Inner Ring (Countries or terror groups that border Israel)
Woman stabbed in terrorist attack in Beit Horon succumbs to her wounds
Woman killed, another wounded in terror stabbing in West Bank settlement store
Palestinian Twin Sisters Charged With Making Bombs to Attack Israelis
‘Israel’s electrical grid attacked in massive cyber attack’
“As Israelis cranked up their heaters during the current cold snap, the Public Utility Authority was attacked by one of the largest cyber assaults that the country has experienced, Minister of Infrastructure, Energy and Water Yuval Steinitz said on Tuesday.”
Gaza border residents renew complaints of underground tunnel digging
“Fears of resumed underground infiltration network construction by Gaza terrorists come amid reports that 8 Hamas operatives were crushed in a tunnel collapse.”
Stop the incitement, stop the killing
“Op-ed: Relentless Palestinian extremism has now even managed to persuade the center-left opposition that Israeli readiness for compromise is insufficient. What’s needed is a unified effort to stop the Palestinians filling their people’s heads with murderous hostility.”
Palestinian media spurring wave of terror
“Since the beginning of the current terror wave, Hamas’ Al-Aqsa TV and other Palestinian networks have been devoting nearly all their programming to lauding attacks and ‘martyrs’.”
David’s Sling: New Technology Will Handle Multiple Threats
“Designed with a capability for “classic” air defence missions, David’s Sling will probably replace the aging Patriot batteries. The IAF has evaluated the upgrade of the existing Patriot batteries to the PAC-3 configuration, but the investment is considered too big for the added capabilities.”
Outer Ring (countries or terror groups that are close to but not bordering Israel)
Syrian army takes key town near Israeli border in major breakthrough
“A Syrian army force under the command of Iranian and Russian officers has captured Sheikh Maskin, a key southern town near the Israeli border, thereby cutting off rebel groups east of Deraa from those deployed to the west of the town. DEBKAfile adds: Sheikh Maskin is the key to controlling the southern hub of the roads leading to the Jebel Druze town of Suwaida, the Golan town of Quneitra and Damascus. The town fell after Russian air strikes were resumed following an interruption caused by stormy weather.”
Facing threats and opportunity, Israel forges Mediterranean alliance
“As a result, a navy that was once mainly a coast guard has been bulked up with new vessels to protect Israel’s gas fields and defend the mainland from rocket attacks. And Israel is cultivating a military, economic, and diplomatic axis with Greece and Cyprus to cooperate on exploiting gas fields – while fending off rivals like Turkey and new regional players like Russia.”
Israeli defence minister accuses Turkey of buying IS oil
“Israel’s defence minister has accused Turkey of buying oil from the so-called Islamic State (IS) group, thereby funding the militants’ activities.”
This is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Turkey-ISIS collusion.
Israel interested in ties with Sudan, deputy defense minister says
“Led by President Omar al-Bashir since 1989, Sudan has been a vicious enemy of the Jewish state and a staunch ally of Iran, but recently had a falling out with Tehran over the latter’s involvement in Yemen. Earlier this month, Sudan cut diplomatic ties with Iran, following Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and other Sunni states. In 2009, Bashir was indicted by the International Criminal Court for atrocities committed in Darfur.”
Bible Prophecy
The Pre-Trib Rapture Under Attack
“The current U.N. Secretary-General, Ban Ki-Moon’s term is set to end on December 31, 2016. Barack Obama is available on January 21, 2017.”
Meanwhile…
It is curious how politicians blame all other causes of terror instead of the real cause….Islam.
12 UN Security Council resolutions against terror – 0 for Israel
“During the past four months, Israelis have been stabbed in their homes, shot at in the streets, and run over by terrorists using cars as weapons,” he fired. “During this period of time, the Council has adopted 12 resolutions against terrorism. Not once were the lives of Israelis murdered by terrorists recognized by this Council. The facts don’t lie. The Security Council has been hypocritical when it comes to Israel.”
Holocaust – ‘atheists at the heart of the problem’
“My worry is that the growing influence of rank atheism in Britain and Europe will have a bearing on the future of anti-Semitism. The poisonous view that God does not exist naturally leads to godless behaviour and thought, even among those previously tutored in godly ways. The result is that even some who claim to have faith, and who perhaps stand in pulpits, start believing the lie that is proclaimed so often through almost every strand of media.”
Christians Who Demonize Israel: Kairos
“Christian children are massacred, and everything is done in plain sight. Islamists proclaim on a daily basis that they will not stop until Christianity is wiped off the face of the earth. So are the world Christian bodies denouncing the Islamic forces for the ethnic cleansing, genocide and historic demographic-religious revolution their brethren are suffering? No. Christians these days are busy targeting the Israeli Jews.”
