Shrapnel with Hebrew writing on it discovered in body of wounded Syrian
An injured Syrian man arrived at the border with Israel and was transported to a hospital in the northern part of the country in order to receive medical treatment. While operating on the injured man, the doctors were shocked to discover that the source of his primary wound was a shrapnel covered in Hebrew writing.

Last week, a wounded Syrian man was transported to a hospital in Northern Israel. The man received treatment just like the other injured Syrians who come to Israel for medical treatment. However, the doctors were surprised to discover that it was an Israeli weapon that caused his injury.

The injured Syrian man was admitted to the intensive care unit because he was suffering from severe bleeding and various injuries. While the doctors were operating on him, they saw that the source of his primary injury was a shrapnel in his neck. When the doctors removed it, they discovered that the shrapnel had Hebrew writing on it.

The doctors were unable to figure out how the Syrian man was injured by a weapon manufactured in Israel. The possible explanations, which are currently being reviewed, is that he was hit during an Israeli attack in Syria in the past or perhaps he was injured by a makeshift weapon made up of old Israeli mines that were dismantled.

However, there is also a third possibility. In the past, various Syrian officials accused Israel of supplying the rebel forces with weapons but no Israeli official has ever confirmed these allegations.

Rocket fired from Gaza lands in Sderot; IAF responds by attacking targets in Gaza
A rocket that was fired from Gaza into Israel landed between 2 homes in Sderot. Luckily, the rocket did not explode and no injuries were reported. In response, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) attacked a target in Northern Gaza.

This afternoon (Sunday), a rocket was fired from Gaza into Israel and landed between 2 homes in Sderot. Luckily, the rocket did not explode and no one was injured.

Police officers who were rushed to the scene blocked off the access to the area. The rocket, which was apparently fired from the city of Beit Hanoun in Gaza, was transferred to the Israel Police Bomb Squad. Meanwhile, Palestinian news outlets are reporting that the IAF attacked targets in Beit Hanoun shortly after the rocket was fired.

Shortly after the rocket was fired, IAF aircraft attacked terrorist infrastructure belonging to Hamas in Northern Gaza. In addition, the IDF also responded with tank fire against Hamas targets in Gaza. The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said that “the IDF will continue to act decisively at all times in order to maintain the security of the residents of Israel.”

Golanilla paukkui taas

IDF attacked in Syria in response to mortar fire directed at Israel
The Israeli Air Force attacked targets in Syria in response to the mortar fire that reached Israeli territory, most likely the result of errant fire spilling over from the civil war in Syria.

The Israeli Air Force attacked targets in Syrian territory in response to the firing of mortar shells towards the Israel-Syria border fence in the central part of the Golan Heights. The estimation is that the mortar landings were the result of errant fire spilling over from the civil war in Syria rather than the result of intentional shooting.


The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit reported that no one was harmed and no damage was caused to property as a result of the mortar fire. In response to the shooting, the IDF reportedly attacked a mortar launcher belonging to the Syrian Army in the central part of the Syrian Golan.

“The IDF sees the Syrian regime as responsible for what takes place in its territory and will not tolerate any attempt to hinder the sovereignty of the State of Israel and the security of its citizens,” the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit stated.

Last July, a mortar shell exploded in the northern part of the Golan Heights near the border with Syria, also apparently the result of errant fire spilling over from Syria. The mortar shell exploded on the Israeli side of the border opposite the city of Quneitra, where battles have been taking place between different Syrian groups recently. No one was injured in the incident and no property was harmed. In response, Israeli Air Force aircrafts attacked the source of the fire.

Powell discusses secret Israeli nukes in leaked 2015 email
WASHINGTON (AP) — In a private email exchange last year leaked this week by hackers, former Secretary of State Colin Powell discussed Israel's nuclear weapons capability with a friend, saying the country has 200 warheads.

Though Israel is widely believed to have developed nukes decades ago, it has never declared itself to be a nuclear state. The existence of its weapons program is considered classified information by both the Israeli and U.S. governments.

Powell, a retired Army general who has served as White House national security adviser and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told The Associated Press on Friday through a spokeswoman he was referring to public estimates of Israel's nukes.

"Gen. Powell has not been briefed or had any knowledge from U.S. sources on the existence and or size of an Israeli nuclear capability," the statement said. "He like many people believe that there may be a capability and the number 200 has been speculated upon in open sources." It added: "This email was written 10 years after he left government and has not received briefings on classified matters."

Powell, 79, would not say whether he still retains a security clearance.

Iron Dome intercepts 2 rockets launched from Syria

An Iron Dome system in the Golan Heights intercepted 2 rockets that were fired from Syria towards Israel today. It appears that this was yet another case of spillover fire from the war in Syria. According to the initial investigation, it appears that the two rockets would not have fallen in Israel.

An Iron Dome system intercepted a rocket that was launched from Syria towards the Israeli Golan Heights today (Saturday). The interception occurred above the demilitarized zone between the two countries near Quneitra. Less than 2 hours later, the Iron Dome system intercepted another rocket that was launched towards Israel. According to assessments, both the incidents were cases of spillover fire from the battles in Syria.

Shortly after the first rocket was intercepted, the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit stated: “A short while ago, high trajectory fire heading towards the Northern Golan Heights was spotted and intercepted by an Iron Dome system.” The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit added that no injuries or damages were caused by the interception.

According to the Israeli security establishment’s assessments, the two rockets were not intended for Israel. “According to the initial investigation, both the incidents of fire this afternoon would not have fallen in Israeli territory,” said the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit.

Earlier this week, a mortar landed in Israel’s Northern Golan Heights not far from the border between the two countries. No injuries or damages were reported. The IDF stated that this was a case of spillover fire from the battles between the Syrian Army and the rebel forces near Quneitra. Less than 24 hours beforehand, the Israeli Air Force attacked targets in Syria in response to 3 mortars that landed in Northern Israel.

Syrian officials accused Israel of being responsible for the tensions along the mutual border. Earlier this week, JOL reported that a senior level Syrian Army official said that the recent tension in the region “is an Israeli attempt to escalate the situation and derail the ceasefire that was brokered by Russia and the US.”

This morning, the Syrian media reported that an Israeli plane was shot down near Quneitra shortly after the Israeli attack upon Syria following mortar fire landing into Israel. It was also reported that a drone was shot down within Syria territory. Israel denied the report and said that the aircraft was not damaged.

The IDF made clear that no aircraft or drone was shot down in Syria but they did state that anti-aircraft shots were fired at the planes attacking Syrian positions. However, the planes were not damaged. The IDF stated that there were 2 ground-to-air missiles: “Air Force aircraft were distant from the source of the shooting and the shooting did not constitute a threat to our forces.”

The Syrian SANA News Agency reported that a drone and plane attacked the area of Quneitra at around 1:00am. “The aircraft and the drone were shot down,” they claimed.

Mielenkiintoinen siviili-sotilasharjoitus tulossa:

Israel prepares home front for next war with Hezbollah
BY DAVID DAOUD | September 17, 2016 | [email protected] | @DavidADaoud
Flickr_-_Israel_Defense_Forces_-_Home_Front_Commands_Search_and_Rescue_Unit_Conduct_Cooperative_Exercise_6-min-300x200.jpg


The Israel Defense Forces announced Friday that its nationwide Home Front Drill will be held next week. The drill, dubbed “Standing Firm,” is intended to prepare Israel’s civilian home front for emergency situations, and will include extensive training for Israel’s future war with Hezbollah. The IDF’s estimates in preparation for the exercise reveal that the next war will be relatively more destructive than previous confrontations between the two sides, but not the apocalyptic scenario envisioned by many.

In the decade that has passed since the Second Lebanon War, Hezbollah has undeniably become a stronger force, even though it is still no match for the IDF. Its arsenal has grown to include 150,000 rockets, expanded and improved its tunnel network in south Lebanon, and is attempting to open the Golan Heights as a second front against Israel.

The Home Front Command’s exercise takes into account this growth in Hezbollah’s strength. As a result, it will aim to prepare Israel’s civilians for the worst-case scenario of a future war with Hezbollah. It envisions that such a war will be fought on multiple fronts – placing most of Israel under fire – and will also involve Iran, Syria and Hamas. It will include a simulation of massive rocket fire on different civilian population centers, damage to critical infrastructure, cyber-attacks and failure of electrical and communication services.

According to the IDF’s estimates, these actors now possess a total of 230,000 rockets and missiles of various ranges, more than half of which are in Hezbollah’s arsenal. In a future war, they will be able to jointly fire an average 1,500 rockets daily at Israel. By comparison, during the Second Lebanon War, Hezbollah succeeded in striking Israel with a maximum of 160 rockets daily.

While the new numbers seem overwhelming, the IDF’s estimates present a more sobering and reassuring picture. According to the Home Front Command, fully 95 percent of those rockets will be of the short-range variety, with a maximum range of 28 miles and carrying just over 22 lbs of explosive material. In other words, they are inaccurate and relatively ineffective Katyusha and Grad rockets, and mortars. While the army estimates that at least 10,000 buildings will be struck, most of the damage will be concentrated in Israel’s north, with only dozens of strikes from Gaza landing in the Gush Dan region.

The army expects most of these inherently inaccurate rockets will miss their targets. But Israel is not leaving the safety of its civilians up to chance. In the past decade, Israel has developed and deployed the Iron Dome, its missile defense system designed to deal with short-range rockets like the Katyusha. As a result, the IDF estimates that only 1 percent of rockets fired at Israel will strike urban areas, but even they are expected to cause little damage due to their small explosive payload.

Israel has also upgraded its early-warning system in the face of Hezbollah’s rocket threat. Under the new system, the Home Front Command has deployed systems that can approximate a rocket’s strike zone to within one square kilometer. The new system also divides the country into 250 alert zones (compared to 25 during the 2006 war) and large cities into smaller sections. In the event of an incoming rocket attack, warning sirens will only sound in the targeted area. This would eliminate the need for massive evacuations of civilians into shelters during every rocket strike.

Between these improvements and the ineffective nature of Hezbollah’s weapons, the IDF is estimating a relatively low Israeli civilian casualty rate. In the past, Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah hasthreatened to kill “tens of thousands” Israelis with rocket attacks in a future war, but the Home Front is estimating a casualty rate of “only” 250 to 500 individuals.

The expected harm to the Israel’s home front and the civilian death toll, while not catastrophic, will still be the highest suffered by the Jewish state since its War of Independence in 1948. Such a steep price will only be bearable if the IDF succeeds in dealing Hezbollah a critical blow during their next confrontation.

Terrorist organization in Gaza presents new rocket for next round of confrontation against Israel
A terrorist organization in Gaza displayed a rocket it claims can reach every strategic facility in Israel, making it a real threat to Israel. The Israeli security establishment has not yet commented on the report.

Approximately two years after Operation Protective Edge ended, the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), one of the terrorist organization in Gaza, is signaling that it is already ready for another round of confrontation against Israel. Today (Monday), the terrorist organization displayed the newest model of a rocket that was manufactured locally. According to the PRC, the rocket is a real threat to Israel.

The PRC claims that the rocket can reach all of Israel’s strategic facilities. The terrorist organization released pictures of the rocket being manufactured and explained its capabilities during a show that was put on today in Rafah. In addition, the PRC released a video documenting a trial launch. However, the terrorist organization did not mention the rocket’s exact range.

The Israeli security establishment has not yet commented on the terrorist organization’s claim regarding the rocket being a true threat to Israel.

Hermon vuoren kranaattionnettomuus tutkittu

Investigation: Hermon grenade accident was the result of misconduct involving weapons
According to the investigation of the incident that took place two months and a half ago and led to the death of 2 IDF soldiers, the fatal accident was the result of misconduct involving weapons.

Two months and a half after two IDF soldiers were killed when a grenade exploded at a military post on Mount Hermon, IDF Chief of General Staff Gadi Eizenkot received the investigative report on the circumstances that led to the incident.


According to the report, the fatal accident was the result of misconduct involving weapons, as the soldiers on guard duty did not hand over the grenade to the soldiers that replaced them and it was left at the post during the night. The regiment commander and the platoon commander at the post were reprimanded and the company commander, who finished his military service, will not be allowed to serve in a commanding role in reserve duty.


The two IDF soldiers who were killed in the incident are Staff Sgt. Hussam Tafesh (24), a driver in the IDF’s Hermon Brigade from Beit Jann and Sgt. Shlomo Rindenow (20), a combat soldier from the IDF’s Assaf Battalion who moved to Israel from the US as a lone soldier.

Tank commander in critical condition after being hit by cannon
A soldier was injured during a training accident at a military base in Southern Israel and was evacuated to a hospital in critical condition. The incident is being investigated and his family was notified.

idfaccident2.jpg


The IDF Spokesperson announced this morning (Tuesday) that a soldier was critically wounded during a training session at his military base in Southern Israel last night. The soldier was evacuated by helicopter to a hospital for medical treatment.

“His family was notified and the circumstances of the incident are being investigated,” added the IDF Spokesperson. An initial examination suggests that the accident was caused by a phenomenon known as the “barrel jump,” when the barrel of the cannon “jumps” because of an electrical malfunction. In this case, it appears that the cannon’s anvil hit the soldier’s head as he was in the tank’s turret.

The commander managed to exit the tank by himself but then collapsed. Other commanders in the area evacuated him on a stretcher to the helicopter.

Yesterday, another soldier was injured during a training accident at the IDF’s Mitkan Adam Base. The soldier was evacuated to a hospital for medical treatment in moderate-light condition after being hit by shrapnel in his back.

This morning, IDF Comptroller Ilan Harari opened an extensive unannounced inspection ordered by IDF Chief of General Staff Gadi Eizenkot. The purpose of the inspection is to examine the importance of commanders in training as the figures in charge of shaping the soldiers with an emphasis on basic training and the transition from civilian life to the life of a soldier. In addition, the way commanders treat soldiers will be examined. Training bases from all IDF units will be inspected.

East Jerusalem: 6 members of ISIS terror cell arrested, indicted
It was cleared for publication that the Israel Police and Shin Bet arrested the members of an ISIS terror cell in East Jerusalem. The six terror cell members were indicted today.

It was cleared for publication today (Sunday) that the Shin Bet and Jerusalem District Police exposed an ISIS terror cell in East Jerusalem that planned to carry out terror attacks throughout the country. The terror cell members are all residents of the Shuafat refugee camp in East Jerusalem.

Indictments were filed against four of the terror cell members this morning at the Jerusalem District Court. Other indictments were filed this morning against two additional members at the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court.

The investigation indicated that the terror cell members were planning to carry out several serious and massive terror attacks throughout the country. Among other terror attacks, the members planned to abduct Israelis. According to one of the indictments, some of the members even traveled to Jordan and Egypt in order to join the murderous terrorist organization and receive training.

About a month ago, JOL reported that an Israeli court sentenced six Arab-Israelis to 2-6 years in prison for trying to establish an ISIS cell in Israel. The leader of the cell was an Arab-Israeli lawyer from Nazareth who worked as a public defender.
