Israeli jets reportedly strike several sites in Gaza-Air force targets locations in Khan Younis, Rafah; rocket fired at Eshkol region; no injuries or damage reported-By Times of Israel staff July 1, 2014, 2:20 am 2
Israeli jets struck several sites in Khan Younes and Rafah in the Gaza Strip early Tuesday morning, according to Palestinian sources.Earlier, a rocket was fired in the direction of the Eshkol Regional Council, landing in open terrain. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.The strikes came hours after the bodies of kidnapped Israeli teenagers — Eyal Yifrach, 19, Gil-ad Shaar, 16 and Naftali Fraenkel, 16 — were found partially buried in a field near the West Bank village of Halhul, north of Hebron.The teenagers were kidnapped on the night of June 12 at a hitchhiking post outside the settlement of Alon Shvut in the Etzion Bloc south of Jerusalem.The bodies were found at about 5:30 p.m. Monday, bound and partially buried, in an open field in a hard-to-access area. The site is less than 20 kilometers (12 miles) from where the teens had been abducted.Israel is on the hunt for two Hamas men it says were behind the kidnappings, Marwan Kawasme and Amer Aby Aysha.Since the start of Operation Brother’s Keeper to find them, 18 days of searches had seen the arrests of over 400 Palestinians, a majority of them members of Hamas.On Monday, Hamas operatives launched a large volley of rockets which slammed into Israel, the first time in years the Islamist group has directly challenged the Jewish state, according to Israeli defense officials.At least 16 rockets were fired at Israel Monday morning, most of them hitting open areas in the Eshkol region, the army said.The security sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, assessed that Hamas had probably launched the barrage in revenge for an Israeli airstrike several hours earlier which killed one person and injured three more.A member of Hamas’s militant wing was killed in the attack, Gaza health official Ashraf al-Kidra said.While Israel has maintained it holds Hamas responsible for all rocket attacks, officials have said that smaller groups, such as Islamic Jihad, are usually behind the rocket attacks, while Hamas squads generally attempt to thwart the rocket fire.Hamas hasn’t fired rockets into Israel since Operation Pillar of Defense ended in November 2012, and has yet to take responsibility for this latest barrage.The group fired hundred of rockets at Israel over eight days during Operation Pillar of Defense in 2012, as Israel carried out punishing strikes on the Palestinian enclave.Officials said Monday’s rocket attacks, which appeared to deliberately target Israeli communities close to the border with the Gaza Strip, may have been intended to warn Israel against targeting Hamas operatives.The army said in a statement that the Sunday night air raid was targeting terrorists “in the southern Gaza Strip, during their final preparations to launch rockets at civilian communities of southern Israel.”“Hamas is responsible for the outrageous attacks originating from Gaza, and will be pursued as such,” IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner said.The air force attack on Khan Younis Sunday night came minutes after Palestinians in the coastal enclave fired a volley of rockets at southwestern Israel. The Iron Dome defense system shot down two of the projectiles — Grad rockets — over Netivot. There were no reports of injury or damage in the rocket attack.Early Sunday morning, air force planes struck 12 sites in Gaza in response to rockets fired over the weekend. Two rockets hit the town of Sderot, close to the border with Gaza, late Saturday, causing a massive fire that destroyed a paint factory.

The security cabinet was set to convene an emergency session at 8:00 p.m. on Monday night, as the IDF increased its presence in the search for the kidnapped teenagers north of Hebron.Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon said dramatic developments have taken place in the abduction case.Clashes were reported between Palestinian and the IDF Monday in the West Bank village of Halhul, north of Hebron. Several Palestinian protesters hurled stones and other objects at the soldiers. IDF forces have been in the area since the three teenagers were abducted.Israel’s security forces arrested six Palestinians Sunday night in an ongoing effort to find three kidnapped Israeli teens.The IDF said that five of the suspects were members of Hamas from Hebron, where the military has been concentrating its search, and one was from the Ramallah area.IDF Spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner confirmed that all of the arrests were made in connection with the search for the teens.The three kidnapped Israeli teens, from L-R: Eyal Yifrach, 19, Naftali Fraenkel, 16, and Gil-ad Shaar, 16. (photo credit: courtesy) Since the start of Operation Brother’s Keeper to rescue Naftali Fraenkel, Gil-ad Shaar and Eyal Yifrach, over 400 Palestinians have been arrested, a majority of them members of Hamas.Israeli authorities on Thursday named two Hamas members as prime suspects in the kidnapping.The two, Amer Abu Aysha and Marwan Kawasme, have been missing from their homes in Hebron’s Hares neighborhood ever since the kidnapping took place on the night of June 12 and are still at large.Hamas officials in Hebron confirmed the two suspects were members, and said Israeli troops have targeted the men’s homes since the beginning of Operation Brother’s Keeper. The officials said troops had entered the homes several times, conducting intense searches and confiscating items as evidence.Israeli intelligence officials were quoted over the weekend saying that they anticipated the search for the three could be very protracted, and that it was clear the kidnappers had prepared carefully ahead of carrying out the abduction. Fraenkel, Shaar and Yifrach were abducted from a West Bank bus stop on June 12, prompting a massive manhunt by Israeli forces and intelligence agencies focused on the Hebron area.

IDF forces are currently conducting heavy sweeps of the northern Hevron Hills area, eyewitnesses say, in the ongoing search for kidnapped teens Naftali Frenkel (16), Gilad Sha'ar (16), Eyal Yifrah (19).At least one report claims that several Palestinian Arab terrorists have clashed with the large scale IDF forces in the area.Additional information cannot be reported at this time.The search follows an announcement by Israeli Police Monday that five officers would be dismissed over the handling of the call made by one of the abductees to the police hotline, after an intensive investigation revealed that the Judea-Samaria Police District had delayed reporting the abduction for over eight hours. A policeman at the police's 100 hotline received the call and passed on the information as per protocol, but several higher-level officers dismissed it as a prank.More to follow.

Liberman: Jordan's Stability 'Vital' to Israel's Security-Foreign Minister says Israel 'will do everything to maintain the stability of Jordan' following threats from ISIS takeover.By Tova Dvorin and Elad Ben-Ari-First Publish: 6/30/2014, 6:29 PM-IsraelNationalNews
The spread of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) through Iraq has not eluded the Jewish state's notice, Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman (Yisrael Beytenu) said Monday.According to Liberman, regional stability is important enough to prompt financial help from Israel to Jordan, if necessary, to prevent ISIS from reaching the Jewish state."Jordan's stability is a vital interest of the State of Israel," Liberman stated, in a meeting with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier. "Without going into details, we will do everything to maintain the stability of Jordan."
Steinmeier agreed.
"ISIS in Iraq constitutes a serious threat to the territorial integrity of Iraq and the entire region," he said. He urged that the entire international community must work so that "ISIS cannot tighten its grip [on the Middle East] and the caliphate it declared does not turn into a center for terror and violence." "We have seen from clashes in the Golan Heights how events in the region can affect the security of Israel," Steinmeier continued. "We must ensure that a solution is found for the internal problems in Iraq, and establish a government that will represent proportionally all communities and factions to detract support for ISIS from the Sunni population." On Sunday, former National Security Council director Yaakov Amidror warned against ISIS moving in on Jordan and posing a threat to Israel, adding that if Jordan requested Israeli assistance in preventing its border with Iraq from being overrun by ISIS, Israel would have little choice but to help.ISIS on Sunday declared it had established a "caliphate", or Islamist state, straddling Iraq and Syria.The jihadists said the state would spread from Aleppo in northern Syria to Diyala in eastern Iraq, and ordered Muslims in those areas to pay allegiance to the group.In Syria, ISIS fighters already control large swathes of territory in Deir Ezzor near the Iraq border, in Raqa in the north, as well as parts of neighboring Aleppo province.In Iraq, they have spearheaded a lightning offensive, capturing sizable territories in the north and west of the conflict-torn country.Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu also voiced concern over "the powerful wave triggered by ISIS, which could reach Jordan in a very short time" Sunday, in a speech calling for independence for Kurdish Pashmerga forces fighting the terrorist group. "We must be able to stop the terrorism and fundamentalism that can reach us from the east at the Jordan line and not in the suburbs of Tel Aviv," he added.
Netanyahu’s commitment to 2 states seems shakier than ever-With speech cementing Jordan River as Israel’s border and ignoring calls for unilateral withdrawal, PM gives annexationists cause for hopeBy Raphael Ahren June 30, 2014, 5:31 pm-The Times of Israel
On Sunday night, at a high-profile conference, Benjamin Netanyahu delivered what was essentially his “Bar-Ilan 3″ speech – a foreign policy address that outlined his government’s policy regarding the conflict with the Palestinians. But while other speakers at the conference put forth new ideas on how to break the impasse in the peace process, the prime minister, despite stating his commitment to a two-state solution, announced a set of policies that would make such a solution even harder to achieve.The conference, held by the Institute for National Security Studies and titled “In the Absence of Progress toward a Final Status Agreement: Options for Israel,” was the ideal venue for Netanyahu to lay down a new vision for the future now that the US-brokered peace talks have collapsed and a Palestinian unity government has been established. He utilized it to announce the construction of a security fence on Israel’s border with Jordan, and to insist that the IDF must maintain overall security responsibility for the entire West Bank in the foreseeable future. Rather than explaining how he intends to implement his first Bar-Ilan speech of 2009, in which he envisaged the creation of a Palestinian state, he fueled the right wing’s hopes that there will never be a Palestinian state between the river and the sea.Before Netanyahu took the podium at the prestigious think thank in Tel Aviv, its director, retired general Amos Yadlin, a former military intelligence chief, laid out his Plan B, to be implemented in the likely scenario that Israeli and Palestinian leaders fail to bridge their gaps and sign a peace agreement. He called for Israeli “redeployment” — in other words, a unilateral withdrawal from most of the West Bank that could facilitate, if not the end of the conflict, at least a two-state reality that would forestall the binational state scenario.If Jerusalem finds that it has no Palestinian partner with which to sign an accord, “Israel will initiate a long-term program to independently draw Israel’s borders in coordination with its allies,” Yadlin suggested. “This program will signal the state’s willingness to relinquish sovereignty over 80 to 90 percent of the West Bank, a willingness that will be also be exercised on the ground.” Israel’s new borders would be based on the security fence in the West Bank, but the Jordan Valley and the entire city of Jerusalem should remain under Israeli sovereignty, Yadlin recommended.“Israel needs to have an alternative plan, because we don’t want to remain with the status quo,” Yadlin continued. He didn’t fear the current state of affairs in Israel and the West Bank as much as others in the international community did, he clarified. But, he cautioned, “if managed unwisely,” the status quo will harm Israel in the long run, causing delegitimization, boycotts, economic woes and eventually a one-state solution that would spell the end to Israel’s Jewish and democratic character.“As we’ve always done in the history of Zionism, we need to take the initiative, to move on to a proactive policy, to stop buying time and to start enacting a policy that will benefit us,” Yadlin said. An Israeli “redeployment” would be no gift to the Palestinians, the veteran military analyst asserted, but would ultimately serve Israel’s interest.To be sure, the idea that Israelis need to take their destiny in their own hands and unilaterally withdraw from large parts of the West Bank has been gaining traction for months now. It has many supporters, including former close advisers to Netanyahu such as Yoaz Hendel and Michael Oren.Yadlin himself has spoken about his Plan B several times in the past, yet never in quite so prominent a venue: a half-day conference keynoted by the prime minister. In between Yadlin’s presentation and Netanyahu’s speech, a panel comprising prominent Israeli lawmakers from various parties discussed a possible Israeli withdrawal, and alternatives to it, wondering whether the prime minister would pick up the gauntlet and offer something new on the future of Israeli-Palestinian relations.But Yadlin and others who hoped that Netanyahu would agree that Israel needs to proactively shape its own borders were disappointed. The prime minister spoke for 25 minutes, and delivered headlines by calling for an independent Kurdistan, but there was nary a word about how Israel could draw closer to implementing the two-state solution he himself has in the past endorsed as a key policy point.Declaring that “the forces of fanatical Islam” — in the form of Sunni ISIL militants in Iraq and Syria, as well as Iran — “are already knocking on our door,” the prime minister called for the construction of “a security fence on our eastern border, and to build it gradually all the way from Eilat to merge with the security fence that we’ve been building over the last two years in the Golan Heights.”Such a plan implicitly suggests that the Jordan River would become Israel’s eastern border, and it leaves little room for an independent Palestine, a senior Israeli official acknowledged in a private conversation. Whether intended or not, erecting a border fence always signals a state’s intention to draw a final border, the official said. It certainly won’t bring Israel closer to a negotiated two-state solution, since the Palestinians have insisted that even if short-term security arrangements keep the Jordan Valley out of their hands for a limited time, they eventually expect to be granted control of the border with Jordan.Another senior government official, however, rejected this assessment. “The political border between us and the Palestinians will be determined in the negotiating room. But what the prime minister made clear last night is that Israel’s will have a security presence on the Jordan River,” the official said. Jerusalem’s plans to construct the fence along Israel’s border with the Hashemite kingdom are nothing new and were discussed with the Americans during the recently halted peace talks, the official added.During his speech Sunday, Netanyahu interpreted his seminal first Bar Ilan speech, in which he agreed, in principle, to a demilitarized Palestinian state that recognized Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people. (He gave a second Bar Ilan speech last October.) ‘Netanyahu does not believe in the creation of a Palestinian state under the current circumstances’“What does ‘demilitarized’ mean?” he asked Sunday. Answering his own question, he said that “in light of what’s happening in our surroundings,” only Israel can be responsible for security in the entire West Bank, to make sure terrorism is intercepted at the Jordan River and not on the outskirts of Tel Aviv. “It must be clear that in every future agreement with the Palestinians, Israel will need to retain military control in the territory up to the Jordan River for a very long time.”Israeli media didn’t pay much attention to that part of Netanyahu’s speech, as his statement on the Kurds appeared far more piquant. But Israeli right wingers who read between the lines found reason to rejoice over the prime minister’s words.“Two of Netanyahu’s assertions yesterday, when combined, are very significant,” said Dani Dayan, the chief foreign envoy of the settler movement’s Yesha Council and an advocate for a single-state solution. First, when speaking about the need for a fence, the prime minister referred to the Jordan River as Israel’s “eastern border.” Second, Dayan pointed out, Netanyahu claimed that only the Israeli army can provide security in the West Bank, and that only Israel’s presence there prevents the Palestinian Authority from collapsing.“The two combined,” Dayan asserted, “show Netanyahu does not believe the creation of a Palestinian state is possible under the current circumstances, falling just a few steps short of retracting his Bar Ilan speech.”

Liberman: Jordan's Stability 'Vital' to Israel's Security-Foreign Minister says Israel 'will do everything to maintain the stability of Jordan' following threats from ISIS takeover.By Tova Dvorin and Elad Ben-Ari-First Publish: 6/30/2014, 6:29 PM-IsraelNationalNews
The spread of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) through Iraq has not eluded the Jewish state's notice, Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman (Yisrael Beytenu) said Monday.According to Liberman, regional stability is important enough to prompt financial help from Israel to Jordan, if necessary, to prevent ISIS from reaching the Jewish state."Jordan's stability is a vital interest of the State of Israel," Liberman stated, in a meeting with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier. "Without going into details, we will do everything to maintain the stability of Jordan."
Steinmeier agreed.
"ISIS in Iraq constitutes a serious threat to the territorial integrity of Iraq and the entire region," he said. He urged that the entire international community must work so that "ISIS cannot tighten its grip [on the Middle East] and the caliphate it declared does not turn into a center for terror and violence." "We have seen from clashes in the Golan Heights how events in the region can affect the security of Israel," Steinmeier continued. "We must ensure that a solution is found for the internal problems in Iraq, and establish a government that will represent proportionally all communities and factions to detract support for ISIS from the Sunni population." On Sunday, former National Security Council director Yaakov Amidror warned against ISIS moving in on Jordan and posing a threat to Israel, adding that if Jordan requested Israeli assistance in preventing its border with Iraq from being overrun by ISIS, Israel would have little choice but to help.ISIS on Sunday declared it had established a "caliphate", or Islamist state, straddling Iraq and Syria.The jihadists said the state would spread from Aleppo in northern Syria to Diyala in eastern Iraq, and ordered Muslims in those areas to pay allegiance to the group.In Syria, ISIS fighters already control large swathes of territory in Deir Ezzor near the Iraq border, in Raqa in the north, as well as parts of neighboring Aleppo province.In Iraq, they have spearheaded a lightning offensive, capturing sizable territories in the north and west of the conflict-torn country.Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu also voiced concern over "the powerful wave triggered by ISIS, which could reach Jordan in a very short time" Sunday, in a speech calling for independence for Kurdish Pashmerga forces fighting the terrorist group. "We must be able to stop the terrorism and fundamentalism that can reach us from the east at the Jordan line and not in the suburbs of Tel Aviv," he added.
Netanyahu’s commitment to 2 states seems shakier than ever-With speech cementing Jordan River as Israel’s border and ignoring calls for unilateral withdrawal, PM gives annexationists cause for hopeBy Raphael Ahren June 30, 2014, 5:31 pm-The Times of Israel
On Sunday night, at a high-profile conference, Benjamin Netanyahu delivered what was essentially his “Bar-Ilan 3″ speech – a foreign policy address that outlined his government’s policy regarding the conflict with the Palestinians. But while other speakers at the conference put forth new ideas on how to break the impasse in the peace process, the prime minister, despite stating his commitment to a two-state solution, announced a set of policies that would make such a solution even harder to achieve.The conference, held by the Institute for National Security Studies and titled “In the Absence of Progress toward a Final Status Agreement: Options for Israel,” was the ideal venue for Netanyahu to lay down a new vision for the future now that the US-brokered peace talks have collapsed and a Palestinian unity government has been established. He utilized it to announce the construction of a security fence on Israel’s border with Jordan, and to insist that the IDF must maintain overall security responsibility for the entire West Bank in the foreseeable future. Rather than explaining how he intends to implement his first Bar-Ilan speech of 2009, in which he envisaged the creation of a Palestinian state, he fueled the right wing’s hopes that there will never be a Palestinian state between the river and the sea.Before Netanyahu took the podium at the prestigious think thank in Tel Aviv, its director, retired general Amos Yadlin, a former military intelligence chief, laid out his Plan B, to be implemented in the likely scenario that Israeli and Palestinian leaders fail to bridge their gaps and sign a peace agreement. He called for Israeli “redeployment” — in other words, a unilateral withdrawal from most of the West Bank that could facilitate, if not the end of the conflict, at least a two-state reality that would forestall the binational state scenario.If Jerusalem finds that it has no Palestinian partner with which to sign an accord, “Israel will initiate a long-term program to independently draw Israel’s borders in coordination with its allies,” Yadlin suggested. “This program will signal the state’s willingness to relinquish sovereignty over 80 to 90 percent of the West Bank, a willingness that will be also be exercised on the ground.” Israel’s new borders would be based on the security fence in the West Bank, but the Jordan Valley and the entire city of Jerusalem should remain under Israeli sovereignty, Yadlin recommended.“Israel needs to have an alternative plan, because we don’t want to remain with the status quo,” Yadlin continued. He didn’t fear the current state of affairs in Israel and the West Bank as much as others in the international community did, he clarified. But, he cautioned, “if managed unwisely,” the status quo will harm Israel in the long run, causing delegitimization, boycotts, economic woes and eventually a one-state solution that would spell the end to Israel’s Jewish and democratic character.“As we’ve always done in the history of Zionism, we need to take the initiative, to move on to a proactive policy, to stop buying time and to start enacting a policy that will benefit us,” Yadlin said. An Israeli “redeployment” would be no gift to the Palestinians, the veteran military analyst asserted, but would ultimately serve Israel’s interest.To be sure, the idea that Israelis need to take their destiny in their own hands and unilaterally withdraw from large parts of the West Bank has been gaining traction for months now. It has many supporters, including former close advisers to Netanyahu such as Yoaz Hendel and Michael Oren.Yadlin himself has spoken about his Plan B several times in the past, yet never in quite so prominent a venue: a half-day conference keynoted by the prime minister. In between Yadlin’s presentation and Netanyahu’s speech, a panel comprising prominent Israeli lawmakers from various parties discussed a possible Israeli withdrawal, and alternatives to it, wondering whether the prime minister would pick up the gauntlet and offer something new on the future of Israeli-Palestinian relations.But Yadlin and others who hoped that Netanyahu would agree that Israel needs to proactively shape its own borders were disappointed. The prime minister spoke for 25 minutes, and delivered headlines by calling for an independent Kurdistan, but there was nary a word about how Israel could draw closer to implementing the two-state solution he himself has in the past endorsed as a key policy point.Declaring that “the forces of fanatical Islam” — in the form of Sunni ISIL militants in Iraq and Syria, as well as Iran — “are already knocking on our door,” the prime minister called for the construction of “a security fence on our eastern border, and to build it gradually all the way from Eilat to merge with the security fence that we’ve been building over the last two years in the Golan Heights.”Such a plan implicitly suggests that the Jordan River would become Israel’s eastern border, and it leaves little room for an independent Palestine, a senior Israeli official acknowledged in a private conversation. Whether intended or not, erecting a border fence always signals a state’s intention to draw a final border, the official said. It certainly won’t bring Israel closer to a negotiated two-state solution, since the Palestinians have insisted that even if short-term security arrangements keep the Jordan Valley out of their hands for a limited time, they eventually expect to be granted control of the border with Jordan.Another senior government official, however, rejected this assessment. “The political border between us and the Palestinians will be determined in the negotiating room. But what the prime minister made clear last night is that Israel’s will have a security presence on the Jordan River,” the official said. Jerusalem’s plans to construct the fence along Israel’s border with the Hashemite kingdom are nothing new and were discussed with the Americans during the recently halted peace talks, the official added.During his speech Sunday, Netanyahu interpreted his seminal first Bar Ilan speech, in which he agreed, in principle, to a demilitarized Palestinian state that recognized Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people. (He gave a second Bar Ilan speech last October.) ‘Netanyahu does not believe in the creation of a Palestinian state under the current circumstances’“What does ‘demilitarized’ mean?” he asked Sunday. Answering his own question, he said that “in light of what’s happening in our surroundings,” only Israel can be responsible for security in the entire West Bank, to make sure terrorism is intercepted at the Jordan River and not on the outskirts of Tel Aviv. “It must be clear that in every future agreement with the Palestinians, Israel will need to retain military control in the territory up to the Jordan River for a very long time.”Israeli media didn’t pay much attention to that part of Netanyahu’s speech, as his statement on the Kurds appeared far more piquant. But Israeli right wingers who read between the lines found reason to rejoice over the prime minister’s words.“Two of Netanyahu’s assertions yesterday, when combined, are very significant,” said Dani Dayan, the chief foreign envoy of the settler movement’s Yesha Council and an advocate for a single-state solution. First, when speaking about the need for a fence, the prime minister referred to the Jordan River as Israel’s “eastern border.” Second, Dayan pointed out, Netanyahu claimed that only the Israeli army can provide security in the West Bank, and that only Israel’s presence there prevents the Palestinian Authority from collapsing.“The two combined,” Dayan asserted, “show Netanyahu does not believe the creation of a Palestinian state is possible under the current circumstances, falling just a few steps short of retracting his Bar Ilan speech.”
