Hamas
open to halting hostilities with Israel, Russia says-Israeli Defense
Minister Benny Gantz has ruled out a cease-fire for now.smoke billows
from Israeli airstrikes in Gaza City, controlled by the Palestinian
Hamas movement, on May 11, 2021.-al-Monitor Staff-May 13, 2021
A
senior Hamas political official said the group is willing to halt its
attacks on Israel if Israel does the same for Gaza, Russia’s Foreign
Ministry said on Wednesday.Hamas is ready to “stop any military actions
against Israel on a reciprocal basis” as long as international pressure
is mustered to prevent future Israeli “military actions in the Al-Aqsa
Mosque complex and East Jerusalem,” Moussa Abu Marzouk, deputy head of
Hamas’ political wing, told Russia’s deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail
Bogdanov today, according to the Russian ministry’s statement.Marzouk
also conditioned Hamas’ willingness to end the hostilities on Israel’s
cessation of “unlawful measures against its indigenous Arab
inhabitants.” The call was requested by the Palestinian side, the
statement read. The discussion was first reported by The Times of
Israel.Israel’s Defense Minister Benny Gantz said Wednesday that “Israel
is not preparing for a cease-fire” and that there is no end in sight
for the continued strikes on Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ)
targets in Gaza.“Only when we achieve complete quiet can we talk about
calm. We will not listen to moral preaching against our duty to protect
the citizens of Israel,” Gantz said.Earlier on Wednesday Gantz received a
phone call from US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who pledged
Washington’s “iron-clad support for Israel’s legitimate right to defend
itself and its people.”Fifty-six Palestinians, including 14 children,
have been killed so far amid Israeli strikes on Gaza, which began Monday
in retaliation for rocket attacks into Israel by Hamas and the PIJ.
Seven Israelis, including one child, have been killed, according to
local authorities.The United States on Wednesday dispatched envoy Hady
Amr to meet with and urge Palestinian and Israeli officials to
de-escalate the emerging conflict. The Biden administration has reached
out to Egypt for help decelerating the fighting.Rioting erupted in a
number of mixed Arab-Israeli cities in Israel on Wednesday. A mob of
Israelis severely beat a person whom they apparently believed was an
Arab man in Bat Yam, a Tel Aviv suburb. The Times of Israel also
reported a Jewish man in Acre was injured in the head after being pelted
with rocks by rioters.Israel’s Channel 12 News reported that Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pushed for the deployment of Israel’s
military inside cities experiencing unrest but that Defense Minister
Benny Gantz opposes the idea.
Erdogan wants to 'teach a deterrent
lesson' to Israel-The Turkish president made the remarks on the ongoing
conflict in Israel and the Palestinian Territories during a call with
Russian President Vladimir Putin.-Al-Monitor Staff-May 12, 2021
Turkish
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had harsh words for Israel during a call
with his Russian counterpart Wednesday. Erdogan said the international
community needs to “teach a deterrent lesson” to Israel over the ongoing
conflict with Palestinians, the Turkish news outlet Hurriyet Daily News
reported. he Turkish leader made the comments during a call with
Russian President Vladimir Putin. Erdogan also said he thinks Russia
will agree with Turkey at the United Nations on the issue, according to
Turkey’s official Anadolu Agency. Israel and the Palestinian territories
are engulfed in an intense conflict. Hamas in Gaza and the Israel
Defense Forces have both struck each other’s territory, leading to
dozens of deaths. There is also violence between Jews and Arabs in
Israeli cities and clashes in Jerusalem, where the unrest began. The
situation has hurt Turkey’s recent efforts to mend ties with Israel.
Turkey is one of the few but growing number of countries in the region
to recognize Israel, though relations have soured in recent years in
part due to Turkey’s friendly relationship with Hamas.
UN, US,
Russia and EU meet virtually on Israel, Palestinians-There have been no
substantive peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians since 2014.
(AFP)-24 March 2021
UNITED NATIONS: The United Nations, United
States, Russia and the European Union met virtually Tuesday to discuss
relaunching their long-stalled effort to get Israel and the Palestinians
to negotiate a two-state solution to their decades-old conflict.A brief
statement from the four Mideast mediators, known as the Quartet, said
envoys discussed returning “to meaningful negotiations that will lead to
a two-state solution, including tangible steps to advance freedom,
security and prosperity for Palestinians and Israelis, which is
important in its own right.”There have been no substantive peace talks
between Israel and the Palestinians since 2014, and the two sides are
fiercely divided over the core issues of the conflict.The United Nations
sent out the statement on the Quartet discussion after polls closed in
Tuesday’s Israeli election. Exit polls indicated there was no clear
winner, leaving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s fate uncertain and
signaling continued political deadlock in Israel.In late January, UN
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said there were “reasons to hope” for
progress toward ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict after years of
inaction. He said the United Nations would explore all initiatives to
facilitate “a true peace process” based on the two-state
solution.Clearly referring to the former US administration, without
naming then president Donald Trump, Guterres said “we were completely
locked down in a situation in which there was no progress visible.”The
Trump administration provided unprecedented support to Israel,
recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, moving the US Embassy from
Tel Aviv, slashing financial assistance for the Palestinians and
reversing course on the illegitimacy of Israeli settlements on land
claimed by the Palestinians.For more than three decades, the
Palestinians have sought an independent state in the West Bank, Gaza and
east Jerusalem, territories seized by Israel in the 1967 war. Israel
withdrew from Gaza in 2005 but imposed a crippling blockade when the
Palestinian militant group Hamas seized power from Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas’ forces in 2007.Israel has annexed east Jerusalem — a
step that is not internationally recognized — and has said it has no
intention of dismantling any of its West Bank settlements, which the
United Nations says are illegal under international humanitarian law.
Nearly 500,000 Israelis live in the West Bank, in addition to more than
200,000 in east Jerusalem.The peace plan unveiled by Trump in February
2020 envisioned a disjointed Palestinian state that turned over key
parts of the West Bank to Israel, siding with Israel on key contentious
issues including borders and the status of Jerusalem and Jewish
settlements. It was vehemently rejected by the Palestinians.Soon after
US President Joe Biden was inaugurated on Jan. 20, his administration
announced that it was restoring relations with the Palestinians and
renewing aid to Palestinian refugees, a reversal of Trump’s cutoff and a
key element of its new support for a two-state
solution.Secretary-General Guterres made clear in January that Biden’s
more even-handed approach opened the possibility of Quartet meetings
previously blocked by the US, as well as broader peace efforts.The
Quartet was established in 2002 and has been criticized for its failure
to get either Israel or the Palestinian Authority to change their
policies and negotiate an end to their conflict.Tuesday’s statement by
the Quartet envoys did not mention any future steps.It did say the
envoys discussed “the situation on the ground, in particular the
COVID-19 pandemic, the unsustainable disparity in economic development
between Israelis and Palestinians, and the need for the parties to
refrain from unilateral actions that make a two-state solution more
difficult to achieve.”
Israel shuts Ben Gurion Airport to
incoming flights; US airlines start canceling-Amid dangers posed by
ongoing rocket fire from Gaza, arriving planes diverted to Ramon airport
near Eilat; departures continue from Ben Gurion; US airlines begin
canceling flights-By TOI staff-may 13,21-Today, 10:11 am
In a bid
to minimize the exposure of civilian air travel to rocket fire from the
Gaza Strip, Israeli air officials said Thursday that incoming passenger
flights would be diverted from Ben Gurion International Airport near
Tel Aviv to Ramon Airport outside Eilat in the south.Palestinian
terrorists have fired waves of rockets at Israel over recent days, with
some of the projectiles slamming into the central region of the country,
where Ben Gurion Airport is located. No rockets have hit the sprawling
terminus.Under the new plan, passengers will disembark at Ramon, which
opened in 2019. The empty planes will then fly to Ben Gurion to take on
new passengers, and then depart from Ben Gurion to their destinations
abroad.The decision is meant to broaden the air corridor taken by
passenger flights in and out of the country and to minimize the numbers
of passenger-filled planes on the ground at any one place in order to
lower the chances that rocket fire from Gaza will hit a plane.Freight
aircraft and private planes will still be allowed to land at Ben Gurion,
an Israel Airports Authority spokesman said.The development came as US
airlines began canceling flights to Israel due to the rocket
attacks.United Airlines, American Airlines and Delta Airlines all said
they were canceling flights to Tel Aviv, The New York Times reported
Wednesday.Tuesday flights from Newark and Chicago, as well Wednesday
flights from San Francisco and Newark, were dropped by United Airlines.
In a notification titled “Middle East Unrest,” it said it would waive
change fees for flyers who had booked seats on planes either to or from
Israel up until May 25.American Airlines canceled a Wednesday flight
from John F. Kennedy Airport in New York to Tel Aviv as well as a return
flight on Thursday. It said in an update titled “Civil unrest — Tel
Aviv” that it would waive cancellation fees under certain circumstances
for those booked on flights until May 25, according to the
report.Meanwhile, Delta Airlines said it had canceled a flight from
Kennedy Airport to Tel Aviv as well as a return flight, both on
Wednesday. It issued a travel waiver for those booked on flights to Tel
Aviv between Tuesday and Thursday, citing “operational disruptions in
Tel Aviv.” A spokesman for Delta said the airline was “monitoring the
situation” and that no decision had been made on when flights would
restart.Israel’s national carrier, El Al, said Wednesday that it was
continuing flights as scheduled but that it would allow travelers to
change tickets booked on flights before May 19, or freeze their tickets,
without paying a fee. It also said it would allow passengers to have
free use of the WhatsApp messaging service on flights that have Wi-Fi so
that they can stay in contact with their families.Nearly 1,300 rockets
and mortar shells have been fired on southern and central Israel since
the start of the fighting on Monday, sending hundreds of thousands of
people, from Tel Aviv to Beersheba, fleeing to bomb shelters, according
to the IDF’s tally. Israel’s military has responded with airstrikes on
hundreds of Hamas and other terror group targets, destroying
infrastructure and killing senior commanders.A total of seven people
have been killed in Israel, including four people who died on Wednesday,
among them a soldier killed by an anti-tank missile and a five-year-old
boy hit by shrapnel.Gaza’s Hamas-run Health Ministry said the death
toll rose to 72 Palestinians, including 16 children. The IDF said dozens
of those killed were members of terrorist groups, some of whom were
actively preparing to launch attacks on Israel when they were hit.The
Palestinian Islamic Jihad confirmed the deaths of seven of its members,
while Hamas acknowledged that a top commander and several other members
were killed. Israel and a Palestinian human rights group, Defense for
Children, have said that several of the civilians were killed by Hamas
rockets falling short inside Gaza, not by Israeli airstrikes.The Israeli
military also claims the number of terrorists killed so far is much
higher than Hamas has acknowledged.

unrest flares between Israel and Palestinian terror groups in the Gaza
Strip, where the Israeli military has been carrying out strikes in
response to major rocket fire at the country.A total of seven people
have been killed in Israel, including four people who died on Wednesday,

Iron Dome intercepts 90% of Gaza rockets-Iron Dome near Ashkelon-13 May, 2021 11:49-Danny Zaken
The
missile defense system has been very effective against rockets
targeting Israeli cities but cannot stop them all.Israel's Iron Dome
missile interception system has been a major factor in the defense of
the country as the data show. Nearly 1,200 rockets have been fired at
Israel over the past two days about 300 of which fell inside the Gaza
Strip itself, at least one of them injuring Palestinians.Of the other
900 rockets (the number is continually rising), one third fell in open
territory, and out of the remaining 600, Iron Dome successfully
intercepted 90% of them. This is an exceptionally high percentage and
yet it has still meant that dozens of rockets have made it through to
hit people and property in Ashkelon, Ashdod, Rishon Lezion, Lod and
Givatayim and during the opening salvo the Jerusalem Hills.A military
source explained that the terrorist organizations are continually
examining the efficiency of Iron Dome and attempting to circumvent it,
mainly by the continual firing of dozens of rockets at different
ranges.This method was tried during the round of fighting 18 months ago
when Islamic Jihad launched dozens of missiles within minutes and
several were able to evade Iron Dome. One statement from Hamas said,
"Their Iron Dome is full of holes and the holy rockets can reach
anywhere in occupied Palestine."Nevertheless, Iron Dome is still the
world's most advanced short-range missile interception system. Each
battery costs about $100 million and every Tamir interception missile
fired costs $50,000. The system can intercept all kinds of short range
rockets, artillery shells up to 155 millimeters in diameter and other
missiles up to a range of 70 kilometers.Iron Dome has a minimum range of
4.5 kilometers, meaning it is unable to intercept very short range
rockets. The Tamir interception missile, according to foreign reports,
can travel at a speed of Mach 2.2 to its target and destroy it at a
height of 10,000 feet (about three kilometers). The Tamir interception
missile is very fast and can correct its flight path by maneuvering its
fins, which is similar to those installed on air-to-air missiles, which
are faster missiles, designed for faster more difficult targets to hit
like combat jets.Last year, the Iron Dome system was upgraded with the
capability added to precisely intercept 120 and 160 millimeter mortar
shells. The system is now being improved with options to intercept
drones and unmanned aerial vehicles up to a range of 10 kilometer.Iron
Dome has been sold to several countries including the US, Canada,
Romania and India.Published by Globes, Israel business news -

Gaza rocket volleys target
south at dawn as IDF hits key Hamas positions-Military bombs Hamas
treasuries, internal security HQ, naval commandos and bunker under a
school; 8 Israelis injured as rocket sparks fire in Petah Tikva-By Judah
Ari Gross and TOI staff-may 13,21-Today, 9:29 am
Palestinian
terrorists in the Gaza Strip renewed rocket fire into Israel at dawn
Thursday after a three-hour lull in attacks overnight. Meanwhile, the
Israel Defense Forces continued to attack what it said were key Hamas
targets, destroying the terror group’s treasuries and hitting more top
leaders.Rocket sirens sounded in areas around the Gaza Strip on Thursday
morning, with no immediate reports of injuries or damage. The predawn
attacks were relatively modest compared to the massive barrages that
were fired into Israel during the two preceding nights.Yet, in light of
the ongoing rocket fire toward central Israel, Ben Gurion Airport was
closed to incoming commercial flights on Thursday morning, with planes
being diverted instead to Ramon Airport north of Eilat. Private planes
and freight aircraft were still permitted to land at Ben Gurion, and
departures were allowed to continue as normal, an Israel Airports
Authority said.Some 150 rockets and mortar shells were fired from the
Gaza Strip at Israel from 8 p.m. Wednesday to 6 a.m. Thursday, 24 of
which landed inside the Palestinian enclave, according to an IDF tally.
In total, Palestinian terrorists have fired nearly 1,500 projectiles
toward Israel since the outbreak of fighting on Monday evening, with
roughly a fifth landing inside Gaza, the IDF said.Dozens to hundreds of
the projectiles heading toward Israel have been intercepted by Iron Dome
missile defense batteries, according to the military, which refuses to
give precise statistics on the matter as they could be used by terror
groups to find ways to outmaneuver the system. The IDF on Thursday said
the air defense system had a roughly 90 percent interception rate of
rockets and mortar shells heading toward populated areas.In the most
serious rocket attack overnight, two people were moderately injured by
shrapnel and six others were treated for smoke inhalation after a Hamas
rocket from Gaza struck in between homes in Petah Tikva shortly after
midnight, sparking a fire. The buildings near the fire sustained
moderate damage.on Wednesday night and Thursday morning, the Israeli
military expanded its targets in the Gaza Strip to include institutions
that Hamas uses to rule the Palestinian enclave, notably its treasury
and banks, IDF Spokesperson Hidai Zilberman said.In addition, the
Israeli Air Force bombed Hamas’s internal security headquarters, which
was used in counterintelligence operations, destroyed the home of Iyad
Tayeb, a battalion commander in Hamas’s military wing, and killed a
squad of Hamas’s naval forces, Zilberman said.In one case in the predawn
hours of Thursday morning, the IDF destroyed a Hamas bunker that had
been built under a school “and in proximity to other civilian
buildings.” Israel accuses the terror group of deliberately positioning
military targets in densely populated areas to use the civilians nearby
as human shields.According to Zilberman, the IDF has destroyed most of
Hamas’s domestic rocket production capabilities, bombing a large number
of weapons production and storage facilities. However, he said that the
military will struggle to continue striking weapons caches, which are
spread throughout the Strip. “If there were any warehouses with 100
rockets, they were destroyed in the first day of the operation,”
Zilberman said.In total, the IDF on Thursday said it had bombed upwards
of 600 targets in the Strip, over 100 of them over the previous 24
hours.The IDF’s campaign in Gaza, officially dubbed Operation Guardian
of the Walls, has so far been conducted primarily by airstrikes, as well
as artillery shellings from the ground and the sea, but the military
said it was preparing for the possibility of a ground
incursion.Zilberman said plans for a ground invasion would be presented
for approval by the IDF General Staff on Thursday, at which point they
would be given to Israel’s political leadership for consideration.The
IDF in recent days has deployed additional ground troops — from the
Paratroopers Brigade, Golani Infantry Brigade and 7th Armored Brigade —
to the Gaza border, sending with them tanks and armored personnel
carriers, which could be seen being transported by trucks on highways
throughout southern Israel.A total of seven people have been killed in
Israel, including four people who died on Wednesday, among them a
soldier killed by an anti-tank missile and a five-year-old boy hit by
shrapnel.Gaza’s Hamas-run Health Ministry said the death toll rose to 72
Palestinians, including 16 children. The IDF said dozens of those
killed were members of terrorist groups, some of whom were actively
preparing to launch attacks on Israel when they were hit.The Palestinian
Islamic Jihad confirmed the deaths of seven of its members, while Hamas
acknowledged that a top commander and several other members were
killed. Israel and a Palestinian human rights group, Defense for
Children, have said that several of the civilians were killed by Hamas
rockets falling short inside Gaza, not by Israeli attacks.The Israeli
military also claims the number of terrorists killed so far is much
higher than Hamas has acknowledged.
UN Security Council to hold
3rd meeting in a week on Israel-Palestinian clashes-At previous
gatherings, US blocked forum issuing statements it said would be
‘unhelpful’ in de-escalating violence; unlike previous sessions, Friday
meeting to be public-By AFP and TOI staff-may 13,21-Today, 8:30 am
Tunisia,
Norway and China have requested that another emergency UN Security
Council meeting be scheduled Friday on the worsening hostilities between
Israel and Palestinians, despite ongoing US resistance for the body to
take a role in the conflict.The session would be public and would
include participation by Israel and the Palestinians, diplomats told AFP
Wednesday.The Council has already held two closed-door videoconferences
since Monday, with the United States — a close Israel ally — opposing
adoption of a joint declaration, which it said would not “help
de-escalate” the situation.According to a diplomat speaking on condition
of anonymity, the idea of a third meeting in less than a week was
pushed by the Palestinians.The goal of a new meeting is “to try to
contribute to peace… and to have a Security Council able to express
itself and to call for ceasefire,” stressed another diplomat speaking
anonymously.Israel has insisted the Security Council not get involved in
the conflict, a demand Washington has so far agreed to, diplomats told
AFP.According to several sources, 14 of the 15 members of the Council
were in favor of adopting a joint declaration earlier Wednesday aimed at
reducing tension.However, the United States saw the Security Council
meeting as a sufficient show of concern, calling a statement
“counterproductive,” diplomats told AFP on condition of anonymity.‘Act
with immediacy’In Washington, chief diplomat Antony Blinken announced
that a US envoy would travel to the Middle East to seek to calm tensions
between Israel and the Palestinians.But in a sign of frustration, after
the US move to block a Security Council statement, four Council members
from Europe — Norway, Estonia, France and Ireland — issued their own
joint statement later Wednesday.“We condemn the firing of rockets from
Gaza against civilian populations in Israel by Hamas and other militant
groups which is totally unacceptable and must stop immediately,” the
statement said.“The large numbers of civilian casualties, including
children, from Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, and of Israeli fatalities
from rockets launched from Gaza, are both worrying and unacceptable.”“We
call on Israel to cease settlement activities, demolitions and
evictions, including in East Jerusalem,” they wrote.And Palestinian
Ambassador to the UN Riyad Mansour published a letter to the
organization’s top officials Wednesday in which he pleaded with them to
“act with immediacy to demand that Israel cease its attacks against the
Palestinian civilian population, including in the Gaza Strip.”Violence
risks spiraling-He also called for them to demand that Israel “cease all
other illegal Israeli actions and measures in the Occupied Palestinian
Territory, including East Jerusalem, including a halt to plans to
forcibly displace and ethnically cleanse Palestinians from the
City.”When asked about the inability of the Council, the body in charge
of world peace, to speak out on the Israeli-Palestinian clashes, UN
spokesman Stephane Dujarric expressed hope for a turnaround soon, and
added that “any international situation will always benefit from a
strong and unified voice from the Security Council.UN Middle East envoy
Tor Wennesland had warned Wednesday’s meeting that the “situation has
deteriorated since Monday… there is a risk of a spiral of violence,”
according to a diplomatic source.During a first emergency meeting on
Monday, the United States also refused to back a text proposed by
Tunisia, Norway and China calling on all parties to refrain from
provocation.Renewed rocket fire and rioting in mixed Jewish-Arab towns
have fueled growing fears that deadly violence between Israel and
Palestinians could descend into full-scale war.The most intense
hostilities in seven years have killed at least seven people in Israel
and 65 people in Gaza, including 16 minors, according to Hamas. Israel
says most of the Palestinian casualties were combatants.
Heavy
barrage hits Tel Aviv, Beersheba; Hamas calls it revenge for slain
leaders-Child hurt running to shelter; terror group says it used
long-range missile in failed attack on Eilat, and launched new ‘suicide
drones’; IDF hits four anti-tank missile teams-By Judah Ari Gross-MAY
V13,21-Today, 4:47 pm
Hamas operatives fired large fusillades of
rockets at the Tel Aviv area and Beersheba and toward Eilat’s airport on
Thursday afternoon, in what the terror group said was an act of revenge
for its commanders who were killed in Israeli strikes this week.Dozens
of rockets were fired in the attacks, which triggered sirens throughout
central Israel and the northern Negev desert. A 60-year-old woman was
lightly injured by shrapnel in the town of Kiryat Gat in southern
Israel, along with a 7-year-old boy and 40-year-old woman who were
injured while running to bomb shelters, medics said.Earlier in the day,
Israel closed Ben Gurion International Airport to incoming passenger
flights, diverting them to Eilat’s Ramon Airport. Hamas said it
subsequently targeted that airfield as well.“By the order of the
commander of the Qassam Staff Abu Khaled Muhammad al-Deif, rockets were
launched towards Ramon Airport with the 250 Ayyash missile with a range
of 250 kilometers,” Abu Obeida, spokesman for Hamas’s military wing, the
Al-Qassam Brigades, claimed in a statement, referring to an allegedly
new Hamas rocket with a far greater range than ones previously known to
be in the terror group’s arsenal.No sirens were heard in the rocket fire
toward Eilat, as the projectile landed in an open area far outside the
city, where it caused neither injury nor damage.Hamas also said it had
launched a number of “suicide drones,” unmanned aerial vehicles carrying
explosive payloads, into southern Israel from the Gaza Strip. The
military confirmed downing at least two such drones. Channel 12 news
reported that the drones appeared to have primitive capabilities and did
not seem to represent a serious danger.Obeida said the attacks were
“part of our response to the assassination of our heroic leaders and
engineers,” adding that the rockets used were partially developed by
those who were killed.On Wednesday morning, the Israel Defense Forces
and Shin Bet security service conducted a large-scale operation
targeting a number of top commanders in Hamas, including the head of its
Gaza City battalion and several people involved in its weapons
production operations in the Strip, the military said.On Thursday
afternoon Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan sent a letter to the
Security Council calling on the top UN body to strongly condemn the
ongoing rocket fire from Gaza and uphold Israel’s right to defend
itself.“The indiscriminate rocket fire constitutes a double war crime,”
Erdan wrote. “It is clear that Hamas premeditated this escalation in
violence and terrorism and is happy to pay the price of casualties on
both sides in order to strengthen itself politically.”Also Thursday the
IDF said it bombed four Hamas cells preparing to launch anti-tank guided
missiles at targets in southern Israel over the course of two hours,
striking the teams before they could carry out their attacks. The
military said it also bombed an anti-tank guided missile launcher that
had been positioned on an apartment building in the southern Gaza Strip,
accusing Hamas of using the occupants as human shields.According to the
IDF, over 1,500 rockets and mortar shells have been fired toward Israel
by terror groups in the Gaza Strip since fighting broke out on Monday
evening. Roughly a fifth of those landed inside the Palestinian enclave,
and in at least one case killed a number of children when the rocket
hit a school.Hundreds of the incoming projectiles have been intercepted
by Iron Dome missile defense batteries, according to the military, which
refuses to give precise statistics on the matter as they could be used
by terror groups to find ways to outmaneuver the system.The IDF on
Thursday said the air defense system had a roughly 90 percent
interception rate of projectiles heading toward populated areas. Terror
groups have been launching rockets in massive barrages to try and
overwhelm the system.In the most serious rocket attack overnight, two
people were moderately injured by shrapnel and six others were treated
for smoke inhalation after a Hamas rocket from Gaza struck in between
homes in Petah Tikva shortly after midnight, sparking a fire. The
buildings near the fire sustained moderate damage.On Wednesday night and
Thursday morning, the Israeli military expanded its targets in the Gaza
Strip to include institutions that Hamas uses to rule the Palestinian
enclave, notably its treasury and banks, IDF Spokesperson Hidai
Zilberman said.In addition, the Israeli Air Force bombed Hamas’s
internal security headquarters used in counterintelligence operations,
destroyed the home of Iyad Tayeb, a battalion commander in Hamas’s
military wing, and killed a squad of Hamas’s naval forces, Zilberman
said.In one case in the predawn hours of Thursday morning, the IDF
destroyed a Hamas bunker that had been built under a school “and in
proximity to other civilian buildings.”According to Zilberman, the IDF
has destroyed most of Hamas’s domestic rocket production capabilities,
bombing a large number of weapons production and storage facilities.
However, he said that the military will struggle to continue striking
significant weapons caches, which are spread throughout the Strip. “If
there were any warehouses with 100 rockets, they were destroyed in the
first day of the operation,” Zilberman said.The IDF on Thursday said it
had so far bombed upwards of 600 targets in the Strip, over 100 of them
in the previous 24 hours.The IDF’s campaign in Gaza, officially dubbed
Operation Guardian of the Walls, has so far been conducted primarily by
airstrikes, as well as artillery shellings from the ground and the sea,
but the military said it was preparing for the possibility of a ground
incursion.Zilberman said plans for a ground invasion would be presented
for approval by the IDF General Staff on Thursday, at which point they
would be given to Israel’s political leadership for consideration.The
IDF in recent days has deployed additional ground troops — from the
Paratroopers Brigade, Golani Infantry Brigade and 7th Armored Brigade —
to the Gaza border, sending with them tanks and armored personnel
carriers, which could be seen being transported by trucks on highways
throughout southern Israel.On Thursday the army said it was canceling
all weekend leave for combat soldiers as it prepared for the possibility
of a ground operation. Zilberman said the military had called up 7,000
reservists. Roughly half of those were troops from air defense,
artillery and medical units, and half serve in administrative and
intelligence positions, Zilberman said.A total of seven people have been
killed in Israel, including four people who died on Wednesday, among
them a soldier killed by an anti-tank missile and a 5-year-old boy hit
by shrapnel in Sderot.Gaza’s Hamas-run Health Ministry said the death
toll there rose to 72 Palestinians, including 16 children, Thursday. The
IDF said dozens of those killed were members of terrorist groups, some
of whom were actively preparing to launch attacks on Israel when they
were hit.The Palestinian Islamic Jihad confirmed the deaths of seven of
its members, while Hamas acknowledged that a top commander and several
other members were killed. Israel and a Palestinian human rights group,
Defense for Children, have said that several of the civilians were
killed by Hamas rockets falling short inside Gaza, not by Israeli
attacks, though Defense for Children does claim at least some of the
children were killed by Israeli strikes.The Israeli military also claims
the number of terrorists killed so far is much higher than Hamas has
acknowledged.
Op-ed-Israel, Hamas and our vicious internal
rupture: An attempt at moral clarity-We’re deep in two wars – against a
cynical terror-state next door and an explosion of murderous intolerance
within. No country can tolerate the former, or function amid the
latter-By David Horovitz-MAY 13,21-Today, 3:35 pm
From across our
southern border, an Islamic terrorist organization is firing hundreds
of rockets indiscriminately across half or more of the country, in the
current phase of its ongoing declared effort to remove the world’s only
majority Jewish state from our biblical homeland.Inside Israel, Arab and
Jewish extremist thugs are attacking arbitrary members of each other’s
community — beating, shooting, stabbing, attempting to kill — in an orgy
of ethnic violence that is tearing this country apart from within.ith
familiar malice and/or superficiality, some leaders and would-be opinion
shapers around the world are, despicably, accusing Israel of immoral
behavior and seeking to punitively constrain Israel’s capacity to defend
itself, for the ostensible crime of attempting to quell the Hamas fire
from neighboring Gaza.Where our morality is actually being tested,
however, is in grappling with the internal violence — born of a boiling
mix of factors both historical and fresh that now threatens to burst out
of any control.The following is an effort to make some sense of the
challenges we face. It’s brief and imperfect; the background is complex,
and the reality is shifting hour by hour. More than anything, I hope
it’s redundant, and that both our current wars prove less threatening
than they appear right now.Gaza, in context-Amid bitter domestic
argument, and with strong support from the international community,
Israel unilaterally “disengaged” from Gaza in 2005. It uprooted more
than 20 settlements and their approximately 8,000 residents, and pulled
back to the pre-1967 lines.Many Israelis considered the withdrawal a
dangerous vindication of Palestinian terrorism; many were relieved at
the thought that Israel had finally separated itself from the toxic Gaza
Strip. Any faint notion that Gaza, without the Israelis, might start to
thrive as an independent Palestinian enclave and come to constitute an
encouraging step toward a wider Israeli-Palestinian settlement was
thoroughly dispelled by June 2007, when Hamas ousted the Fatah forces of
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas from the Strip in a few
days of no-nonsense brutality.Since then, Hamas and its various other
allied and rival terrorist groups have subverted any and every possible
resource to the goal of harming Israel. Hamas has mounted cross-border
terrorist attacks, sent killers via tunnels dug beneath the border,
flown incendiary balloons into Israel, goaded masses of Gazans into
endless confrontations at the fence.And, as underlined by the current
onslaught, it has assembled and gradually upgraded a formidable rocket
arsenal, capable of launching dozens upon dozens of increasingly potent
projectiles deep into Israel within minutes. Thursday saw it targeting
both of Israel’s international airports — Ben Gurion and, apparently
using a rocket of unprecedented range, Ramon, near Eilat.Were it not for
the 90% successful Iron Dome rocket defense system, much of Israel
would have been reduced to rubble over the past few days, as it would
have been during the innumerable previous Hamas rocket onslaughts in
recent years. Were it not for the Israeli and Egyptian efforts to deny
Hamas a free hand in importing weaponry, Israel would have faced still
more devastating military perils from Gaza. These would have included
the kinds of precision-guided weaponry stockpiled over the years by that
other quasi-state terrorist army, Hezbollah, that dominates a second
territory from which Israel unilaterally withdrew, southern Lebanon.The
cynical, astute and amoral Hamas has presented the current escalation as
a “battle for Jerusalem” — reflecting its stated motivation to
eliminate Israel and sever the Jewish people’s 3,000-year connection to
their capital, while advancing its goal of supplanting Abbas, Fatah and
the PA as the principal leader of the Palestinian people.In battering
Israel with its rockets, forcing the gradual isolation of Israel as
worried foreign airlines begin canceling flights, securing “victory
pictures” when interrupting a session of the Knesset or sending people
running for cover at the airport, and re-galvanizing anti-Israel forces
worldwide, this campaign has already proved a considerable success for
Hamas, which cares not at all for the suffering it is causing Gazans as
the Israeli army attempts to stop the rocket fire.o country on earth
could allow its home front to be targeted in the way Hamas attacks
Israel. No military force on earth could counter that threat, when the
rockets are launched from the midst of a civilian populace, without
harming civilians. The amorality of Hamas as the cynical aggressor, and
the legitimacy of Israel in defending its populace against the de facto
government of the terror state next door, should be clear to anybody
prepared to familiarize themselves with reality-Israel, in ferment-One
of the chorus of Israeli politicians across the spectrum moved to
comment on the eruption of internal, ethnic violence in Israel, Defense
Minister Benny Gantz on Wednesday pronounced our bloodily exposed
internal divisions to be “no less dangerous than Hamas.”In fact, a
descent into civil war is potentially more threatening than the enemy
across the border. A country without internal cohesion simply cannot
survive in a perennially dangerous region. A country tearing itself
apart from within is no place to live.The explosion of Arab violence
against Jews is, among other factors, a consequence of decades of
government neglect in much of the Arab community. Crime has long run
wild. Poverty, alienation from the state, a pervading sense of
discrimination — all this and more constitute fertile ground for
extremism, hatred, and violence. And that’s without factoring in
identification with the Palestinian cause.The explosion of Jewish
violence against Arabs is, among other factors, a consequence of an
emboldening of the extremists and racists that are present on the
margins of all societies, and that thrive when they internalize a
political climate moving in their favor, and a law enforcement
establishment unable to cope. Known political provocateurs such as the
Kahanist Itamar Ben Gvir are now Knesset members; his party Otzma
Yehudit, which encompasses the anti-miscegenation Lehava group —
denounced by President Reuven Rivlin as akin to “rodents gnawing under
the shared democratic and Jewish foundation of Israel” — was shepherded
into parliament as part of an alliance shamefully brokered by Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Lehava was at the heart of recent anti-Arab
protests near Damascus Gate (which themselves followed incidents of
East Jerusalem Arabs attacking ultra-Orthodox Jews).Israel’s police
force — underfunded, understaffed and left without a commissioner from
2018 to 2020 — has proved as incapable of deterring Jewish extremists as
it has of deterring Arab extremists. Everybody is complaining that the
police are nowhere to be found, or are taking too long to arrive at
flashpoints of internal ethnic violence, police spokesman Eli Levy told
Channel 12 news on Thursday afternoon, “but you have to understand that
in the past 24 hours there have been 127,000 calls to the police
emergency 100 hotline.” On a normal day, he said, there are about
10,000.Feeding off each other, the thugs on each side are gaining
momentum, and the vast majority of Israelis are caught, horrified and
targeted, in the middle. The interethnic friction and violence, to the
undoubted delight of our external enemies, is of course being
exacerbated by the incessant Hamas attacks.After Wednesday’s endless
series of vicious attacks, denunciations poured in from all the way
across the political spectrum. But angry condemnation and plaintive
calls for calm are no substitute for principled leadership, practical
policies to address legitimate grievance, adequate funding to tackle
inequalities, and both budget and support for effective law
enforcement.Israel cannot and will not be deterred by malicious or
misguided international castigation from seeking to safeguard its
populace against Hamas and other external enemies. But to ensure we have
a country cohesive and resilient enough to defend itself, a country in
which our overwhelmingly fine and decent citizens can delight and
thrive, we need leadership and governance willing and able to rectify
the moral and practical failings that have set our streets on fire from
within.“The violent disturbances we saw yesterday are a genuine threat
to Israeli sovereignty,” Rivlin said on Thursday. “Our home is on fire,
and we don’t have another one.”
Gantz orders callup of Border
Patrol reserves as Jewish-Arab violence spirals-Defense minister signs
order for 10 companies of reservists, vows that army will not be used
for police activities; assaults, vandalism continue-By Stuart Winer and
TOI staff-MAY 13,21-Today, 12:56 pm
After a night of violence
that saw Jewish and Arab rioters wreak havoc in several towns,
overwhelming local police, Defense Minister Benny Gantz on Thursday
ordered a major call-up of Border Police reservists to bolster officers
working to contain the unrest.Ten companies of reservists from the
paramilitary Border Police were to be brought in, the Defense Ministry
said in a statement.“We are in a time of emergency,” Gantz said, noting
the nationalist background of the turmoil. “At this time a massive
response by forces on the ground is needed.”However, Gantz stressed that
no IDF soldiers would be involved in police activities, “which are not
part of the IDF’s mission as a people’s army.”His insistence that the
army be kept off the streets was in direct contrast with the approach of
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who announced the night before that
he was looking at deploying the military inside towns to restore
order.Gantz added that policing and enforcement were not a replacement
for “responsible leadership and reducing the tensions.”The minister said
that on Wednesday night he met with the mayors of 30 Arab Israeli
municipalities and that he would hold further meetings during the day
with Arab and Jewish leaders “in order to cool things on the ground, and
to stop the incitement and agitation that is tearing Israeli society
apart from within.”His order came after the worst night of internal
Jewish-Arab chaos for years, as scenes of rioting, hate rallies and
growing social chaos spread throughout numerous cities, some of which
were once seen as symbols of coexistence.Despite two previous days of
ever-expanding unrest, and a call-up of reinforcements for both police
and Border Police, law enforcement once again seemed woefully unequipped
to handle the scope of the chaos, and many scenes of violence went
ahead with little police interference.Violence continued Thursday
morning with a Jewish man, 34, stabbed near a market in Lod, a city with
Jewish and Arab populations that has become an epicenter of the ethnic
violence gripping the country. The injured man was on his way to prayers
and was attacked near a mosque in the city, according to Hebrew media
reports.He suffered moderate injuries and was taken to the Assaf Harofeh
Medical Center in Rishon Lezion for treatment, the Israel Police said
in a statement. The stabber escaped.Meanwhile, an Arab woman in the city
was seriously injured by a rock thrown at her head. She was pregnant
and gave birth to a healthy baby at the hospital after the attack,
according to reports.In the south of the country, street lights were
toppled into the road along Route 31 between Beersheba and Arad, the Kan
public broadcaster reported. Video footage showed cars driving slowly
under the lamps. One driver said that stones were thrown at his car, and
that police were not taking any action.In other incidents during the
morning, a small hotel was set on fire in Jewish-Arab Acre and two
police patrol cars were torched in the Arab town of Kfar Qasim.Five
people were arrested in Jerusalem on suspicion of attacking a Jewish man
near the Damascus Gate to the Old City, police said. In a video of the
incident, several youths can be seen running up behind an ultra-Orthodox
man, knocking him to the floor and trampling on him before running off.
The man required medical treatment, police said.Thursday saw
improvements in the condition of two of the most seriously injured from
the clashes the night before, a Jewish man attacked by Arabs in Acre,
who left him in serious condition, and an Arab man who was seriously
injured by a mob of Jewish rioters in Bat Yam who pulled him from his
car and beat him to the ground.Doctors at the Galilee Medical Center
said the condition of the Jewish man, 37, had significantly improved
though he was still sedated and on a ventilator. The man, who has
already had one emergency operation to address head wounds he suffered
in the attack, will require more surgery, doctors said.The Arab man,
whose assault was caught live on camera and became the focal point of
calls from the country’s leadership for the violence to stop, also
reportedly improved, with his condition now considered
moderate.Meanwhile, Avi Har-Even, 84, a former director of the Israel
Space Agency, remained in serious condition from injuries he suffered
when the Efendi Hotel he was staying at in Acre was set on fire Tuesday
night. Several other guests in the hotel were also injured. Har-Even, a
past winner of the Israel Prize for security, was being kept sedated and
on ventilation at the Rambam Medical Center.The Bat Yam violence saw
the Jewish rioters also attacking Arab property in the coastal
city.Henri Sasin, whose Victory ice cream shop in the city was
ransacked, told Channel 12 of his feelings of insecurity following two
decades of operating in Bat Yam. “They smashed the whole place,” he said
as he surveyed the damage. “I have no idea of the [extent] of the
damag“I don’t feel safe and it is very bad for me,” added Sasin, who is
Arab.“I have been here 21 years and 20 years ago was the last time it
happened,” he said, apparently referring to unrest during the second
Palestinian intifada. “Now it has happened again and I don’t know when
it will end.”Violent confrontations continued Wednesday night in Lod,
Acre, Jerusalem, Haifa, Bat Yam, Tiberias and many other locations, with
many people injured, some of them seriously.Police arrested over 400
people and 36 officers were hurt in clashes.On Thursday police said 32
people who were arrested during violence in southern Bedouin towns and
communities would be brought for remand hearings during the day.Violence
between the Jewish and Arab communities spiraled from confrontations in
Jerusalem surrounding the month-long Muslim month of Ramadan and
clashes on the Temple Mount, and came to a head as Israel engaged in an
escalating clash with terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip.President
Reuven Rivlin, who celebrated a Ramadan iftar meal just weeks ago, on
Wednesday condemned what he termed a “pogrom” by a “bloodthirsty Arab
mob.”Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement that “what
has been happening in the last few days in the cities of Israel is
unacceptable.”“Nothing justifies the lynching of Arabs by Jews and
nothing justifies the lynching of Jews by Arabs.”
