• The border between Israel and Syria in the Golan continues to heat up with various exchanges of gunfire between IDF troops and Syrian forces. It’s the first time Syria says it deliberately targeted Israeli forces. In a separate incident, an Israeli soldier in the engineer corps was killed while working in a minefield. [Reuters]

• Will embattled hedge fund hero Steve Cohen call it quits? New York Mag asks around. [NYM]

Al Jazeera continues to dither uncomfortably after publishing, unpublishing, and then republishing Joseph Massad’s anti-Semitic vitriol. [AJE]

• Over at Zeek, Jake Marmer has a new batch of poems. Check them out. [Forward]

• According to a pole poll, Mila Kunis is the Hollywood starlet that people would most like to see in a pornographic movie. Jewcy has the scoop, tastefully. [Jewcy]
