year was the largest ever and is expected to grow annually. The report also notes that a city referred to as 'New Jabalia' — a likely reference to a Gaza-area community — is in its sixth month under a Shiite Muslim mayor, describing the city as 'lost'.

01 · THE DISPATCH

A single source reports that this year's Ashura procession in midtown Manhattan was the largest ever, with the observation that it will grow annually. The same post notes that a city labeled 'New Jabalia' — a transliteration from the Hebrew 'ניו ג׳בלאיה' — is entering its sixth month under a Shiite Muslim mayor, and characterizes the city as 'lost'. The source does not specify which city this refers to, and the name appears to conflate New Jersey with Jabalia, a town in the northern Gaza Strip. The report is unverified and originates from a single non-official Telegram account.
