TERRORISTS WHO MURDERED RINA SHNERB CAPTURED by Arutz Sheva Staff Israeli security forces have captured the terrorists responsible for the bomb attack Friday which killed an Israeli teen and injured her father and brother. IDF forces working with the Shin Bet internal security agency captured the terrorists in a pre-dawn operation Monday morning, days after 17-year-old Rina Shnerb was killed in a bombing attack at the Ein Bubin spring outside of the Israeli town of Dolev in Samaria. Rina’s father, Rabbi Eitan Shnerb, was injured, as was Rina’s brother, 19-year-old Dvir Shnerb. The three, residents of Lod in central Israel, had been hiking in the area when a bomb concealed under a rock was detonated. According to a report Sunday night by Channel 12, the explosive device which killed Rina and injured her father and brother included some three kilograms of explosive material, making it an unusually powerful bomb. Israeli security forces arrested several Arabs in the Palestinian Authority-controlled town of Ein Arik near Qalqilya over the weekend as part of the manhunt for Shnerb’s killers. 2. PM: NEW NEIGHBORHOOD TO BE BUILT NEAR SCENE OF TERROR ATTACK by David Rosenberg Israel will build a new neighborhood near the scene of a terrorist attack last Friday which claimed the life of an Israeli teenager and left her father and brother injured. On Monday, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu directed the Director General of the Prime Minister’s Office to submit for Planning Committee approval at its next meeting, plans for the establishment of a new neighborhood in Dolev, near the Ein Bubin spring where a terrorist bomb killed 17-year-old Rina Shnerb last Friday, and injured her father, Rabbi Eitan Shnerb, as well as 19-year-old Dvir Shnerb. The new neighborhood will include approximately 300 new housing units, according to the plans drawn up by the Prime Minister’s Office. Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to “deepen” Israel’s roots in the area as a response to the attack. “We will deepen our roots and strike at our enemies. We will continue to strengthen and develop settlement.” Earlier on Monday, Israeli security forces captured the terrorists responsible for the deadly terror attack. 3. 'WE FEEL LIKE OUTSIDERS IN OUR OWN HOME' by Arutz Sheva Staff In the Gilboa Regional Council in northern Israel, 11 girls are waiting with anticipation to start the new school year - but they may not be able to. These girls spent over six wonderful years at their local Chabad school, Chabad Avital, but next year they may have no class, since not enough girls are registered. Their next-best option is the Chabad school in Nazareth Illit, but the Regional Council will not offer any assistance to help the girls to get to school safely. Instead, the Regional Council offered two solutions: Go to Ulpanat Tzvia, a private school located in Afula that does follow the same value system that the girls have learned up until now. Nine girls from the Regional Council learn there, and they enjoy a free bus to and from school. Or, take public transportation. With the lack of adequate public transportation in the Regional Council, this would mean that eleven-year-old girls would need to leave their homes at 6:30a.m. and return home at 7:15p.m. It also doesn't guarantee the girls will arrive on time in the morning. Concerned parents also noted that the bus the girls would take is the same bus which brings Palestinian Authority Arab workers into Israel at the Gilboa crossing - the closest crossing to Jenin, which is "the suicide bomber capital of the world." Last year, a few girls were able to get a ride with a special education bus that happened to travel the same route. This year, however, the Regional Council will not allow that option, and even if it did, it would not be possible for all 11 girls. According to parents, the Regional Council has no problem offering free buses to students who wish to learn at Ohel Meir, a religious public school in Afula, even though there is already a religious public school - Chabad Avital - in the area. "Even if we are only 1% of the population, we deserve 1% of the budget, but we get nothing..." one mother said. "We like were we live, but on paper it's sounds atrocious, our local Chabad school is second class, our children can't continue the education they start with, we have mikvahs that are underfunded and we have synagogues being threatened to be demolished, I won't even start on zero funding for any cultural events. "I really hate to say it, but our Regional Council does not support the religious residents. We are made to feel outsiders in our own home that we pay taxes on." In a Monday meeting with the parents, the Regional Council said there is nothing they can do about the situation. The Gilboa Regional Council did not return comment when contacted by Arutz Sheva. 4. NADLER HITS TLAIB, OMAR OVER CARTOON BY ANTI-SEMITIC ARTIST by Josefin Dolsten, JTA Rep. Jerry Nadler criticized fellow Democrats Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib for sharing a cartoon that shows President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu covering their mouths. Omar, D-Minn., and Tlaib, D-Mich., were criticized for sharing it last week because the cartoonist Carlos Latuff participated in an anti-Semitic Holocaust cartoon competition sponsored by an Iranian newspaper in 2006. Nadler, the House Judiciary Committee chairman from New York, grouped Omar and Tlaib’s move to share the cartoon alongside Trump’s recent comments about Jewish disloyalty. “The growing anti-Semitism in our political dialogue is repugnant. @realdonaldtrump’s comments about disloyalty are a vicious and dangerous anti-Semitic trope. And the Carlos Latuff cartoon forwarded by @RepRashida and @Ilhan can surely be read for its vile underlying message,” Nadler tweeted. The president said on Tuesday that Jews who vote for Democrats show “either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty.” In the cartoon Tlaib and Omar shared, both men are wearing blue suits and in between their outstretched arms is a Star of David. Taken as a whole, that pattern resembles the Israeli flag. The congresswomen shared the cartoon after Israel announced it had banned them from entering the country on a planned visit due to their public support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement targeting the Jewish state. Under Israeli law, BDS supporters can be prevented from entering the country. 5. THESE ARE THE TERRORISTS WHO WERE ELIMINATED IN SYRIA by Ido Ben Porat The IDF on Monday morning unveiled new details about two of the terrorists who were eliminated in Syria while trying to carry out a drone attack planned and led by Qassem Soleimani, head of the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. The first operative killed is Hasan Yousif Zbib from Nabatieh in Lebanon, born in 1996. The second operative killed is Yasir Ahmad Dahir from the Lebanese village of Blida, born in 1997. The operatives stayed in Iran many times over the past few years. As part of their stay, they underwent training through the Quds Force in operating unmanned aerial vehicles and killer drones. The IDF posted photos depicting one of their flights to Iran via "Mahan Air", for training purposes. The two operated during the last few weeks as part of the Shiite militias, under the command of the Quds Force, in order to carry out the drone attack against Israeli targets.

Also on Sunday, the IDF released footage from an attempted drone attack by Iranian-linked terrorists in southern Syria. In the video, Iranian Quds Force members can be seen carrying one of the drones from the failed attack from its planned launch site adjacent to the Syrian village of Arneh. IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi said on Sunday that Israel held Soleimani personally responsible for the planned attack on northern Israel over the weekend, adding that the attack would have included multiple unmanned warplanes against multiple targets in Israel. 6. WATCH: IRAN'S QUDS FORCE ATTEMPTS DRONE ATTACK ON ISRAEL by Arutz Sheva Staff 📹 To watch the video: https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/267881 The Israeli military released footage Sunday evening from an attempted drone attack by Iranian-linked terrorists in southern Syria last week. On Thursday, terrorists linked to Iran’s Quds Force in Syria attempted to launch a multi-pronged attack by explosive-laden drone aircraft on multiple targets in northern Israel. The bomb-carrying unmanned aircraft were to have crashed into targets in Israel in a kind of “kamikaze”-style attack, IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus said. Israeli forces foiled the attacks, the IDF said, without specifying how the drones were repulsed. In the video, Iranian Quds Force members can be seen carrying one of the drones from the failed attack from its planned launch site adjacent to the Syrian viliage of Arneh. On Saturday, Israeli aircraft struck Iranian military targets in the village of Aqraba, southeast of Damascus, where the drone operation was centered. At least five people were killed, including Hezbollah terrorists and at least one Iranian official, the London-based Syrian Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor group.

IDF REVEALS: IRAN ATTEMPTED DRONE KAMIKAZE ATTACKS ON ISRAEL by David Rosenberg Iranian forces stationed in Syria planned to use a number of unmanned aircraft carrying explosive material to crash into targets in northern Israel, the IDF said Sunday, adding that one abortive attempt was made to launch the attacks last week. On Sunday, IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus spoke with reporters and shared some details of the recent plot by Iranian-backed forces in Syria to attack northern Israel with drone aircraft. According to the Conricus, Iran’s Quds Force, part of the Revolutionary Guards, had been preparing for the attack for the past several months, and had recently dispatched four Iranian drone operators to Syria to remotely control unmanned Iranian aircraft during an attack on northern Israel. Each drone was to carry several kilograms of high-explosives, slip into Israeli territory, and then crash into Israeli targets – with each drone assigned to a separate target. The drones would thus serve effectively as unmanned suicide bombers, or "kamikaze drones" as Conricus described them, and would be destroyed in the attacks along with their targets. But Israeli intelligence had discovered the plot weeks ago, and kept track of the Iranian operation, which is said to have been personally overseen by Quds Force chief Qassem Soleimani. Conricus added that the Iranian forces in Syria even attempted to launch the attacks last Thursday, but said Israel managed to repulse the attempted infiltration. Conricus declined to specify how the attacks were thwarted. On Saturday, Israeli aircraft struck Iranian military targets in the village of Aqraba, southeast of Damascus, where the drone operation was centered. At least five people were killed, including Hezbollah terrorists and at least one Iranian official, the London-based Syrian Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor group. 8. 'TERRORISTS WERE HIDING IN VILLA WITH A POOL' by Arutz Sheva Staff Israel's military intelligence chief said Sunday afternoon that the IDF had thwarted a drone attack by Iranian proxies on Israel, thanks to a "substantial intelligence effort", adding that the attack was to have involved multiple “killer drones”. "Tonight, thanks to a substantial intelligence effort, an Iranian attack was thwarted and harm to Israel was prevented," said the Head of the Intelligence Directorate, Maj. Gen. Tamir Heyman, Sunday afternoon. "Iran's proxies attempted in the past few days to launch killer drones at Israeli territory. An intelligence effort exposed the preparations of the force lead by Soleimani, in an Iranian structure near Damascus and made possible the thwarting of the attack. The Quds Force is continuing its efforts to destabilize the region. We are continuing our effort to stop the Quds Force’s attempts to harm Israel and her citizens.” Heyman also noted that the terrorists behind the planned attack had been hiding inside a luxurious villa with a swimming pool in Aqraba, the Syrian town where the Iranian forces were operating. The statement came after Israel claimed responsibility for a series of strikes on Iranian and Iranian-linked targets in the town of Aqraba, southeast of Damascus, where the Iranian Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Force maintained facilities used to prepare for planned attacks on Israel. Late Saturday night the IDF reported that it had carried out the attacks on the Iranian facilities in Aqraba in order to thwart a planned attack by Iranian-backed drone units on northern Israel. Map showing site of foiled drone attack IDF spokesperson The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor group said Sunday that five people had been killed in the airstrikes, including at least one Iranian official and two Hezbollah terrorists. "The Israeli raids targeting Iranian and Hezbollah posts... in the southeast of Damascus killed at least three people -- two from Hezbollah and a third who was Iranian," Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman said. The Lebanese-based and Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorist organization claimed that two unmanned Israeli aircraft were shot down over Beirut Saturday night. While the Israeli government and military have not commented on the claim, some experts have suggested the downed drones may have been Iranian, not Israeli. | |
