What happened: Two incidents on the Israel-Lebanon border on Wednesday raised the tension between Israel and Hezbollah.

·        In the first incident several men approached the border fence in the area close to Zarit. According to the IDF, Israel deployed “non-lethal” measures to prevent them from damaging the fence.

·        According to the IDF, “a number of suspects approached the border fence with Lebanon and attempted to tamper with the barrier. IDF forces immediately identified them and employed measures to push them back.”

·        The IDF released surveillance footage showing four people approaching the border fence, and running away after an explosion.

·        According to Lebanese reports, three men thought to be Hezbollah operatives were taken to a nearby hospital in Tyre.

·        In the second incident, a number of suspects approached the security fence in the area near Metulla. They threw rocks and started a fire adjacent (on the Lebanese side) close to the security fence. IDF soldiers fired warning shots into the air, and the suspects withdrew.

Context: Tension has been growing for the last month, since Hezbollah placed two tents south of the Blue Line (inside Israel) in the Mount Dov / Sheba farms area.

·        Israel has so far used diplomatic channels (with the US, UN and France) which led to one of the tents being dismantled.

·        Later on Wednesday, Hezbollah leader Nasrallah made a speech, marking the 17^th anniversary of the start of the second Lebanon war. Nasrallah warned Israel that Hezbollah would retaliate if the IDF were to remove the tent that remains. According to Nasrallah, the tent is inside Lebanon and he is demanding the removal of the fence Israel built around the northern part of Ghajar.

·        Ghajar is an Alawite village, on the Lebanese, Syrian, Israeli border, captured by Israel in 1967. In 1981 it was annexed by Israel and its residents offered full Israeli citizenship. The village’s northern neighbourhood has since expanded into Lebanon. The UN recognises the Blue Line runs through the village, but Israel has built the fence around the northern perimeter to ensure security.

·        Earlier in the week, US envoy Amos Hochstein met with Prime Minister Netanyahu to update on US efforts to deescalate the tension.  It was Hochstein that brokered the Israel-Lebanon maritime agreement last year.

·        Hochstein’s visit has been interpreted as a sign of a dual US approach to Israel. Whilst the Biden administration in unhappy about Israeli government’s domestic and West Bank policies, they have shared concerns when it comes to regional security.

·        As well as the erection of the tents, last week an anti-tank missile was fired close to Ghajar border area.

·        In recent months Hezbollah has set up numerous observation posts, permanent and semi-permanent structures along the border.

·        There is concern that Israel’s enemies interpret the country’s current internal divisions as a moment of weakness and will seek to exploit the security situation.

Looking ahead: US envoy Hochstein is expected to meet Lebanese political leaders in the days ahead, as part of his shuttle diplomacy to reduce tension and avoid a military conflagration.

·        Following the incidents on the border, Defence Minister Gallant said, “Anyone who tests us will get a response. We have a lot to do, and we will know how to do what is needed at the right time.”

·        The IDF believes that Nasrallah will not instigate an all-out war but may be willing to risk several days of fighting, the consequences of which are unknown, but include fears of a wider conflict.

Media Romanticize Terrorists and Their Dreams of ‘Martyrdom’

Spraying bullets at a group of Jewish worshipers, planning a pipe bomb attack in Tel Aviv and kidnapping a gravely-injured Druze teenager are apparently just some of the activities The Times of London’s diplomatic correspondent Catherine Philp considers to be part of “Palestinian resistance to Israel’s occupation of the West Bank.”

We must assume that Philp believes attacking unarmed civilians is a legitimate act of so-called “resistance” or she would not have used the word no fewer than seven times in only 15 paragraphs to describe the undertakings of the Jenin Battalion and Lions’ Den terrorist groups, which are behind scores of deadly attacks.

In the piece, ‘I was ready to die, says Palestinian fighter hit by drone strike,’ Philp strikes a creepily sympathetic tone as she introduces readers to the “new generation in the Palestinian armed resistance,” including teenage “fighter” Harbosh whose face, Philp observes, is “pockmarked by acne” as he is interviewed from his hospital bed recalling “how close he came to martyrdom” during the IDF’s recent counterterrorism raid in Jenin.

While giving a brief history of the Jenin Battalion, Philp describes this “militant coalition that has sprung up and thrived in the squalid surroundings of the Jenin camp where this week Israel began its largest military operation in the West Bank in two decades.”

She goes on to claim the group consists “overwhelmingly” of members aged between 16 and 22, all of whom have a “burning sense of grievance” having “grown up in an era when prospects for peace were in effect dead, in a moribund economy with few jobs, their only heroes martyrs whose images blanket the camp’s alleys.”

Aside from the obvious problem of Philp’s framing of Jenin terrorists as disenchanted youngsters with little choice in life other than to pick up an M16 rifle and start shooting, the presentation of the Jenin Battalion as a sort of grass-roots youth movement is simply bizarre.

After all, the terrorist group is well-funded by Iran (which Philp acknowledges) and comprises operatives from Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades (which Philp ignores).

Indeed, the whole piece is replete with language that serves to glorify and justify Palestinian terrorism, from Philp’s quoting the uncle of one Jenin Battalion member who gushes that the new “generation is more dangerous than the previous one,” to her subtly romanticizing the “daring [Gilboa] jailbreak.”

The piece, unfortunately, appears to be part of a trend in which media outlets publish strange terrorism puff pieces following the Jenin raid.

For example, The Economist recently promised to take its readers “inside the Lions’ Den,” which it described as the “West Bank’s Gen Z fighters.”

The piece, which describes the group that planned a large-scale terror attack in Tel Aviv as a “Palestinian armed-resistance group,” is packed with jarring statements that appear to whitewash the motivations and actions of a group that has repeatedly sought to maim and murder innocent Israelis.

Among the most troubling lines in the financial magazine’s feature are the framing of the Jenin raid to destroy terrorist infrastructure as the “most aggressive assault on the West Bank in over two decades”; describing confirmed terrorists as “Palestinian resistance fighters;” reimagining the Second Intifada as a mere “uprising” in which Nablus became the “center of opposition” and claiming Lions’ Den terrorists are primarily motivated by their “frustrations with the Israeli occupation and an enfeebled PA,” as opposed to a blind hatred of Israelis and Jews.

Meanwhile, Sky News ran a piece about a “bullish” Hamas, which it suggested was a part of the “resistance.” Like Philp at The Times, one must wonder which Hamas-perpetrated suicide bombings Sky News’ Alex Rossi thinks constitute resistance.

Lastly, The Sunday Times was guilty of leaving crucial context out of a piece about bereaved Israeli and Palestinian families.

While the piece quotes the mother of a Palestinian man who died in Jenin in January, including a reference to her insistence that her son was “merely throwing rocks at Israeli troops” when he was killed, it fails to include the fact that he was claimed by the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades and had reportedly opened fire on the IDF just before his death.

The media’s recent tendency toward glamorizing terrorists is a disturbing trend.

And while journalists are free to write about whomever they want — regardless of how beyond the pale they are — editors should ask themselves why they seem to only give Palestinian terrorists a free pass.

"BBC" Laps Up Amnesty’s Latest Anti-Israel Hit Job

Video Of The Week - PA. Does NOT Control Jenin https://tinyurl.com/3r2yc25h

 Carrying on its long tradition of unfairly attacking Israel, Amnesty International has published another hatchet job masquerading as a serious investigation this week.

 The report, “Israel/OPT: Civilian deaths and extensive destruction in latest Gaza offensive highlight human toll of apartheid,” accuses Israel of committing a war crime in its pursuit of Islamic Jihad terrorists in the Gaza Strip last month.

 As is the usual fashion when it comes to Amnesty, the 1,300-word denunciation of Israel exercising its legally-sanctioned right to defend itself is replete with hyperbole, distortions and outright lies — the latter demonstrated in Amnesty repeating its well-worn libel that Israel is an apartheid state.

 Given that Amnesty so clearly has an anti-Israel axe to grind, one would think that reputable news organizations, like the BBC, which prides itself on its commitment to impartiality, would take anything published on the Amnesty website with a pinch of salt.

 Alas, not so.

 Instead, the BBC has regurgitated almost word-for-word Amnesty’s most damaging allegations surrounding Israel’s role in the May conflagration, including Amnesty’s claim that the IDF mounted “disproportionate air strikes which killed Palestinian civilians.”

 Of course, and this should go without saying, there is nothing disproportionate about killing terrorists who are planning to launch attacks on Israeli civilians.

 In the piece, ‘Amnesty: Possible war crimes in recent Israel-Gaza fighting,’ the BBC’s Middle East desk correspondent David Gritten quotes at length Amnesty’s repeated claim that Israeli strikes to take out Islamic Jihad commanders were excessive, as well as the NGO’s malicious assertion that the risk to civilians in Gaza was “likely disregarded” by those in Israel who “planned and authorised the attacks.”

 While Amnesty may have convinced most journalists that it is an unimpeachable source of information, the BBC should really have examined the organization’s sad and sorry history of getting things wrong or letting its ideologically-driven leanings interfere in conflicts that it apparently knows very little about.

 For example, Amnesty was widely criticized last year when it released a report that accused the Ukrainian military of endangering civilians by “establishing bases and operating weapons systems in populated residential areas, including in schools and hospitals” — apparently forgetting that Ukraine was forced to position soldiers in urban areas to avoid being completely overrun by invading Russian troops and to protect those very Ukrainian civilians in the path of Russia’s military.

 Unsurprisingly, when Islamist terrorists plant rockets inside and underneath civilian centers in Gaza, Amnesty has very little to say in the way of condemnation.

 However, the most worrying aspect of the article is Gritten’s abject failure to probe the veracity of Amnesty’s allegations, as any serious journalist should.

 If he had, he would have noted that Amnesty’s claim that Israel started the five days of fighting, is complete and utter fiction. As HonestReporting has repeatedly pointed out, Operation Shield and Arrow was launched in response to a barrage of rocket fire from the Strip after Islamic Jihad terrorist Khader Adnan eventually died in an Israeli prison following a protracted hunger strike in a bid to secure his release.

 Gritten also appears to go to great lengths to clean up Islamic Jihad’s image, particularly by not bothering to mention that the group is an internationally-recognized terrorist organization that has been proscribed by pretty much the entire Western world, including the United Kingdom where the BBC is based.

 Indeed, Gritten even prominently features the group’s “spokesman” Tariq Salmi saying Islamic Jihad welcomed Amnesty’s report, which “proves that the occupation [Israel] was the one that began the aggression by committing grave crimes.” This, while not mentioning the fact that the group’s sworn goal is the annihilation of the Jewish state using “the Jihad solution and the martyrdom style as the only choice for liberation.”

 As an independent organization, Amnesty International is free to publish as many unfair screeds about Israel as it likes.

 As a state-funded broadcaster tasked with delivering non-partisan news coverage to millions, the BBC should robustly challenge Amnesty’s biased bilge.

HOW SOCIAL MEDIA BOOSTS TERRORISTS’ RECRUITMENT OF MINORS

Video Of The Week - Israeli Researchers Create Biodegradable Plastic - https://tinyurl.com/3cyabcf8

Social media networks are being exploited by Palestinian terror factions to boost recruitment of minors, according to an Israeli military source. The source noted that although the trend of recruiting minors is not new, its current form and scope are both relatively new phenomena.

In 2004 during the Second Intifada, 16-year-old Hussam Abdo, who was stopped at a Huwara military checkpoint wearing a suicide-bomb belt, made headlines across the globe. Since then, however, the smartphone revolution and the arrival of social media networks have created many new recruitment opportunities.

The military source said that while in the past, incitement in Palestinian education and informal educational systems was the main vehicle for terror recruitment, today, the device in every minor’s possession is a potential recruitment tool.

In 2019, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres issued a statement calling on Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and others to cease targeting Palestinian minors for recruitment. Needless to say, his call fell on deaf ears.

Terror organizations continue to go after Palestinian children and teens of all ages, though they especially target teenagers.

The Israel Defense Forces has monitored efforts by the local Lions’ Den terror group, based in Nablus, to target for recruitment youths with no previous organizational affiliation by exposing them to incitement to violence. The group has skillfully used platforms like TikTok to encourage youths to arm themselves and join the group.

 “Social media networks are used for two goals. One is for recruitment— minors are told to meet terror operatives, to join such and such activity— and the second is for incitement. Jews and Israelis are described as evil Zionist occupiers and youths are encouraged to turn to violence,” said the source.

While established terror organizations like Hamas and PIJ use social media networks to advance their narratives via longer videos, it is the localized factions in Samaria that are most adept at producing the short TikTok videos that speak to the youngest generation, according to the source.

Meanwhile, in Palestinian Authority-run schools—which are partially funded by countries such as the United States and Germany—children take part in plays that simulate the kidnapping of IDF soldiers or the killing of Israeli civilians.

School books describe demonic “Zionist enemies” to impressionable young children, and yet another generation grows up lacking any cognitive educational foundation for peaceful conflict resolution.

Twenty-four Palestinian schools in Judea and Samaria are named after terrorists, including Abu Daoud, the Black September mastermind behind the 1972 Munich massacre of Israeli athletes taking part in the Olympics. 

With the Palestinian Authority paying salaries to imprisoned terrorists and compensating the families of “martyrs,” the messaging to Palestinian youths is clear. In P.A.-run mosques, meanwhile, imams also incite to violence, meaning that Palestinian youths are being saturated with such messages from multiple directions.

According to IDF assessments, some 90 percent of Palestinian minors injured or killed during clashes with the IDF were combatants, the source said. “This means they were either armed or were hurling firebombs and rocks from close range, endangering the forces.”

“The other side, however, wants to present as many non-adult casualties as it can, and to leverage this in the international arena,” said the source. “And we see that this is working, in a terrible way.”

Israel Unveils first-ever Hypersonic Missile Interceptor

Israel continues to lead in the development of air defense systems, announcing the new ‘SkySonic’ hypersonic missile interceptor system.

Defense tech firm Rafael reveals first-ever hypersonic interceptor

Israel’s Rafael defense contractor unveiled Wednesday that it has been developing a first-of-its-kind anti-hypersonic missile defense system.

According to the company, the Sky Sonic interceptor missile, which has been in development for around three years, will be shown for the first time at the upcoming Paris Air Show next week.

The announcement comes after Iran earlier this month claimed it had developed a new hypersonic missile. Rafael officials said the company had only recently been given approval by the Defense Ministry to reveal the system.

Rafael said the Sky Sonic missile “represents a major technological leap in hypersonic missile defense.”

“Designed with exceptional maneuverability and high-speed capabilities, it effectively neutralizes hypersonic missiles [which travel at speeds of over five times the speed of sound] with unmatched precision and stealth,” it said.

The company could not provide a timeline as to when the missile will be ready to use but said it would be conducting first test flights in the near future.

Speaking to reporters, former minister Yuval Steinitz, chairman of Rafael, said the company had identified the potential hypersonic missile threat a number of years ago and began a research and development venture.

“We are following the developments and emerging threats in the current security context and are developing the most advanced defense systems,” he said.

Steinitz noted that the company’s David Sling medium-range air defense system — already in use by the Israeli military — can technically deal with hypersonic missiles, but said the new system is designed specifically to counter that threat.

“Project Sky Sonic is an innovative, unique development of its kind for the hypersonic weapon threat,” he said.

Hypersonic weapons, which fly at speeds in excess of Mach 5, or five times the speed of sound, could pose serious challenges to missile defense systems because of their speed and maneuverability. Iran described its new missile, the Fattah, as being able to reach Mach 15.

Most air defense systems operate up to an altitude of 20 kilometers, while anti-ballistic systems intercept targets outside of Earth’s atmosphere, generally above 70 kilometers.

The Sky Sonic system aims to intercept hypersonic threats within the 20-70 kilometer altitude range, where the incoming missile would likely maneuver to avoid being knocked down by traditional air defenses.

Rafael officials said the United States has shown interest in Sky Sonic.

Leo Dee to 'Post': Considering Lawsuit against CNN

Video Of The Week - Dershowitz: I will Represent Rabbi Dee against Amanpour & CNN, https://tinyurl.com/3eb3edz4 

For the full Article from the JPost go to - https://tinyurl.com/mpmcd97y

Dear David,

We have not met; however, you may have heard about my family. My wife Lucy and two beautiful daughters, Maia (20) and Rina (15) were recently and cruelly massacred by two Palestinian gunmen while driving on their way to a holiday on the Sea of Galilee during the festival of Passover. The gunmen swerved the car off the road until it stopped and then got out of their car and shot 20 bullets into my wife’s brain stem and 6th vertebra, Rina’s face and Maia’s leg. They all died from their wounds but not before Lucy donated all her organs to save five lives including one Muslim Arab Israeli in the North of Israel.

You, I understand, have recently had the honor of becoming the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery and the tenuous honor of becoming the de facto head of CNN.

As you know the founding fathers of Warner Bros. were Harry, Albert, Sam and Jack. They founded the company in 1923 and acted very bravely in the 1930s when they resisted a Hollywood ban on anti-Nazi films which was allegedly requested by Joseph Goebbels himself (chief propagandist for the Nazi Party) by way of the Nazi consul in Los Angeles, Georg Gyssling.

Harry, Albert, Sam and Jack would be turning in their graves today if they knew what Warner Bros was supporting in the Middle East.

CNN draws moral equivalence between victims of terror and families of killed terrorists

CNN is an organization that draws a moral equivalence between the innocent victims of terror, such as my wife Lucy and my daughters Maia and Rina, and the mother of a terrorist who was morally eliminated by Israeli forces in order to prevent him from murdering more innocent victims.

I know this, David, because of a conversation I had with the head of your Israel bureau, Richard Greene. When I asked him, “Do you think that it is morally equivalent to compare what happened to me to what happened to the mother of a terrorist?” Richard answered me, “Rabbi Dee, with great respect you are making an assertion that I do not agree with.” This is an appalling statement to someone, such as myself and my surviving three children, who have just been bereaved through a violent murderous attack by Iranian-backed Palestinian terrorists on three of our most precious family members. If CNN cannot admit that there is a moral difference between the murder in cold blood of three beautiful innocent women and the man who murdered them, then it can only be described as an evil organization.

AS YOU are well aware, this year, Freedom House, the world standard for measuring human rights for countries, granted the Palestinian Authority a score of 25 which means that it is not free. That means that the 2.5 million mostly Muslim Palestinians are denied basic human rights such as the freedom of speech, the freedom of religion and the freedom to vote by the Palestinian Authority. At the same time, Freedom House granted Israel a score of 77. That means that the two million Muslim Arab Israelis are granted full freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom to vote. The Palestinian Authority is exactly the sort of fascist regime that the original Warner Brothers fought to bring down.

In fact, David, if you look at the Freedom House scores around the Middle East you will find that Israel is the only free and democratic state in the region, surrounded by Gaza (score of 12), Iran (score of 14) and Syria (score of 1 – the lowest score in the world).

CNN seems to constantly try to draw a moral equivalence between these unfree regimes, where their local Muslim populations are effectively slaves to a corrupt elite, and Israel whose local Muslim population lives in freedom and democracy. And then they try to blame the troubles of the Middle East on Israel! How ridiculous!

It is obvious to any person with a high school diploma that the problem is most likely to come from the fascist regimes surrounding Israel, rather than the only free and democratic state in the region. And since CNN staff have University degrees, and many from Ivy League universities, it is clear that they are not misinformed, and so they must be intentionally misleading the public or just plain evil.

David, I would love to have the opportunity to meet with you and discuss this in more depth, along with some friends of mine who have been through different holocausts (including the one that I have been through myself). I believe that you have a good heart and you wish to do good in the world. Why else would you wish the stress of being the head of a major media giant?

So, before I commence a multi-billion-dollar lawsuit against CNN and Warner Bros., please agree to meet me, in London, Efrat, or NY, in the next week to discuss this in person. I do believe there is a solution of shalom (peace in Hebrew) that will accommodate all our needs – the need for truth, honest reporting, hope and human kindness. And, yes, you will continue to make large profits, possibly even larger ones, if you have three hours to hear what I have to say.

With love, Leo

The "AI" Revolution can put "Patients at the Centre of NHS.

 A robot shows patients around the emergency department at  Sourasky Medical Center,Tel Aviv. People register digitally, through facial recognition, then measure their own blood pressure, temperature and heart rate in “self-triage” booths. Patients are given a barcode and number to their phone, which they can track. The most serious cases are seen within minutes. Virtually no one waits more than an hour. This is the largest emergency department in the Middle East, with its own air raid shelter and special ventilation system to withstand biological attack. Patients flow efficiently. Data analysts monitor screens that show bed capacity and operating theatre slots, using artificial intelligence to predict surges in demand and reallocate staff.

The hospital is reinventing healthcare. Consultants use AI to improve diagnosis. Surgeons operate with headsets to visualize the inside of the patient’s body . Labs create precision medicine, linked to a person’s unique genetic code.3D printers make personalized waterproof casts.

In Israel they are revolutionising the system, using technology to empower patients, liberate doctors, improve efficiency and drive down costs. By harnessing data, they have been able to simultaneously personalise treatment and reduce burnout among staff. Doctors can instantly access a patient’s medical history through an electronic health record and individuals can book appointments, see the results of scans or order prescriptions using an app.

Innovation is celebrated. Clinicians are encouraged to think like entrepreneurs. More than 600 health tech companies gathered at the annual Biomed conference in Tel Aviv. I met an orthopedic oncology surgeon who designed a way of creating personalised surgical tools on a 3D printer, and a cardiologist who  developed an AI tool for non-specialists to accurately read heart scans.

Sheba Medical Center, Israel’s biggest hospital, has a portfolio of tech start-ups worth $2 billion. Founder doctors keep 35 per cent of the profits with a proportion also going back into patient care. Another $2 billion has been generated through collaboration with the private sector. Sheba has an entire virtual hospital, with hundreds of patients who are monitored remotely with wearable technology. Sensors in the ceiling use radar to check a patient’s heart rate, breathing pattern and whether someone is at risk of a fall. Even radiology can be done at home. The hospital is delivering equipment by drone and using robots to change sheets.

In Britain, the NHS reels from crisis to crisis. There is an appetite for reform .32 million people have signed up for the NHS app but 12 per cent of hospitals are still paper-based. Only a fifth of GP practices let patients see their medical records online. The NHS remains largely analogue. The computers are hopelessly out of date. There are multiple IT systems and no requirement for interoperability. There are at least 21 different types of electronic patient records  and 34 apps to book an appointment. The case for reform is overwhelming but innovators are being thwarted by the fragmented system or vested interests seeking to block reform. The BMA threatened legal action against plans to give patients automatic access to their medical records. Technology is a threat to the medical establishment because it will turn the relationship between doctor and patient on its head, allowing people to take back control over their own health.
