Israeli generals said among 1,600 global targets of Iran cyber-attack-Cyber-defense expert Gil Shwed says a quarter of recipients opened emails and thus unknowingly enabled hackers to steal information from their hard drives-By Times of Israel staff January 28, 2016, 6:40 pm
Iran launched a cyber-attack targeting Israeli army generals, human rights activists in the Persian Gulf and scientists, an Israeli cyber-security firm said Thursday.Gil Shwed, CEO of Check Point Software Technologies, said the attack began two months ago and was directed at some 1,600 people worldwide. They received email messages aimed at sending spyware into their computers, Shwed told Israel Radio.More than a quarter of the recipients opened the emails and thus unknowingly downloaded spyware, allowing the hackers to steal information from their hard drives.Over the last two years, Israel has been targeted by a number of cyber-attacks. Officials say hackers affiliated with Hezbollah and the Iranian government were behind some of the infiltration attempts.On Tuesday, Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz revealed that Israel’s Electric Authority was being targeted by a “severe cyber-attack,” although he did not say where it was coming from.In June, the Israeli ClearSky cyber-security company said it had discovered an ongoing wave of cyber attacks originating from Iran on targets in Israel and the Middle East, with Israeli generals again among the targets. The goal is “espionage or other nation-state interests,” the firm said. The hackers use techniques such as targeted phishing — in which hackers gather user identification data using false web pages that look like real and reputable ones — to hack into 40 targets in Israel and 500 worldwide, said ClearSky. In Israel the targets have included retired generals, employees of security consulting firms and researchers in academia.Shwed warned Thursday that the pace of cyber-attacks is accelerating faster than the pace of investment in cyber safety, the Calcalist newspaper reported.Israel is second only to the United States in cyber-security technology, according to Gadi Tirosh, managing partner at Jerusalem Venture Partners, which has been one of the country’s most active investors in the field.There are currently 173 companies in Israel big enough to be backed by venture capital companies and other major investors. That does not include the hundreds of others that are bootstrapped or relying on other sources of funds; altogether, there are 430 cyber companies currently operating in Israel, according to a report released earlier this month by the Israel Venture Capital (IVC) Research Center, with an average of 52 new cyber startups established annually since 2000.
Netanyahu: Islamists use cyber-tech to ‘push humanity backwards’-Israel is the modern cyber-bulwark against groups that are medieval in outlook but modern in their methods, says the prime minister-By David Shamah January 26, 2016, 5:40 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
Cyber-security isn’t just about keeping hacktivists and hacker criminals at bay, according to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In remarks at the third annual Cybertech Conference Tuesday, Netanyahu lauded Israel’s cyber-security prowess as a bulwark against “the forces of medievalism.”Those medievalists, the prime minister noted, “are led by the two forces of the militant Islam, those led by Iran on the extreme Shiite Muslim side and those led by Islamic State on the extreme Sunni Muslim side.”But although medieval in philosophy, the Islamists on both sides are quite modern in their methods. “These militants are using the technologies that we use,” he said. Israel, he added, needs to be the counterbalance to that – a tech superpower that uses technology to advance humanity, not push it backwards.Learning how Israel does that, as well as how it defends individuals, companies, and governments from more run of the mill cyber-threats like hackers who steal credit card information or breach databases, brought over 3,000 people to Cybertech 2016, an annual event organized by IsraelDefense magazine and academic, corporate, and government sponsors.The event brings together leading multi-national corporations, start-ups, major Israeli companies, investors, entrepreneurs, and a bevy of speakers who discuss cyber-tech in all its aspects – technical, financial, national defense-oriented, and more. Among the speakers appearing along with Netanyahu are Minister of National Infrastructure, Energy and Water Yuval Steinitz; Science Minister Ofir Akunis, and MK Erel Margalit, who heads the Cyber-Security Lobby in the Knesset, along with ministers, governors, mayors, and other government officials from around the world, as well as executives from multi-national firms like Intel, Microsoft, IBM, and many others.Already accounting for 10 percent of the sales in the world cyber-security business, Israel has become a world power in the area – but there’s no reason it cannot go further, Netanyahu said. At the first cybertech conference in 2014, Netanyahu set a goal for Israel to become “one of the five leading cyber powers in the world. We have achieved that, but we should strive to be the first.”Although the focus was on Israel’s accomplishments in cyber-business, Netanyahu stressed the need for global cooperation. “There is a critical need for like-minded governments to have serious discussions about cooperation in the broader international realm,” he said.“I do not seek to have a universal code, because it will work for cyber peacekeeping just like the UN works for international peacekeeping — it doesn’t. What we need is a meeting of international leaders to discuss what could be done among countries that want to maintain freedom and safety in their societies. We will then be able to establish international standards that will increase cyber-security. This is something that has yet to be done, but I’ve been speaking about this with world leaders.”And the sooner the better, Netanyahu said – because beyond the usual annoyances and threats posed by run-of-the-mill hackers, the world now has to contend with medieval Islamist fanatics who have gone to some of the world’s best universities and are using the ultra-modern skills learned there to bring the world back to the dark ages.“We have the possibility of what appears to be almost a limitless future. Yet at the same time we are facing another force that challenges modernity, and that force is a savage, early, and primitive medievalism that seeks to take our world back to the dark ages of humanity, over a thousand years ago,” said Netanyahu. “This is one of those few times in history in which the forces that seem to take humanity back are using some of the forces that take humanity forward. And this presents a greater challenge to us. Israel is at the forefront of modernity.”
Steinitz: Israel’s Electric Authority hit by ‘severe’ cyber-attack-Some computers shut down since Monday, says energy minister; ministry and cyber authority ‘handling it,’ but problem not yet solved-By Times of Israel staff January 26, 2016, 10:05 pm
Israel’s Electric Authority is currently being targeted by a “severe cyber-attack,” Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz said Tuesday, adding that steps are being taken to counter the assault.Addressing the Cybertech Conference in Tel Aviv, Steinitz said the attack was discovered on Monday, and that his ministry was “already handling it,” along with the Israel National Cyber Bureau.“The virus was already identified and the right software was already prepared to neutralize it,” he said. “We had to paralyze many of the computers of the Israeli Electricity Authority. We are handling the situation and I hope that soon, this very serious event will be over … but as of now, computer systems are still not working as they should.”“This is a fresh example of the sensitivity of infrastructure to cyberattacks, and the importance of preparing ourselves in order to defend ourselves against such attacks,” he said.Steinitz did not say whether Israel has identified any suspects behind the attack.The Electricity Authority is a department in the Ministry of Energy, and is a separate entity to the Israel Electric Corporation, the country’s state-owned utility company.In mid-July, the Israel’s National Cyber Authority warned that the country would be targeted by a massive cyberattack.Government ministries and security agencies were alerted to look for any changes in their computer systems, and security officials were instructed to prepare for “any possible scenario,” the Israeli daily Haaretz reported.The warning went into effect immediately and included computer systems and cellular phones, according to the report.Over the last two years, Israel has been targeted by a number of cyberattacks. Officials estimated hackers affiliated with Hezbollah and the Iranian government were behind the infiltration attempts.In April, members of the Anonymous hacking group defaced dozens of Israeli websites in what it warned would be an “electronic holocaust.” Dubbed OpIsrael, the anti-Israel hackers targeted websites of the Israeli government and organizations, Facebook pages and gained access to personal emails. The annual attacks have thus far not caused disruption of Internet services in Israel, and failed to bring down any major governmental websites.In response, Israel has invested resources to streamline its offensive and defensive cyber capabilities, and announced last month the establishment of a new IDF corps responsible for all such cyber activity.Israel has also become a center of cybersecurity research and development, with multinationals from the US, Europe and Asia setting up R&D labs to develop better and more effective cyberdefense strategies and technologies.Israeli cybersecurity firms are said to export $3 billion in knowledge, services and solutions each year, developing many of the technologies the world will need in the coming years to protect banks, infrastructure and government servers.
Israeli bulldozers demolish EU-funded buildings By Andrew Rettman-EUOBSERVER-FEB 3,16
BRUSSELS, Today, 09:24-Israeli bulldozers have demolished more than 20 Palestinian buildings in the West Bank, including EU-funded structures, amid mounting European frustration on the peace process.B’Tselem, an Israeli NGO, said the bulldozers arrived early on Tuesday (2 February) in the villages of Jinba and Halawa, making some 110 people, including 60 children, homeless in one of the coldest months of the year.Israeli media report that children were seen digging in rubble for their toys after the operation.Ten of the structures had been funded by the European Commission. Others were co-funded by Denmark and the UK as part of UN programmes.The villages date back to the 19th century. But Israel designated the area as a military firing range in the 1970s and said the villagers must go, prompting a long legal battle.-EU 'expects protection'-Cogat, the Israeli authority which controls most of the occupied land, said "measures were taken in accordance with the law”.Ten more villages, home to about 1,000 people, also face demolition pending a temporary court injunction.Breaking The Silence, another Israeli NGO, said Tuesday’s operation was the largest of its kind in a decade.It believes the measures are designed to force Palestinian Bedouin to move to Yatta, a nearby town, so that Israeli settlers can carve off a chunk of land adjacent to the old 1967 border.More than half a million Jewish settlers have moved to the West Bank over the past 50 years, a number now growing by 16,000 a year.The demolitions and settlement expansions put in doubt the viability of a future Palestinian state, the EU and US say.“The EU expects its investments in support of the Palestinian people to be protected from damage and destruction,” an EU spokesman told the French press agency AFP on Tuesday.EU states last month threatened “action” against settlers, following the publication last year of a code on labelling settler-made food, wine, and cosmetics in European shops.-French deadline-France last week went further.Laurent Fabius, its foreign minister, told a meeting of French diplomats on Friday he aimed to convene a high-level conference to try to restart Arab-Israeli peace talks.He indicated that if it fails, he'll set a deadline after which France will formally recognise Palestinian statehood.“Unfortunately, Israeli settlement construction continues. We must not let the two-state solution unravel. It is our responsibility as a permanent member of the UN security council,” he said.Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas welcomed the initiative.But Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said it was “an incentive for the Palestinians to … not make any compromises".
Herzog presents Kerry with West Bank disengagement plan-Opposition leader says separation from Palestinians only way forward; Kerry said to respond positively to unreleased proposal-By Ari Solomon February 3, 2016, 7:14 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
Opposition leader Isaac Herzog presented US Secretary of State John Kerry with a plan for an Israeli pullout from the West Bank, telling him that separation is the only way forward with the Palestinians.Meeting in Rome for the fourth time in six months, Herzog also suggested convening a regional security conference in cooperation with Arab nations before the end of US President Barack Obama’s term next year.“Israels are killed in the streets and the world advances surreal initiatives and boycotts. Disengagement is the only path to advance a two-state solution,” Herzog said, according to a statement from his office.Herzog, head of the dovish Zionist Union faction, did not release details of his disengagement plan to the public.Kerry expressed interest in the plan and said it contained elements similar to his own initiative of advancing security and cooperation in the Middle East, according to the statement.There was no official statement after the meeting from the State Department or Kerry.The US has largely put efforts to broker an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal on the backburner since talks broke down in 2014. US officials have indicated that the White House does not intend to make the issue a priority while Obama remains in office.But Herzog pointed to near daily violence wracking the country as a reason to not put off efforts to leave the West Bank on hold.“Our citizens are being murdered and we must carry out a separation that will lead to a two-state solution,” he said.
EU: €155m in R&D deals proves there’s no boycott of Israel-Lars Faaborg-Andersen tells business officials that the European Union wants to work with Israel to be more competitive-By David Shamah February 3, 2016, 7:36 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
Whatever individuals or groups in Europe do, the European Union does not boycott Israel, EU ambassador to Israel Lars Faaborg-Andersen said this week in Tel Aviv in a meeting with the head of the Federation of the Israeli Chambers of Commerce.“Our wide-ranging economic cooperation is thriving and remains very strong. It is possible that our economic ties with Israel are stronger than they are with any other non-EU country,” Faaborg-Andersen told Federation president Uriel Lynn Tuesday.According to Faaborg-Andersen’s office, Israel has signed no fewer than 240 agreements with the EU as part of the Horizon 2020 research and development program, with grants to Israeli start-ups and research groups worth up to €155 million euros ($170 million). In its previous R&D project, FP7, Israeli companies got NIS 1.6 for every shekel invested, his spokesperson added.Israel has provided the EU with top-notch technology in a wide range of areas, Faaborg-Andersen said, and now it’s the turn of the EU to reciprocate by helping to reduce the cost of living for Israelis.Competition from imports can be a key element to reducing the cost of living,” said Faaborg-Andersen, and the EU is ready to help – with advice, economic programs, and, of course, lower-cost goods that could help Israelis to more easily make ends meet.Recent studies by the OECD have shown that the standard of living in Israel is lower than in Europe, and that is a problem that can be resolved by the Israeli government allowing the free import of more basic goods, such as food and consumer products.During the meeting with Lynn, whose organization represents over 5,000 Israeli businesses and organizations operating in more than 120 industries, Faaborg-Andersen stressed that the EU does not boycott Israel.“The EU simply does not consider the West Bank to be part of Israel, so the economic benefits that Israel enjoys from its relationship with Europe do not apply there,” said a spokesperson for the Federation of the Israeli Chambers of Commerce. “Just the opposite – the ambassador was very clear that Europe does a lot of business with Israel, and wants to do more.”Israel should “reconsider its many regulations that prevent foreign service providers from working in Israel,” said Faaborg-Andersen, and that the EU is ready to help Israel develop a more competitive economy.Lynn praised the ambassador’s stance, saying that he, too, saw the benefit it removing duties and other charges on foreign products and services, especially on food and agricultural products.Israel and the EU could, he added, do great things together – and that process could be advanced even further if “Europe would just disconnect politics from the economy, and not use economic policy as a tool to achieve political purposes.”

Presbyterian group promotes two-state solution in pamphlet-Grassroots ‘Presbyterians for Middle East Peace’ aims to counter growing anti-Israel activity in church-By JTA February 3, 2016, 6:43 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
A Presbyterian Middle East advocacy group published a pamphlet aimed at stopping the church from abandoning support for the two-state solution.“Two States for Two Peoples,” released this week, comes “as activists from the global Boycott, Divest and Sanctions (BDS) movement are working toward persuading the Presbyterian Church, USA. to drop its support for the two-state solution when the denomination holds its biennial meeting in Portland, Oregon, in June,” Presbyterians for Middle East Peace said in announcing the book.The grassroots group was established in the late 2000s to preserve the church’s commitment to the two-state solution in the face of growing anti-Israel activity in the church.Jewish groups specializing in interfaith dialogue, led by the Jewish Council on Public Affairs, worked with Presbyterians for Middle East Peace at the church’s 2012 biennial to successfully deflect a bid to divest the church from three companies that dealt with Israel’s army.Backers of divestment, however, succeeded in 2014 in getting the church to divest from the three companies, although an amendment to the resolution explicitly rejected BDS, which advances a much broader divestment strategy.The 2014 debate was characterized by unusual bitterness, precipitated in part by the publication of an anti-Zionist tract by a group within the church that backs divestment.

Iran, Germany call for cooperation against terrorism-German foreign minister visits Tehran, heads next to Saudi Arabia-By AFP February 3, 2016, 6:29 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
TEHRAN — Iran and Germany agreed on the need to cooperate against “terrorism” Wednesday as Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier became the latest official to visit Tehran since the implementation of a landmark nuclear deal.Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani said the two countries could “cooperate on resolving regional and international issues, especially on fighting terrorism,” the official IRNA news agency reported.“The flow of arms and financial resources to terrorism must be stopped,” Rouhani said.Steinmeier’s visit comes after a landmark deal between Tehran and world powers to limit Iran’s nuclear program in return for lifting international sanctions against it came into force last month.The German foreign minister will next visit Saudi Arabia.The Gulf kingdom severed all ties with Iran last month after demonstrators stormed its embassy in Tehran and consulate in second city Mashhad following Riyadh’s execution of a prominent Saudi Shiite cleric.
Damascus Gate killers planned to attack group of civilians, police believe-One of the Palestinan gunmen had posted on Facebook that he intended to carry out a shooting, Channel 2 reports-By Times of Israel staff February 3, 2016, 7:28 pm
Israeli security officials said Wednesday’s fatal attack at the Damascus Gate in the Old City of Jerusalem, in which Border Police officer Hadar Cohen was killed and a second policewoman badly injured, marked “an escalation” in the ongoing terror wave.The three West Bank Palestinians who stabbed and shot at the Israeli forces had been sitting and waiting for a large group of Israeli civilians to enter or leave the Old City, and had planned to target them, Israel’s Channel 2 news reported on Wednesday evening, citing police sources.“As far as we can tell from the armaments, [the terrorists] planned a larger, more sophisticated attack,” Jerusalem Deputy Police Chief Avshalom Peled said. “This is an escalation from what we’ve seen thus far. The police officers prevented a combined and much larger attack.”Husam Badran, an official with the Hamas terror group, also called the attack “a turning point,” apparently referring to its severity and sophistication during a terror wave that has mostly consisted of lone stabbers.Two of three attackers, who hailed from the northern West Bank, were spotted by the Border Police unit and were asked to identify themselves. As one pulled out an ID card, the second pulled out a knife, and attacked the policewomen. Then the first one pulled out a rifle from under his coat and opened fire on the policewomen.At this point, the third attacker, waiting nearby, who had not previously been spotted, also began firing, Channel 2 said.Cohen, 19, who was shot in the head, managed to return fire before collapsing.The three terrorists were also found to be carrying explosive devices.The police and Shin Bet were investigating whether the trio acted alone, or had been dispatched by an established terrorist organization. They were also trying to establish whether the trio traveled with their guns and explosives, or whether accomplices helped them once they were in Jerusalem.One of three terrorists had vowed in a Facebook post to carry out a shooting attack, Channel 2 reported, ostensibly to avenge the killing of another Palestinian who attempted an attack at a border crossing in the northern West Bank last November.The TV report said all three of the attackers were members of families associated with Fatah.The three were identified by the Palestinian news agency Ma’an as Ahmad Rajeh Ismail Zakarneh, Muhammad Ahmad Hilmi Kamil and Najeh Ibrahim Abu al-Rub, all hailing from the village of Qabatiya near the West Bank city of Jenin.
Border Police officer, 19, dies after Jerusalem terror attack-Hadar Cohen of Or Yehuda succumbs to wounds in hospital, second officer in serious but stable condition; 3 Palestinian assailants killed by police after assault outside Damascus Gate-By Times of Israel staff and Judah Ari Gross February 3, 2016, 6:04 pm
A Border Police officer succumbed to wounds suffered during a shooting and stabbing attack near Jerusalem’s Old City Wednesday, after efforts to save her life at Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital Mount Scopus failed.The woman was identified as Hadar Cohen, 19, from Or Yehuda.Cohen was rushed to hospital in critical condition after she was wounded in the attack shortly after 2 p.m. local time. Paramedics who treated her at the scene said she was fighting for her life.Hospital officials said she was shot in the head. “We succeeded in stabilizing her condition for a time, but her head wound was so severe she never had a chance,” a hospital spokeswoman said.Another policewomen was in serious but stable condition at the hospital, with wounds all over her body, including her head, the spokeswoman said.The three attackers, identified by the Palestinian news agency Ma’an as Ahmed Abou Al-Roub, Mohammed Kameel and Mohammed Nassar, all hailing from the northern West Bank, arrived at the scene armed with apparently locally fabricated “Carl Gustav” rifles, knives and two pipe bombs, police said. Police initially suspected a third item found at the scene was a bomb, but sappers determined it was an abandoned bag.Border police officer, injured in the Damascus Gate attack, died of her wounds. Her name is Hadar Cohen, she was 19. pic.twitter.com/QRo2qQzdH6— Judah Ari Gross (@JudahAriGross) February 3, 2016-A third victim, identified only as a 20-year-old Israeli, was lightly wounded and treated at the scene.Cohen was drafted into the Border Police only two months ago, and was still in training as she patrolled the area outside Damascus Gate on Wednesday.Cohen is survived by her parents, a brother and a sister.Cohen was part of a three-member squad that spotted the three Palestinians behaving in a suspicious manner and asked to see their identification papers. As one attacker withdrew his ID card, the others opened fire and pulled out knives to attack the officers.According to police, Cohen managed to return fire before she was mortally wounded, despite being surprised by the attackers.After the attackers were killed by police forces who responded to the scene, police found pipe bombs on their person.“As far as we can tell from the armaments, [the terrorists] planned a larger, more sophisticated attack,” Jerusalem Deputy Police Chief Avshalom Peled said. “This is an escalation from what we’ve seen thus far. The police officers prevented a combined and much larger attack.”Magen David Adom rescue service director Eli Bin said medics who arrived on the scene attempted to resuscitate Cohen. He told Channel 2 that she had been stabbed in the neck multiple times and had lost a lot of blood.“When we arrived at the scene we saw two young women, approximately 20 years old, lying on the ground with puncture wounds to the upper body. One was unconscious, the other was still conscious but dazed,” MDA paramedic Nissan Hefetz said.Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat visited the scene shortly after the attack.“I had a chance to speak to our brave warriors, who were not afraid to engage” the terrorists, he said at the scene. “This was a real battle. In this battle, the police and Border Police officers of Jerusalem prevented a much larger disaster. Their readiness allowed them to [quickly] engage [the attackers] and save lives. The public in Jerusalem must keep their eyes open, and not hesitate to engage [attackers]. That readiness will prevent attacks.”Two of the attackers were from Qabatiya in the northern West Bank, and the third was from nearby Jenin. Police said they were all 20-21 years old.According to the Shin Bet, they had no prior involvement in terror activities.In a statement Wednesday, Hamas congratulated the “unique and heroic operation,” describing it as a “blow to the security system of the occupation.”Avi Issacharoff and Marissa Newman contributed to this report.

Israeli generals said among 1,600 global targets of Iran cyber-attack-Cyber-defense expert Gil Shwed says a quarter of recipients opened emails and thus unknowingly enabled hackers to steal information from their hard drives-By Times of Israel staff January 28, 2016, 6:40 pm
Iran launched a cyber-attack targeting Israeli army generals, human rights activists in the Persian Gulf and scientists, an Israeli cyber-security firm said Thursday.Gil Shwed, CEO of Check Point Software Technologies, said the attack began two months ago and was directed at some 1,600 people worldwide. They received email messages aimed at sending spyware into their computers, Shwed told Israel Radio.More than a quarter of the recipients opened the emails and thus unknowingly downloaded spyware, allowing the hackers to steal information from their hard drives.Over the last two years, Israel has been targeted by a number of cyber-attacks. Officials say hackers affiliated with Hezbollah and the Iranian government were behind some of the infiltration attempts.On Tuesday, Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz revealed that Israel’s Electric Authority was being targeted by a “severe cyber-attack,” although he did not say where it was coming from.In June, the Israeli ClearSky cyber-security company said it had discovered an ongoing wave of cyber attacks originating from Iran on targets in Israel and the Middle East, with Israeli generals again among the targets. The goal is “espionage or other nation-state interests,” the firm said. The hackers use techniques such as targeted phishing — in which hackers gather user identification data using false web pages that look like real and reputable ones — to hack into 40 targets in Israel and 500 worldwide, said ClearSky. In Israel the targets have included retired generals, employees of security consulting firms and researchers in academia.Shwed warned Thursday that the pace of cyber-attacks is accelerating faster than the pace of investment in cyber safety, the Calcalist newspaper reported.Israel is second only to the United States in cyber-security technology, according to Gadi Tirosh, managing partner at Jerusalem Venture Partners, which has been one of the country’s most active investors in the field.There are currently 173 companies in Israel big enough to be backed by venture capital companies and other major investors. That does not include the hundreds of others that are bootstrapped or relying on other sources of funds; altogether, there are 430 cyber companies currently operating in Israel, according to a report released earlier this month by the Israel Venture Capital (IVC) Research Center, with an average of 52 new cyber startups established annually since 2000.
Netanyahu: Islamists use cyber-tech to ‘push humanity backwards’-Israel is the modern cyber-bulwark against groups that are medieval in outlook but modern in their methods, says the prime minister-By David Shamah January 26, 2016, 5:40 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
Cyber-security isn’t just about keeping hacktivists and hacker criminals at bay, according to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In remarks at the third annual Cybertech Conference Tuesday, Netanyahu lauded Israel’s cyber-security prowess as a bulwark against “the forces of medievalism.”Those medievalists, the prime minister noted, “are led by the two forces of the militant Islam, those led by Iran on the extreme Shiite Muslim side and those led by Islamic State on the extreme Sunni Muslim side.”But although medieval in philosophy, the Islamists on both sides are quite modern in their methods. “These militants are using the technologies that we use,” he said. Israel, he added, needs to be the counterbalance to that – a tech superpower that uses technology to advance humanity, not push it backwards.Learning how Israel does that, as well as how it defends individuals, companies, and governments from more run of the mill cyber-threats like hackers who steal credit card information or breach databases, brought over 3,000 people to Cybertech 2016, an annual event organized by IsraelDefense magazine and academic, corporate, and government sponsors.The event brings together leading multi-national corporations, start-ups, major Israeli companies, investors, entrepreneurs, and a bevy of speakers who discuss cyber-tech in all its aspects – technical, financial, national defense-oriented, and more. Among the speakers appearing along with Netanyahu are Minister of National Infrastructure, Energy and Water Yuval Steinitz; Science Minister Ofir Akunis, and MK Erel Margalit, who heads the Cyber-Security Lobby in the Knesset, along with ministers, governors, mayors, and other government officials from around the world, as well as executives from multi-national firms like Intel, Microsoft, IBM, and many others.Already accounting for 10 percent of the sales in the world cyber-security business, Israel has become a world power in the area – but there’s no reason it cannot go further, Netanyahu said. At the first cybertech conference in 2014, Netanyahu set a goal for Israel to become “one of the five leading cyber powers in the world. We have achieved that, but we should strive to be the first.”Although the focus was on Israel’s accomplishments in cyber-business, Netanyahu stressed the need for global cooperation. “There is a critical need for like-minded governments to have serious discussions about cooperation in the broader international realm,” he said.“I do not seek to have a universal code, because it will work for cyber peacekeeping just like the UN works for international peacekeeping — it doesn’t. What we need is a meeting of international leaders to discuss what could be done among countries that want to maintain freedom and safety in their societies. We will then be able to establish international standards that will increase cyber-security. This is something that has yet to be done, but I’ve been speaking about this with world leaders.”And the sooner the better, Netanyahu said – because beyond the usual annoyances and threats posed by run-of-the-mill hackers, the world now has to contend with medieval Islamist fanatics who have gone to some of the world’s best universities and are using the ultra-modern skills learned there to bring the world back to the dark ages.“We have the possibility of what appears to be almost a limitless future. Yet at the same time we are facing another force that challenges modernity, and that force is a savage, early, and primitive medievalism that seeks to take our world back to the dark ages of humanity, over a thousand years ago,” said Netanyahu. “This is one of those few times in history in which the forces that seem to take humanity back are using some of the forces that take humanity forward. And this presents a greater challenge to us. Israel is at the forefront of modernity.”
Steinitz: Israel’s Electric Authority hit by ‘severe’ cyber-attack-Some computers shut down since Monday, says energy minister; ministry and cyber authority ‘handling it,’ but problem not yet solved-By Times of Israel staff January 26, 2016, 10:05 pm
Israel’s Electric Authority is currently being targeted by a “severe cyber-attack,” Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz said Tuesday, adding that steps are being taken to counter the assault.Addressing the Cybertech Conference in Tel Aviv, Steinitz said the attack was discovered on Monday, and that his ministry was “already handling it,” along with the Israel National Cyber Bureau.“The virus was already identified and the right software was already prepared to neutralize it,” he said. “We had to paralyze many of the computers of the Israeli Electricity Authority. We are handling the situation and I hope that soon, this very serious event will be over … but as of now, computer systems are still not working as they should.”“This is a fresh example of the sensitivity of infrastructure to cyberattacks, and the importance of preparing ourselves in order to defend ourselves against such attacks,” he said.Steinitz did not say whether Israel has identified any suspects behind the attack.The Electricity Authority is a department in the Ministry of Energy, and is a separate entity to the Israel Electric Corporation, the country’s state-owned utility company.In mid-July, the Israel’s National Cyber Authority warned that the country would be targeted by a massive cyberattack.Government ministries and security agencies were alerted to look for any changes in their computer systems, and security officials were instructed to prepare for “any possible scenario,” the Israeli daily Haaretz reported.The warning went into effect immediately and included computer systems and cellular phones, according to the report.Over the last two years, Israel has been targeted by a number of cyberattacks. Officials estimated hackers affiliated with Hezbollah and the Iranian government were behind the infiltration attempts.In April, members of the Anonymous hacking group defaced dozens of Israeli websites in what it warned would be an “electronic holocaust.” Dubbed OpIsrael, the anti-Israel hackers targeted websites of the Israeli government and organizations, Facebook pages and gained access to personal emails. The annual attacks have thus far not caused disruption of Internet services in Israel, and failed to bring down any major governmental websites.In response, Israel has invested resources to streamline its offensive and defensive cyber capabilities, and announced last month the establishment of a new IDF corps responsible for all such cyber activity.Israel has also become a center of cybersecurity research and development, with multinationals from the US, Europe and Asia setting up R&D labs to develop better and more effective cyberdefense strategies and technologies.Israeli cybersecurity firms are said to export $3 billion in knowledge, services and solutions each year, developing many of the technologies the world will need in the coming years to protect banks, infrastructure and government servers.
Israeli bulldozers demolish EU-funded buildings By Andrew Rettman-EUOBSERVER-FEB 3,16
BRUSSELS, Today, 09:24-Israeli bulldozers have demolished more than 20 Palestinian buildings in the West Bank, including EU-funded structures, amid mounting European frustration on the peace process.B’Tselem, an Israeli NGO, said the bulldozers arrived early on Tuesday (2 February) in the villages of Jinba and Halawa, making some 110 people, including 60 children, homeless in one of the coldest months of the year.Israeli media report that children were seen digging in rubble for their toys after the operation.Ten of the structures had been funded by the European Commission. Others were co-funded by Denmark and the UK as part of UN programmes.The villages date back to the 19th century. But Israel designated the area as a military firing range in the 1970s and said the villagers must go, prompting a long legal battle.-EU 'expects protection'-Cogat, the Israeli authority which controls most of the occupied land, said "measures were taken in accordance with the law”.Ten more villages, home to about 1,000 people, also face demolition pending a temporary court injunction.Breaking The Silence, another Israeli NGO, said Tuesday’s operation was the largest of its kind in a decade.It believes the measures are designed to force Palestinian Bedouin to move to Yatta, a nearby town, so that Israeli settlers can carve off a chunk of land adjacent to the old 1967 border.More than half a million Jewish settlers have moved to the West Bank over the past 50 years, a number now growing by 16,000 a year.The demolitions and settlement expansions put in doubt the viability of a future Palestinian state, the EU and US say.“The EU expects its investments in support of the Palestinian people to be protected from damage and destruction,” an EU spokesman told the French press agency AFP on Tuesday.EU states last month threatened “action” against settlers, following the publication last year of a code on labelling settler-made food, wine, and cosmetics in European shops.-French deadline-France last week went further.Laurent Fabius, its foreign minister, told a meeting of French diplomats on Friday he aimed to convene a high-level conference to try to restart Arab-Israeli peace talks.He indicated that if it fails, he'll set a deadline after which France will formally recognise Palestinian statehood.“Unfortunately, Israeli settlement construction continues. We must not let the two-state solution unravel. It is our responsibility as a permanent member of the UN security council,” he said.Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas welcomed the initiative.But Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said it was “an incentive for the Palestinians to … not make any compromises".
Herzog presents Kerry with West Bank disengagement plan-Opposition leader says separation from Palestinians only way forward; Kerry said to respond positively to unreleased proposal-By Ari Solomon February 3, 2016, 7:14 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
Opposition leader Isaac Herzog presented US Secretary of State John Kerry with a plan for an Israeli pullout from the West Bank, telling him that separation is the only way forward with the Palestinians.Meeting in Rome for the fourth time in six months, Herzog also suggested convening a regional security conference in cooperation with Arab nations before the end of US President Barack Obama’s term next year.“Israels are killed in the streets and the world advances surreal initiatives and boycotts. Disengagement is the only path to advance a two-state solution,” Herzog said, according to a statement from his office.Herzog, head of the dovish Zionist Union faction, did not release details of his disengagement plan to the public.Kerry expressed interest in the plan and said it contained elements similar to his own initiative of advancing security and cooperation in the Middle East, according to the statement.There was no official statement after the meeting from the State Department or Kerry.The US has largely put efforts to broker an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal on the backburner since talks broke down in 2014. US officials have indicated that the White House does not intend to make the issue a priority while Obama remains in office.But Herzog pointed to near daily violence wracking the country as a reason to not put off efforts to leave the West Bank on hold.“Our citizens are being murdered and we must carry out a separation that will lead to a two-state solution,” he said.
EU: €155m in R&D deals proves there’s no boycott of Israel-Lars Faaborg-Andersen tells business officials that the European Union wants to work with Israel to be more competitive-By David Shamah February 3, 2016, 7:36 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
Whatever individuals or groups in Europe do, the European Union does not boycott Israel, EU ambassador to Israel Lars Faaborg-Andersen said this week in Tel Aviv in a meeting with the head of the Federation of the Israeli Chambers of Commerce.“Our wide-ranging economic cooperation is thriving and remains very strong. It is possible that our economic ties with Israel are stronger than they are with any other non-EU country,” Faaborg-Andersen told Federation president Uriel Lynn Tuesday.According to Faaborg-Andersen’s office, Israel has signed no fewer than 240 agreements with the EU as part of the Horizon 2020 research and development program, with grants to Israeli start-ups and research groups worth up to €155 million euros ($170 million). In its previous R&D project, FP7, Israeli companies got NIS 1.6 for every shekel invested, his spokesperson added.Israel has provided the EU with top-notch technology in a wide range of areas, Faaborg-Andersen said, and now it’s the turn of the EU to reciprocate by helping to reduce the cost of living for Israelis.Competition from imports can be a key element to reducing the cost of living,” said Faaborg-Andersen, and the EU is ready to help – with advice, economic programs, and, of course, lower-cost goods that could help Israelis to more easily make ends meet.Recent studies by the OECD have shown that the standard of living in Israel is lower than in Europe, and that is a problem that can be resolved by the Israeli government allowing the free import of more basic goods, such as food and consumer products.During the meeting with Lynn, whose organization represents over 5,000 Israeli businesses and organizations operating in more than 120 industries, Faaborg-Andersen stressed that the EU does not boycott Israel.“The EU simply does not consider the West Bank to be part of Israel, so the economic benefits that Israel enjoys from its relationship with Europe do not apply there,” said a spokesperson for the Federation of the Israeli Chambers of Commerce. “Just the opposite – the ambassador was very clear that Europe does a lot of business with Israel, and wants to do more.”Israel should “reconsider its many regulations that prevent foreign service providers from working in Israel,” said Faaborg-Andersen, and that the EU is ready to help Israel develop a more competitive economy.Lynn praised the ambassador’s stance, saying that he, too, saw the benefit it removing duties and other charges on foreign products and services, especially on food and agricultural products.Israel and the EU could, he added, do great things together – and that process could be advanced even further if “Europe would just disconnect politics from the economy, and not use economic policy as a tool to achieve political purposes.”

Presbyterian group promotes two-state solution in pamphlet-Grassroots ‘Presbyterians for Middle East Peace’ aims to counter growing anti-Israel activity in church-By JTA February 3, 2016, 6:43 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
A Presbyterian Middle East advocacy group published a pamphlet aimed at stopping the church from abandoning support for the two-state solution.“Two States for Two Peoples,” released this week, comes “as activists from the global Boycott, Divest and Sanctions (BDS) movement are working toward persuading the Presbyterian Church, USA. to drop its support for the two-state solution when the denomination holds its biennial meeting in Portland, Oregon, in June,” Presbyterians for Middle East Peace said in announcing the book.The grassroots group was established in the late 2000s to preserve the church’s commitment to the two-state solution in the face of growing anti-Israel activity in the church.Jewish groups specializing in interfaith dialogue, led by the Jewish Council on Public Affairs, worked with Presbyterians for Middle East Peace at the church’s 2012 biennial to successfully deflect a bid to divest the church from three companies that dealt with Israel’s army.Backers of divestment, however, succeeded in 2014 in getting the church to divest from the three companies, although an amendment to the resolution explicitly rejected BDS, which advances a much broader divestment strategy.The 2014 debate was characterized by unusual bitterness, precipitated in part by the publication of an anti-Zionist tract by a group within the church that backs divestment.

Iran, Germany call for cooperation against terrorism-German foreign minister visits Tehran, heads next to Saudi Arabia-By AFP February 3, 2016, 6:29 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
TEHRAN — Iran and Germany agreed on the need to cooperate against “terrorism” Wednesday as Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier became the latest official to visit Tehran since the implementation of a landmark nuclear deal.Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani said the two countries could “cooperate on resolving regional and international issues, especially on fighting terrorism,” the official IRNA news agency reported.“The flow of arms and financial resources to terrorism must be stopped,” Rouhani said.Steinmeier’s visit comes after a landmark deal between Tehran and world powers to limit Iran’s nuclear program in return for lifting international sanctions against it came into force last month.The German foreign minister will next visit Saudi Arabia.The Gulf kingdom severed all ties with Iran last month after demonstrators stormed its embassy in Tehran and consulate in second city Mashhad following Riyadh’s execution of a prominent Saudi Shiite cleric.
Damascus Gate killers planned to attack group of civilians, police believe-One of the Palestinan gunmen had posted on Facebook that he intended to carry out a shooting, Channel 2 reports-By Times of Israel staff February 3, 2016, 7:28 pm
Israeli security officials said Wednesday’s fatal attack at the Damascus Gate in the Old City of Jerusalem, in which Border Police officer Hadar Cohen was killed and a second policewoman badly injured, marked “an escalation” in the ongoing terror wave.The three West Bank Palestinians who stabbed and shot at the Israeli forces had been sitting and waiting for a large group of Israeli civilians to enter or leave the Old City, and had planned to target them, Israel’s Channel 2 news reported on Wednesday evening, citing police sources.“As far as we can tell from the armaments, [the terrorists] planned a larger, more sophisticated attack,” Jerusalem Deputy Police Chief Avshalom Peled said. “This is an escalation from what we’ve seen thus far. The police officers prevented a combined and much larger attack.”Husam Badran, an official with the Hamas terror group, also called the attack “a turning point,” apparently referring to its severity and sophistication during a terror wave that has mostly consisted of lone stabbers.Two of three attackers, who hailed from the northern West Bank, were spotted by the Border Police unit and were asked to identify themselves. As one pulled out an ID card, the second pulled out a knife, and attacked the policewomen. Then the first one pulled out a rifle from under his coat and opened fire on the policewomen.At this point, the third attacker, waiting nearby, who had not previously been spotted, also began firing, Channel 2 said.Cohen, 19, who was shot in the head, managed to return fire before collapsing.The three terrorists were also found to be carrying explosive devices.The police and Shin Bet were investigating whether the trio acted alone, or had been dispatched by an established terrorist organization. They were also trying to establish whether the trio traveled with their guns and explosives, or whether accomplices helped them once they were in Jerusalem.One of three terrorists had vowed in a Facebook post to carry out a shooting attack, Channel 2 reported, ostensibly to avenge the killing of another Palestinian who attempted an attack at a border crossing in the northern West Bank last November.The TV report said all three of the attackers were members of families associated with Fatah.The three were identified by the Palestinian news agency Ma’an as Ahmad Rajeh Ismail Zakarneh, Muhammad Ahmad Hilmi Kamil and Najeh Ibrahim Abu al-Rub, all hailing from the village of Qabatiya near the West Bank city of Jenin.
Border Police officer, 19, dies after Jerusalem terror attack-Hadar Cohen of Or Yehuda succumbs to wounds in hospital, second officer in serious but stable condition; 3 Palestinian assailants killed by police after assault outside Damascus Gate-By Times of Israel staff and Judah Ari Gross February 3, 2016, 6:04 pm
A Border Police officer succumbed to wounds suffered during a shooting and stabbing attack near Jerusalem’s Old City Wednesday, after efforts to save her life at Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital Mount Scopus failed.The woman was identified as Hadar Cohen, 19, from Or Yehuda.Cohen was rushed to hospital in critical condition after she was wounded in the attack shortly after 2 p.m. local time. Paramedics who treated her at the scene said she was fighting for her life.Hospital officials said she was shot in the head. “We succeeded in stabilizing her condition for a time, but her head wound was so severe she never had a chance,” a hospital spokeswoman said.Another policewomen was in serious but stable condition at the hospital, with wounds all over her body, including her head, the spokeswoman said.The three attackers, identified by the Palestinian news agency Ma’an as Ahmed Abou Al-Roub, Mohammed Kameel and Mohammed Nassar, all hailing from the northern West Bank, arrived at the scene armed with apparently locally fabricated “Carl Gustav” rifles, knives and two pipe bombs, police said. Police initially suspected a third item found at the scene was a bomb, but sappers determined it was an abandoned bag.Border police officer, injured in the Damascus Gate attack, died of her wounds. Her name is Hadar Cohen, she was 19. pic.twitter.com/QRo2qQzdH6— Judah Ari Gross (@JudahAriGross) February 3, 2016-A third victim, identified only as a 20-year-old Israeli, was lightly wounded and treated at the scene.Cohen was drafted into the Border Police only two months ago, and was still in training as she patrolled the area outside Damascus Gate on Wednesday.Cohen is survived by her parents, a brother and a sister.Cohen was part of a three-member squad that spotted the three Palestinians behaving in a suspicious manner and asked to see their identification papers. As one attacker withdrew his ID card, the others opened fire and pulled out knives to attack the officers.According to police, Cohen managed to return fire before she was mortally wounded, despite being surprised by the attackers.After the attackers were killed by police forces who responded to the scene, police found pipe bombs on their person.“As far as we can tell from the armaments, [the terrorists] planned a larger, more sophisticated attack,” Jerusalem Deputy Police Chief Avshalom Peled said. “This is an escalation from what we’ve seen thus far. The police officers prevented a combined and much larger attack.”Magen David Adom rescue service director Eli Bin said medics who arrived on the scene attempted to resuscitate Cohen. He told Channel 2 that she had been stabbed in the neck multiple times and had lost a lot of blood.“When we arrived at the scene we saw two young women, approximately 20 years old, lying on the ground with puncture wounds to the upper body. One was unconscious, the other was still conscious but dazed,” MDA paramedic Nissan Hefetz said.Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat visited the scene shortly after the attack.“I had a chance to speak to our brave warriors, who were not afraid to engage” the terrorists, he said at the scene. “This was a real battle. In this battle, the police and Border Police officers of Jerusalem prevented a much larger disaster. Their readiness allowed them to [quickly] engage [the attackers] and save lives. The public in Jerusalem must keep their eyes open, and not hesitate to engage [attackers]. That readiness will prevent attacks.”Two of the attackers were from Qabatiya in the northern West Bank, and the third was from nearby Jenin. Police said they were all 20-21 years old.According to the Shin Bet, they had no prior involvement in terror activities.In a statement Wednesday, Hamas congratulated the “unique and heroic operation,” describing it as a “blow to the security system of the occupation.”Avi Issacharoff and Marissa Newman contributed to this report.
