IDF: Palestinian man attempts to ram soldiers with car, is shot dead-No servicemen injured in attempted attack in southern West Bank, amid uptick of violence-By TOI staff-may 16,21-Today, 4:35 am

The Israel Defense Forces said soldiers opened fire at a Palestinian man who was attempting to commit a car-ramming attack near Dahariyya Junction in the southern West Bank on Saturday night.According to the Palestinian Authority health ministry, the man, who has yet to be publicly identified, died of his wounds.There were no reports of injuries among the Israeli soldiers.Violence in the West Bank has increased since terror groups in the Gaza Strip began firing rockets at Israel on Monday, setting off the worst flare-up of Israeli-Palestinian fighting in seven years.The IDF said Friday that forces shot and killed a Palestinian assailant who attempted to attack a soldier at the entrance to a military post near the West Bank settlement of Ofra, north of Ramallah. There were no reports of Israelis hurt in the incident. The suspect first attempted to ram the soldier stationed at the military post with his vehicle, and then got out and tried to stab him, the military said.Also Friday, at least nine West Bank Palestinians were killed by Israeli live fire during violent clashes with the IDF, the Palestinian Authority health ministry said. Palestinians threw rocks, Molotov cocktails and shot fireworks at several locations across the West Bank, according to the IDF. Israeli soldiers responded with riot dispersal means and, in some cases, live fire.According to the IDF, some 3,000 Palestinians participated in the riots. The IDF said live fire had been used at some of the sites, including to target “main rioters.”On Wednesday, a Palestinian man tried to stab Israeli soldiers at a checkpoint in the southern West Bank city of Hebron and was shot by troops at the scene.The army on Tuesday said a would-be Palestinian gunman was killed and another was seriously injured after pulling a weapon on troops at Tapuah Junction. But according to Army Radio, the incident was a case of mistaken identity and it remains unclear whether the Palestinians were armed. Both were members of Palestinian intelligence services, a Palestinian security source told AFP, without giving further details.Last Friday, three Palestinians opened fire toward a Border Police base in Israeli territory near the northern West Bank, with two of the attackers killed and one wounded when officers on the scene returned fire. The assailants were believed to be headed toward Jerusalem to carry out a terror attack in the city but were halted by Israeli security forces.Earlier this month, a Palestinian terrorist opened fire toward Israeli civilians at the Tapuah Junction in the West Bank, resulting in the death of 19-year-old yeshiva student Yehuda Guetta and in the injury of two others.The attack on Friday came amid renewed fighting between Israel and Gaza terror groups, with over 2,300 rockets fired from the enclave since Monday night, killing 10 in Israel. The IDF has responded with airstrikes on Gaza, which have killed 119 according to the Hamas-run health ministry

IDF: 130 rockets were fired at Israel’s cities overnight-In call with Gantz, US defense chief condemns Hamas and calls for calm * IDF defends strike on Gaza media building, says Hamas, PIJ assets were there-By TOI staff-may 16,21-Today, 7:51 am-By Judah Ari Gross

Palestinian terror groups fired over 130 rockets toward Israel from the Gaza Strip from Saturday night to Sunday morning, the military says, with dozens of the incoming projectiles being intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system.According to the Israel Defense Forces, roughly 120 rockets were fired into Israeli territory during that time, while 11 failed to clear the border and landed within the Gaza Strip.Roughly half of the projectiles — 55 — were fired at Israel in a massive barrage aimed at central and southern Israel around midnight Saturday, which caused neither injury nor significant damage, according to Israeli authorities.In total, terrorists have launched nearly 2,500 rockets since the start of the fighting on Monday evening, according to the military’s tally.8:49 am-In call with Gantz, US defense chief condemns Hamas and calls for calm-By Judah Ari Gross-The Pentagon releases a readout of a Saturday phone call between US Defense Minister Lloyd Austin and Defense Minister Benny Gantz.While Austin “reaffirmed Israel’s right to defend itself” and “strongly condemned the continued onslaught of attacks by Hamas and other terrorist groups targeting Israeli civilians,” he urged an end to the fighting and the restoration of calm.8:11 am-60 brushfires put out in West Bank on Saturday, half of them said caused by arson-Israeli Fire and Rescue Services officials say 60 brushfires were put out throughout the West Bank since Saturday morning that were sparked by firebombs and burning tires in protests.An estimated 30 of those brushfires were started intentionally, the officials say.7:58 am-Three-hour quiet punctured by 5 a.m. rocket fire at Gaza border towns-After a three-hour lull in Gaza rocket fire from roughly 2 a.m. to 5 a.m., fresh rocket sirens sound this morning throughout the Gaza border area, including in Berekhaya, Nitzanim, Nir Israel, Nahal Oz and Hodaya.There are no immediate reports of injuries or damage.7:55 am-IDF releases footage of bombing of Hamas chief Sinwar’s home-The IDF releases footage of its bombing of the home of Hamas’s leader in the Gaza Strip, Yahya Sinwar, overnight.7:55 am-IDF lauds Iron Dome performance in overnight rocket barrage from Gaza-By Judah Ari Gross-Some 55 rockets were fired at Tel Aviv and central Israel in Hamas’s Saturday midnight barrage, the Israel Defense Forces says.Without releasing exact numbers, IDF Spokesperson Hidai Zilberman says the Iron Dome missile defense system performed well against the fusillade.“We intercepted a very, very good percentage of them,” he says.Iron Dome putting in some serious work tonight- (Video: Tai Tzaban) pic.twitter.com/Omi2JL9ibo — Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian (@manniefabian) May 15, 2021-No direct injuries were reported in the strikes, though a number of people were injured while running to bomb shelters, according to medics.7:54 am-IDF defends strike on Gaza media building, noting Hamas, PIJ assets in building-By Judah Ari Gross-Fire and smoke rises from the Jala Tower as it is destroyed in an Israeli airstrike after the IDF war.IDF Spokesperson Hidai Zilberman pushes back against American lawmakers’ condemnation of the targeting of a building in Gaza that housed a number of international media outlets, where the military says Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad organization also maintained facilities.One of the main occupants of the building, the Associate Press news agency, which has maintained offices there for some 15 years, has denied knowledge of Hamas’s presence in the building and demanded the Israel Defense Forces release evidence of that fact, which Zilberman rejected.“Yesterday I released a statement with the assets that were in the building. I’ll repeat them: a Hamas research and development unit, Hamas military intelligence and offices of the PIJ. It was very clear what was in there,” he says.Asked if the strike wasn’t a mistake nevertheless given the denunciation by key Israeli allies, including US President Joe Biden and Democratic US Senator Bob Menendez, who have until now overwhelmingly supported Israel’s operation in the Gaza Strip in response to ongoing rocket fire from Gaza at cities and towns throughout the country, Zilberman balked.“We’re in the midst of an operation. They are firing wherever they want, on a civilian population, on cities that have tens and hundreds of thousands of people. Think for a second about all the people you mentioned, imagine what they would say if one rocket — one! — were fired at Washington. I want to know what they would say,” Zilberman says.“A building that has Hamas and Islamic Jihad assets in it needs to be brought down.”The spokesperson adds that this operation was meant to deter terror groups from maintaining offices alongside media outlets in the future.“If Hamas and the Islamic Jihad think that the media are their shield, then in the next operation in Gaza, we’ll find that media outlets’ offices are going to be popping up as covers for terrorist assets,” he says.

Police say they were ‘underprepared’ for Jewish-Arab violence engulfing cities-Commissioner Kobi Shabtai says 1,000 have been arrested over riots, is evasive on whether he thinks far-right MK Ben Gvir is to blame for unrest-By TOI staff-MAY 16,21-Today, 4:31 am

Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai on Saturday conceded that forces were underprepared for the violence that swept through Jewish-Arab cities this week, particularly amid the ongoing threat of rocket fire from Gaza.“There were a number of events we weren’t prepared to respond to simultaneously,” Shabtai told reporters. “Today we are prepared with greater intensity, with a concentration of forces, and there [will be a] response [to events].”Tensions between Israel’s Jewish and Arab communities have spiraled into mob violence, turning some ostensibly ethnically integrated cities into veritable war zones as police have appeared unequipped to handle the most serious internal unrest to grip the country in years.Shabtai had reportedly accused extreme-right MK Itamar Ben Gvir of being responsible for the ongoing riots and fanning the flames.When asked to respond to the Friday report, Shabtai told reporters that “there are those from all sides of the political spectrum that contributed their share to the current situation.”“Do the math yourself,” the commissioner said when asked if Ben Gvir specifically was the cause of the violence.Shabtai added that some 1,000 people have been arrested so far for involvement in the violence over the past week and at least 420 of them remain in custody.Several people, both Jewish and Arab, have been assaulted and seriously wounded in shooting incidents and beatings in the unrest.In Lod, a central city with Jewish and Arab populations that has become an epicenter of the ethnic violence wracking the country, a curfew began at 8 p.m. on Saturday for the fifth night in a row.Also Saturday, the Defense Ministry extended the state of emergency in the city by 48 hours, at the request of police, a spokesperson for the ministry said.Saturday night remained relatively quiet aside from sporadic reports from the central mixed Jewish and Arab city of Ramle, and the southern Bedouin city of Rahat.In Ramle’s market, at least two stores went up in flames on Saturday night. A spokesperson for the Fire and Rescue Services said firefighters managed to quickly extinguish both blazes, but did not confirm the cause.In Rahat, police said two teenagers, aged 15 and 17, were detained after they hurled stones at a police station in the city.There were no reports of injuries in any of the incidents.Late Friday night, Arab rioters in the mixed Arab-Jewish city Acre torched the Acre theater, which locals have described as a symbol of Arab-Jewish coexistence.“It’s incredibly painful to see this happen,” Moni Yosef, one of the theater’s managers, told Ynet.Clashes also broke out in the northern Arab Israeli towns and cities of Baqa al-Gharbiyye, Fureidis, Umm al-Fahm, Jisr az-Zarqa and other areas in the north, including Haifa. Police said officers used riot dispersal means as violent protesters threw rocks and firebombs, and launched firecrackers. Police also said they made a number of arrests, with suspects taken in for questioning.In Nahf, an Arab town near Carmiel, rioters set a truck alight, attacking officers with firebombs and rocks when they arrived at the scene. One person was arrested, the Ynet news site reported.In Jaffa, a home in the Ajami neighborhood was firebombed, injuring two Arab children — a 12-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl — and prompting police to launch an investigation. Surveillance footage from the incident showed two hooded figures walking in an alleyway near the home before it was attacked.Public Security Minister Amir Ohana on Saturday said that the investigation into the firebombing is in progress.According to the Kan public broadcaster, police are examining the possibility that the assailants were Arab Israelis who believed the home belonged to Jews.

Netanyahu: Gaza operation is ‘just and moral,’ a few days of fighting lie ahead-Condemning ethnic violence in Israel, PM says country won’t tolerate ‘pogroms,’ and those who act like ‘terrorists’ will be dealt with as such-By TOI staff and Jacob Magid-MAY 16,21-Today, 12:54 am

In a televised statement on Saturday night, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Israel’s military operation in Gaza and also said Israel would not tolerate “pogroms” in its cities, referring to recent ethnic violence between Jewish and Arab Israelis.“There is no more just or moral operation,” Netanyahu said of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, noting the hostilities began when Hamas fired rockets at Jerusalem on Monday evening in “a totally unprovoked attack.”Palestinian terror groups have tied the escalation in Gaza to clashes between police and Muslim worshipers on the Temple Mount during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and the pending eviction of a number of Palestinian families from their homes in East Jerusalem’s Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood.Palestinian terrorists in Gaza have fired over 2,300 rockets at Israel since the outbreak of fighting on Monday, according to the Israel Defense Forces. Ten Israelis, including a young child, have been killed in the rocket fire, and hundreds have been injured. The most recent casualty was on Saturday afternoon when a man was killed by a projectile that struck the Tel Aviv suburb of Ramat Gan.“You know and I know no country would tolerate this. Israel will not tolerate this. Israel has responded forcefully to these attacks and will continue to respond forcefully,” Netanyahu said in English, following similar comments in Hebrew.Netanyahu said that a “few days” of fighting still lay ahead. He accused Hamas of “committing a double war crime” by firing rockets at Israeli citizens from within population centers in Gaza. He also touted the “special care” Israel takes to avoid civilian casualties, such as alerting occupants of buildings it is going to strike before it bombs them.Referring to Israel’s destruction of high-rise buildings, such as the one on Saturday that housed offices of foreign media outlets, Netanyahu said these buildings are being used by Hamas and other terror organizations.He warned terror leaders: “You can’t hide, not above land or below it. No one is immune.”He also thanked US President Joe Biden for his “clear and unequivocal support,” following a phone call with the American leader.Defense Minister Benny Gantz also issued an English-language statement Saturday night, appealing to the international community to back Israel amid the fighting against Hamas and the other Gaza terror groups. Gantz said he ordered the IDF to launch Operation Guardian of the Walls after Hamas began firing rockets toward Israel on Monday evening.“This was not a question of choice. It was a question of duty. Duty to our citizens. Duty to democracy. And duty to the values of life, freedom, and the rule of law. No country, institution, or international body can question our right to protect our citizens and our sovereignty,” he said. He urged Hamas to “stop terrorizing our people. And stop terrorizing yours.”“It is absurd that we do everything in our power to avoid hitting your civilians while you cowardly hide behind them,” he said.Gantz also called on every world leader “who values life and liberty to take a clear stand against this horrific violence” and support Israel’s right to defend itself.In his statement, Netanyahu also condemned recent riots in Israeli cities, with violence initiated by both Jews and Arabs.Over the past week Israel experienced its worst internal Jewish-Arab chaos for many years, as scenes of unrest, rioting, hate rallies and growing social chaos spread throughout numerous cities, some of which had been seen as symbols of coexistence.Several people, both Jewish and Arab, have been assaulted and seriously wounded in shooting incidents and beatings.“The Jewish state will not tolerate pogroms against our citizens. We will not allow our Jewish citizens to be lynched or live in fear of murderous Arab gangs. We will not tolerate the torching of synagogues and the torching of property,” he said.e also said Israel “will not allow Jews to take the law into their own hands and attack innocent Arabs, or attempt to lynch an innocent Arab; there was one such case,” he said, apparently referring to an unprovoked vicious mob beating of an Arab man in Bat Yam.“Whoever incites will pay a very heavy price,” he said. “Whoever acts as a terrorist will be punished as a terrorist.”“To tolerate this unacceptable vigilantism and violence is to pave the way to anarchy,” he said.Netanyahu concluded: “I’m confident Israel will be able to deal with these threats from without and these threats from within.”Earlier Saturday, Netanyahu spoke with Biden about the ongoing escalation in violence between Israel and terrorists in the Gaza Strip and said the IDF was doing everything possible to avoid harming civilians, according to an Israeli statement on the call.Biden, for his part, said he was worried about the safety of journalists in the conflict zone, after Israel demolished a Gaza tower where foreign journalists had offices. The IDF had warned occupants that it was going to demolish the tower, which it said was used as a Hamas intel HQ.The president also stressed his support for “steps to enable the Palestinian people to enjoy dignity, security, freedom,” as part of a two-state solution.The conversation, reportedly initiated by Biden, was the second between the two leaders this week.Netanyahu updated Biden on Israel’s operations in Gaza and the future steps it plans to take there, according to the Israeli statement on the call.Additionally, Netanyahu thanked Biden for the “unwavering support” of the United States for Israel’s right to defend itself, the statement said.Netanyahu “emphasized in the conversation that Israel is doing everything to avoid harming innocent civilians and the proof of this is that in towers where there are terror targets attacked by the IDF, they are given time to evacuate first,” the Prime Minister’s Office said.A few hours later the White House put out a statement on the call, saying Biden “reaffirmed his strong support for Israel’s right to defend itself against rocket attacks from Hamas and other terrorist groups in Gaza. He condemned these indiscriminate attacks against towns and cities across Israel.”The president also “updated the prime minister on high-level US engagement with regional partners on this issue and discussed ongoing diplomatic efforts. The president noted that this current period of conflict has tragically claimed the lives of Israeli and Palestinian civilians, including children. He raised concerns about the safety and security of journalists and reinforced the need to ensure their protection,” the statement said.Biden also expressed “grave concern” about the ethnic violence between Jews and Arabs in Israel, according to the White House.“He welcomed the statements by the prime minister and other leaders opposing such hateful acts and encouraged continued steps to hold violent extremists accountable and to establish calm,” it said.The statement further said the two leaders discussed tensions in Jerusalem and “their shared desire” for the city “to be a place of peaceful coexistence for people of all faiths and backgrounds.”Additionally, Biden “voiced his concern” about recent violence in the West Bank. At least nine West Bank Palestinians were killed by Israeli live fire during violent clashes with the Israel Defense Forces on Friday, the Palestinian Authority health ministry said.“The president voiced his concern about violent confrontations in the West Bank. He expressed his support for steps to enable the Palestinian people to enjoy the dignity, security, freedom and economic opportunity that they deserve and affirmed his support for a two-state solution,” the statement said, before concluding that the two leaders agreed to continue communication in the coming days.The Prime Minister’s Office announced the call shortly after the White House press secretary Jen Psaki tweeted that the US has “communicated directly to the Israelis that ensuring the safety and security of journalists and independent media is a paramount responsibility.”The comments from the Biden administration appeared to be the closest thing to criticism from the US of Israeli actions since the start of the latest round of violence and came shortly after Israel bombed the Gaza building that housed the offices of The Associated Press and Al Jazeera, saying it was also being used by Hamas.After warning occupants to leave, an Israeli airstrike flattened the tower in Gaza City.The Al Jala building hid “military assets” used by the intelligence wing of the Strip’s Hamas rulers, the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement after the strike.The IDF accused Hamas of “hiding behind” the offices of the press outlets in the tower and “using them as human shieldS.Biden also spoke with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday in the first phone call between the two since Biden was inaugurated in January.The US president “expressed his support for steps to enable the Palestinian people to enjoy the dignity, security, freedom, and economic opportunity that they deserve,” according to the White House readout, which said that Biden also noted the recent decisions to restart aid to the Palestinians that was cut off by former president Donald Trump.Separately, Gantz spoke by phone with his American counterpart Lloyd Austin on Saturday, with his office saying he thanked the defense secretary for the US administration’s backing of Israel’s right to defend itself.“Gantz stressed to Austin that Israel is doing everything possible to refrain from harming the uninvolved and its goal is to achieve long-term calm vis-à-vis the [Hamas] terror group which aims to harm population centers,” the Defense Ministry said in a statement.The flurry of calls came after Biden on Thursday said he did not think Israel has overreacted in its response to rocket fire from Gaza as Washington worked to block the UN Security Council from holding an open meeting on the matter.“One of the things I’ve seen thus far is that there has not been a significant overreaction [by Israel],” Biden said when asked at a press conference whether Netanyahu was doing enough to prevent an escalation.Meanwhile, UN Security Council diplomats told The Times of Israel that the US mission had blocked an effort backed by all 14 other members to hold the week’s third emergency session on the escalation in Israel and Gaza. They had hoped for a session on Friday, which unlike the ones on Monday and Wednesday would have been an open meeting. Instead, the Security Council will now meet on Sunday at 10 a.m.In Gaza, the toll from the fighting climbed to 139 on Saturday, including dozens of children, with over 1,000 wounded, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.An Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip overnight Friday-Saturday hit a house in the Shati refugee camp in Gaza City, killing at least 10 Palestinians, most of them children, Palestinians said.Israeli military sources, quoted by Israel’s Channel 12 news on Saturday, said “senior Hamas figures” were meeting in the building at the time, and it was “not clear” how many of them were among the dead.The Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror groups have confirmed 20 deaths in their ranks, though Israel says that number is much higher and that dozens of those killed were terrorists. In addition, the IDF says some deaths were caused by errant rockets fired at Israel which fell short of their targets and landed in the Strip.

‘No ceasefire yet’: Israel said to want IDF to complete ‘missions’ against Hamas-Political leadership said not interested in ceasefire initiatives, thinks it still has diplomatic room for maneuver; Gaza terror groups said ready to stop fighting, claim victory-By Jacob Magid and TOI staff    15 May 2021, 10:26 pm

Israel has made it clear that it is not currently seeking a ceasefire with Gaza’s terror groups despite a number of proposals raised to halt the fighting, according to a Saturday report.Channel 12 news said that several initiatives have been proposed to end the violence, but Israel’s political leadership favors several more days of fighting to enable the IDF to complete the missions it wants to carry out against Hamas in Gaza. There were no further details given on those objectives.“This is not the time for a ceasefire. We are continuing,” an unnamed senior Israeli source is quoted as saying by the network.At the same time, the source said, it was clear that there would be ceasefire discussions in the coming week because although Israel believes it still has diplomatic room for maneuver, there is an awareness that this is not unlimited, the report said.Meanwhile, after initially being cautiously optimistic about a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas over the weekend, a diplomatic source familiar with the negotiations told The Times of Israel on Saturday that the intense violence over the past 24 hours will likely delay such an agreement “by a few days.”The comments came after the source, who spoke to The Times of Israel on condition of anonymity, said Friday that mediators had expressed cautious optimism for a halt within days of fighting between the Israel Defense Forces and Gaza-based fighters led by the Hamas terror group.Gaza terror groups have made it clear that they are ready for an Egyptian-mediated ceasefire and will abide by it if the Israeli retaliatory strikes on Gaza stop, according to a report on the Saudi Al-Arabiya channel cited by the Ynet news site on Saturday. Other Hebrew media reports have suggested Hamas — which believes it has achieved victories throughout this conflict, including by asserting itself as the Palestinian protector of Jerusalem, rocketing Israel incessantly for days, forcing the closure of the airport, helping incite Arab-Jewish violence inside Israel, and marginalizing the Palestinian Authority — will probably seek ceasefire conditions, including demands regarding Jerusalem, that Israel is unlikely to accept.Hamas’s Khaled Mashaal told a Turkish news agency Friday that the terror group is ready for a ceasefire but has not received a response from Israel.He said the US and Russia were involved in the talks. Another Hamas official told the Arabic al-Meyadeen outlet that there had not been any progress in negotiations.An Egyptian intelligence official with knowledge of the talks told the Associated Press that Israel rejected an Egyptian proposal for a yearlong truce with Hamas and other Gaza militants, which would have started at midnight Thursday had Israel agreed. He said Hamas had accepted the proposal.Egypt has been playing a major role in the current efforts to end the violence, holding calls with Hamas officials as well as Qatar, the US and other countries, though not with Israel directly, another official told The Times of Israel.US Deputy Assistant Secretary for Israeli and Palestinian Affairs Hady Amr arrived in Tel Aviv Friday, on a visit that was scheduled before the eruption of violence.US President Joe Biden spoke with both Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday.The Prime Minister’s Office said that Netanyahu reassured Biden that Israel was doing everything it could to minimize civilian casualties in Gaza. The White House said Biden “reaffirmed his strong support for Israel’s right to defend itself against rocket attacks from Hamas and other terrorist groups in Gaza,” but also expressed worries about dangers posed to journalists in the conflict zone and stressed the Palestinians’ right to freedom and security under a two-state solution.Palestinian terrorists in Gaza have fired over 2,300 rockets toward Israel since the outbreak of fighting on Monday, according to the Israel Defense Forces.Ten Israelis, including a young child, have been killed in the rocket fire, and hundreds have been injured.In Gaza, the toll from the fighting climbed to 145 on Saturday, including dozens of children, with over 1,000 wounded, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.The Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror groups have confirmed 20 deaths in their ranks, though Israel says that number is much higher and that dozens of those killed were terrorists. In addition, the IDF says some deaths were caused by errant rockets fired at Israel which fell short of their targets and landed in the Strip.The conflict represents the fourth major military campaign since Israel unilaterally pulled civilians and troops out of the coastal enclave in 2005, and the first since 2014. There have also been smaller flareups in the intervening period, many of them halted after Egyptian mediation.

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.

Germany vows ‘no tolerance’ after Israel-flag burning outside synagogues-FM Heiko Maas promises ‘unwavering’ protection for Jewish houses of worship, following anti-Israel protests amid fighting in Gaza-By AFP and TOI staff-MAY 13,21-Today, 4:47 pm

BERLIN — Germany on Thursday vowed “unwavering” protection of its synagogues after scattered demonstrations over the escalating military conflict between Israel and Gaza-based terror groups saw protesters shout anti-Israeli slogans and burn Israeli flags.“There must be no tolerance for attacks against synagogues in our country,” German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas told the Funke media group, pledging “unwavering security” for Jewish temples in Germany.Protesters burned Israeli flags outside synagogues in Muenster and Bonn in western Germany earlier this week, with 16 people arrested.On Wednesday evening, around 180 people shouted anti-Israeli slogans at a march in Gelsenkirchen also in the west.Police said they prevented the protesters from marching on the city’s synagogue.Judenhass mitten in #Gelsenkirchen vor der #Synagoge.

(Olivier Matthys/Pool/AFP)-Maas said German Jews should not be made scapegoats for the events in Israel “either in the street or on social media.”Germany’s Central Council of Jews, which represents about 200,000 Jews living in the country, on Wednesday called for stepped-up protection for Jewish institutions in the country as 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, 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.

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 - en.globes.co.il - on May 13, 2021

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.
