1. 'RIOTS WERE UNDER CONTROL, DOZENS WERE HIT'
by Kobi Finkler

On Tuesday afternoon, IDF Spokesperson Ronen Manlis addressed the riots that took place last night in the Gaza Strip, during which thousands of Palestinian Arabs damaged and set fire to the security fence along the Gaza Strip.

The rioters threw explosives and spray grenades, burned tires and threw stones at IDF soldiers.

In addition, one of the rioters crossed into Israel for a short period of time, setting fire to an abandoned military position near the fence. There were no casualties and only a camouflage net was damaged.

In the course of the violent riots, soldiers acted to prevent widespread infiltration into the country.

The IDF spokesman addressed claims that the riots were hidden from the public and from the media. "The incident was controlled by observation and fire from start to finish and at no point did it get out of hand," the IDF spokesman said. "The fighters hit dozens of rioters using riot control means and shooting at rioters in accordance with open-fire regulations."

"IDF forces will continue to act to ensure the security of the residents of the area in the face of various terrorist attempts, as they do all the time," added Brigadier General Manelis said.

2. HIGH COURT REJECTS PETITION TO RETURN TERRORISTS' BODIES
by Arutz Sheva Staff

The High Court of Justice rejected the petition of the families of the terrorists who murdered Rabbi Raziel Shevach and Adi Kolman, who demanded that their bodies be returned.

However, the rejection of the petition does not herald a change in policy on the part of the High Court of Justice, since the judges' decision holds that instead of filing a petition regarding each terrorist separately, one petition was filed demanding the release of the bodies of two terrorists.

The judges Mazuz, Elron and Barak Erez determined in their decision, "After reviewing the petition and the Respondents' response, we reached the conclusion that in the case before us, the petition should be summarily dismissed for the reason that the petition binds the case of two different petitioners."

They also note that there may be a different ruling when separate petitions are filed. "The aforesaid does not prevent the Petitioners from returning their case, in separate petitions, before this Court."

The judges mentioned in their decision the hearing in the High Court of Justice demanding the release of the bodies of terrorists, in which it was determined that the military commander does not have the authority to hold terrorist bodies for negotiations, but noted that the court accepted the State's request for a hearing in addition to the matter, and a delay in the carrying out of the judgment was allowed until the decision is given in the additional hearing.


3. MAZAL TOV, SIXFOLD
by Arutz Sheva Staff

A 45-year-old man, a married resident of Petah Tikva, filled six regular columns in the lottery for 17.40 shekels and won a million shekels, in a lottery held Saturday night.

The lotto followed the day on which Jews read the weekly Torah portion of "Breishit," which relates G-d's creation of the world in six days, and his rest on the seventh, Shabbat.

Asked why he sent six columns specifically, he replied that he sent the form on Friday, the sixth day of creation - six columns to express the six days.

"I discovered that I earned 1 million shekels while at work. From the moment I knew about it, I was smiling all the time, and the workers around me did not understand what had happened to me."

"My wife and I have plans of what to do with the money, a move to a bigger apartment, where I can raise my kids more comfortably in the future," he said.


4. 'ONE PALESTINIAN SHOT ME, ANOTHER SAVED MY LIFE'
by Arutz Sheva Staff

The survivor of a deadly terrorist attack in an Israeli industrial zone in Samaria earlier this week said her life was saved in part by an Arab worker who came to her aid shortly after she had been shot.

Fifty-four-year-old Sarah Vettori, one of the victims of this Sunday's terrorist attack on an office in the Barkan industrial zone in Samaria, credited her survival to the assistance of a Palestinian Authority resident employed in Barkan at a warehouse.

During the attack the terrorist, 23-year-old Ashraf Naalwa from the town of Shweika near the Palestinian Authority-controlled town of Tulkarem in Samaria, entered the offices of the Alon recycling company in Barkan while carrying an M-16 assault rifle.

Naalwa took two employees of the Alon facility captive, ordering an Arab worker to bind their hands with zip ties. The terrorist then shot and fatally wounded the two employees, who were identified as 28-year-old Kim Levengrond-Yehezkel of Rosh Ha'ayin, and 35-year-old Rishon Letzion resident Ziv Hajbi.

During the attack, Vettori was also shot by the terrorist but managed to escape and hide under an office table.

"The terrorist was standing in front of me and shot me," Vettori recalled. "As he was shooting me, I ran away back to the office and I hid underneath a table. I put my hand over the wound and saw that it was bleeding. All I could think about was how I needed to breathe, and that everything would be alright. Then I heard four or five more loud shots and I huddled under the table."

Naalwa followed Vettori into her office, but failed to find her as he searched the room.

"I saw that he came back to the office, and I saw his legs, his jeans, and his sneakers. But after a second he was gone and I was just in shock."

In an interview with Yediot Ahronot, Vettori said an Arab worker named Basel helped her stop the bleeding, and kept her conscious until emergency medical teams evacuated her to the hospital.

"One is a murderer and the other one saves lives," Vettori said. "Basel saved my life."

"I was vaguely conscious and Basel, who ran into the office where I was hiding, pulled me under the table and reassured me when he said 'My dear, my dear.' He stroked my face in an attempt to keep me conscious until the ambulance arrived."

After she was evacuated to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva, Basel called Vettori to check up on her, and to express his sadness at what had happened. Vettori noted that Basel had been hospitalized at a Palestinian Authority hospital for shock.

Vettori was released from Beilinson on Monday.


5. IS THE IDF SPOKESPERSON HIDING WHAT'S HAPPENING IN GAZA?
by 103FM

Military correspondents Tal Lev Ram (Maariv) and Yossi Yehoshua (Yediot Aharonot) spoke in an interview with 103 fm about the security situation near the Gaza security fence and the daily disturbances, warning of an exceptional and severe incident that will develop from the demonstrations, and accusing the IDF Spokesperson of hiding the situation from the public.

Yehoshua claimed that the information was hidden from the public and estimated that this was by order of the higher army ranks. "It is clear that there is concealment here, and the IDF Spokesperson is not reporting incidents of sovereignty violations anymore. There had been a policy of doing so so far. In the preceding period, the IDF allowed reporters to enter the first line of confrontation with the snipers. When the IDF wanted to present the subject to the world and tell the story of the confrontation, it allowed us to enter. Now the army does not allow the entry into the closed military area and we cannot report what is happening. In my opinion, this is a policy of concealment which comes from the higher echelons. I don't have the official order on this, but I notice the spirit of things."

Tal Lev Ram added: "The head of Southern Command believes in this and says it publicly to journalists. I personally took the car at the end of the week and went south, and I can testify that there is almost no international press there. There is only one observation point. In my opinion there is something deeper here. It is not easy for anyone to talk about the Gazan mud, it immediately becomes political. On the military level, an approach has developed that the more we deal with what is happening in Gaza, it will give the enemy's consciousness tailwind to continue the events."

"There are two scenarios that could happen," he added."The first and most serious thing for me as an Israeli citizen is that the Gazans will penetrate the borders of the State of Israel and Israeli civilians and soldiers will be harmed. The second scenario is that in the end there will be 70-80 Palestinians killed along the fence because they did not take the actions that needed to be done. These are events that happen all the time, there are videos in which the Palestinians dismantle the fence, and it is a matter of time before they burst in and run toward Israel. "

On assessments of escalation and another operation in Gaza, he noted, "The worst thing in the world of deterrence is to say one thing and to do another. We cannot say to the public, 'After the holidays we will act,' and then not do it. It's not just a military matter, but a political matter. The one changing the rules of the game is not Israel, but Hamas, and Israel is not carrying out an appropriate policy."


6. ANCIENT INSCRIPTION FROM SECOND TEMPLE PERIOD DISCOVERED
by Arutz Sheva Staff

An exciting archaeological discovery uncovered in Jerusalem was presented for the first time Tuesday at a press conference of the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) and the Israel Museum. It is a stone inscription from the Second Temple period (1st century BCE), which marks Jerusalem's name in Hebrew letters in full spelling - as is written today.

The inscription was discovered last winter near Binyanei Ha'uma in the capital, in an excavation conducted by IAA archaeologist Danit Levy before the paving of a new road. During the excavation foundations of a building from the Roman period that was supported by column sections were exposed. The crowning glory was a round stone column that was incorporated into the Roman building repeatedly with an Aramaic inscription in Hebrew letters, typical of the Second Temple period, around the reign of Herod.

This is the language of the exposed inscription:

Hananiah Bar
Dudalus
From Jerusalem

The Jerusalem Archaeologist at the Antiquities Authority, Dr. Yuval Baruch, and Prof. Roni Reich of the University of Haifa, who read and studied the inscription, say that "the inscriptions from the First and Second Temples that mention the name 'Yerushalem / Yerushalayim [Jerusalem] are very rare. They said it is rare to find the name Jerusalem in full script as is customary today. "In fact, this is the only stone inscription from the Second Temple period recognized in studies, which mentions the name Jerusalem in full spelling."

"Such an occurrence is known only once during the Second Temple period, on a coin from the time of the Great Revolt against the Romans (66-70 CE). The scarcity of the name in the full spelling is also evident from the Bible, where the city appears 660 times, and only in 5 cases, relatively later, is the spelling full."

"The archeological context of the inscription does not suggest a solution to the question of on which building it was originally inscribed, or who Hananiah bar Dudalus was, but it is likely that he was a potter, son of a pottern, who adopted a nickname from Greek mythology, after Dedalus, the legendary artist," said Dudi Mevorach, a senior archaeologist at the Israel Museum. "It is interesting that he chose to add to his family lineage his origin from neighboring Jerusalem, as well."


7. NAMES OF BARKAN ATTACK VICTIMS CLEARED FOR PUBLICATION
by Arutz Sheva Staff

Kim Levengrond-Yehezkel, 28, from Rosh Ha'ayin, is the Israeli who was murdered in the terror attack this morning in the Barkan industrial zone.

An initial investigation revealed that a PA man who worked in the factory tied her hands and those of another man, and shot them at close range. They were critically wounded and later confirmed dead. Security forces are pursuing the terrorist who managed to escape from the scene.

Levengrond-Yehezkel began working at the factory a year ago, as a receptionist for the deputy CEO of the company. She leaves behind her husband, Guy, and her one-and-a-half year-old baby, Kai.

The name of the man who was murdered in the attack at the Barkan recycling plant was later revealed as Ziv Hajbi, 35, of Rishon Letzion.

A 58-year-old woman who was moderately wounded is hospitalized at Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva.
