TEEN INJURED IN BOMBING ATTACK RELEASED FROM HOSPITAL by Arutz Sheva Staff 📹 To watch the video: https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/268280 The Israeli teenager who was seriously injured in a bombing attack in Samaria last month has been discharged from the hospital, following improvements in his condition. Nineteen-year-old Dvir Shnerb was discharged from Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center in Jerusalem Monday afternoon, days after his father, 46-year-old Rabbi Eitan Shnerb, was released. As he left, Dvir thanked the Hadassah doctors and nurses, the field care providers, MDA and the rescuers and everyone who prayed for his wellbeing. Dvir, his father Eitan, and his 17-year-old sister Rina, were hit when a three-kilogram bomb was remotely detonated by Arab terrorists while the three Israelis were hiking near the Ein Bubin spring outside of Dolev in southwestern Samaria. Rina was killed in the blast, while Dvir and Eitan suffered serious and moderate injuries, respectively. Dvir sustained injuries to his stomach, after he was struck by shrapnel, requiring emergency surgery to remove the metal fragments. Last Monday, the IDF announced that it and the Shin Bet internal security agency had located and captured the terrorists responsible for the bombing attack. 2. SHAKED: 'CLEAR THAT LIKUD IS PREPARING TO BRING IN BLUE & WHITE' by Arutz Sheva Staff Yamina chairwoman Ayelet Shaked spoke on Monday about the Likud party's campaign, noting that the Likud is "careful to attack" Blue and White leader MK Yair Lapid, but not Blue and White Chairman MK Benny Gantz. Speaking at the Calcalist economic conference in Tel Aviv, she emphasized, "It's clear that they're preparing the ground for bringing Gantz into a Netanyahu government." "Benny Gantz will not be prime minister," she estimated. "We will recommend [Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin] Netanyahu, and I hope that he will form a government with us. History has proven that he first talks with the left-wing parties." On Sunday, Shaked called on Netanyahu to focus on enlarging the size of the bloc, instead of attacking his natural partners. On Friday, she emphasized that Netanyahu's attacks on the New Right are what caused the right-wing bloc to lose its majority in April's elections and led to the need for new elections. "I call on Netanyahu to immediately cease his campaign against Yamina, and to focus on enlarging the bloc. Netanyahu's attacks on us in the previous elections prevented the right-wing bloc from having a 61-seat majority. Netanyahu - don't repeat the same mistake," she said then. 3. WATCH: HASIDIC JEWISH COUPLE HARASSED ON UK TRAIN by Marcy Oster, JTA 📹 To watch the video: https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/268279 An identifiably Jewish couple was harassed about Israel’s treatment of Gaza during a train ride in Manchester, England. The anti-Semitic rant against the couple, dressed in Hasidic garb, was filmed by another passenger in the Metrolink on Thursday night, the Manchester Evening News reported. The man called across the train car to the couple, asking them: “Does he know about the situation in Gaza?” The man, who said he was from “Palestine,” was challenged by other passengers but continued his tirade. “I’m just asking one single question,” he said. “How is that an inflammatory question?” The woman, 27, who filmed the incident told the Manchester newspaper that she reported it to the Community Support Trust, an organization for reporting anti-Semitic hate crime. 4. 'THEY ATTACKED HER, ABUSED HER, AND LOCKED HER UP' by Arutz Sheva Staff The Central District Prosecutor's Office on Monday afternoon submitted an indictment to the District Court against the parents of a 7-year-old girl from Lod. Originally reported to be 5 years old, the girl was found tied in her home's bathroom last month. Both she and her mother are in Israel illegally. The indictment charges the parents with several counts of abuse by a caregiver together, attacks which caused serious bruising committed by a caregiver against a minor, neglect of a minor by a caregiver, and unjustly locking someone up together. The crimes were committed over a lengthy period of time, most of them within the past year. In addition, the father is charged with crimes of polygamy. The facts from the indictment reveal a large number of violent incidents, alongside serious abuse and negligence. Among other things, the parents are accused of attacking their daughter with their hands and with objects which caused burns and serious injuries over every part of their child's body. The parents abused their daughter by showering her with burning water, locked her in her room or the bathroom, and bound her hand and foot with a rope until she suffered serious bruises. In addition, the parents deprived her of food and did not ensure she received proper medical care. They also left her alone at home without proper supervision. When the girl lived at home with her parents, her mother attacked her and shoved her in the back down a flight of steps, causing her to break her left arm. The Prosecutor's Office has requested that the parents remain under arrest until the completion of the proceedings against them. Initially, the father's attorney, Hai Uzan, told 103 FM Radio, that the parents "deny the charges, the abuse, and everything that is believed to have occurred in their apartment." "Their version is that they left the apartment with their youngest three children, allowing the girl to sleep and relying on the neighbors to keep an eye out for her. At some point they received a phone call from a neighbor who had arrived at the building, He called the father to say that he heard screams from the apartment. The father immediately left everything and ran home, where he met police officers." 5. HEZBOLLAH ATTACKS WEREN'T RETALIATION FOR 'ISRAELI DRONE ATTACK' by Arutz Sheva Staff Hezbollah's attacks on Israel were not, in fact, a response to the "drone attacks" in Beirut which were attributed to Israel, Asharq Al-Awsat reported. According to Asharq Al-Awsat, Hezbollah's attacks on Israel were a response to the deaths of two Hezbollah terrorists in Syria over a week ago. This would corroborate last week's report in Kuwait's Al Rai newspaper, which quoted the "Opposition Force" sources as saying that Hezbollah aimed to exact a price similar to the one it paid, by taking the lives of two or three Israelis. The report also said Hezbollah plans to retaliate for the "drone attack" by shooting down an Israeli drone. On Sunday, Hezbollah, a Lebanon-based terror group,attacked Israeli military targets near Avivim and Kibbutz Yir'on in northern Israel. No one was injured. Israel responded by sending warplanes and artillery to attack 50 targets in southern Lebanon. 6. 'MULTIPLE HITS': MISSILES FIRED FROM LEBANON AT NORTHERN ISRAEL by David Rosenberg Multiple projectiles were fired from Lebanese territory into northern Israel, landing in or around the town of Avivim, near the Israel-Lebanese border, the IDF reported Sunday afternoon. According to the preliminary IDF report, the projectiles were anti-tank missiles, which were fired at army vehicles near the border, as well as an IDF base. An IDF spokesperson said that there were “a number of hits” scored by the missile attack from southern Lebanon, but did not specify if there were any casualties. “A number of anti- tank missiles were fired from Lebanon towards an IDF base and military vehicles. A number of hits have been confirmed.” Israeli forces “returned fire at the source of the fire and at targets in southern Lebanon,” the IDF spokesperson continued. The Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the attacks, adding that it had destroyed an IDF vehicle. Hezbollah “destroyed a military vehicle on the road to the Avivim barracks, killing and wounding those inside," the terror group said in a statement. The IDF has ordered that all towns four kilometers or less from the Lebanese border be placed on alert, instructing residents to remain indoors and ordering the opening of public bomb shelters. Residents have not yet been instructed to evacuate to nearby bomb shelters, however, with the IDF adding that sirens will be sounded should evacuation become necessary. The IDF has also ordered farmers to cease all activity near the Lebanese border, and has asked drivers to avoid travel on intercity roads in the four-kilometer border zone. The missiles were fired two days after Hezbollah vowed to attack Israel following an alleged Israeli attack on a facility in Beirut on August 25th. A report by Kuwait's Al Rai claimed that Hezbollah planned to strike Israeli targets within 72 hours, beginning last Friday. 7. HOW IDF MANEUVER TRICKED HEZBOLLAH by Kobi Finkler 📹 To watch the video: https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/268238 An IDF helicopter evacuated soldiers from the northern border to Rambam Hospital in Haifa on Sunday afternoon following the firing of anti-aircraft missiles from Lebanon towards Israel by Hezbollah despite the fact that soldiers were uninjured. The IDF wanted to create a "fog" on the Lebanese side to allow Hezbollah to flaunt its achievement and meanwhile carried out a massive assault on Hezbollah. In Israel, it was hoped that granting an "achievement" to Hezbollah would allow the incident to end quickly and prevent a deterioration to war. Videos showing the helicopter with the injured soldiers were distributed on social media, and about an hour after the incident an IDF spokesman officially announced that there were no casualties among IDF soldiers. "Soldiers who arrived by helicopter were examined in the Rambam emergency room and released without medical treatment," an official hospital statement said. After the attack and the assassination of terrorists, Prime Minister Netanyahu said: "At this moment I can announce important news - we have no casualties. No one was wounded – not even a scratch." Earlier on Sunday, the IDF reported: "Two hours ago, a number of anti-aircraft missiles were fired from Lebanon toward an IDF base and a military vehicle in the town of Avivim. A number of hits have been confirmed. The IDF responded with artillery fire toward the source of the fire, aircrafts attacked the anti-aircraft squad." "The IDF continues to maintain a high level of preparedness - defensive and offensive - for a wide range of scenarios. The restrictions on the civilian area have been removed, with the exception of agricultural work close to the perimeter fence." 8. ISRAEL TO DEPORT JEWISH CONVICT TO YEMEN by Cnaan Liphshiz, JTA An Israeli judge ordered the deportation of a Jewish convicted sex offender back to his native Yemen in a precedent-setting ruling. The Makor Rishon daily reported Friday about the case of Avraham Salem Alhadad, who immigrated to Israel in 2007 on a student visa. Alhadad’s visa expired while he was serving a 5 1/2-year prison term handed down in 2014 for molesting and sexually assaulting a minor from his own family. The former student of a religious seminary, or yeshiva, in Bnei Brak was declared an illegal alien upon his release this year. His application to be naturalized under Israel’s Law of Return for Jews and their relatives was denied citing his criminal record. His application for asylum, based on his claim that his leaving Yemen in 2007 for the Jewish state would expose him to persecution there, also was dismissed. Last week, a judge ordered the Interior Ministry, which was seeking Alhadad’s deportation to Yemen, to detail how it intended to deport him to a country with which Israel has no diplomatic relations. According to Makor Rishon, Israel has never deported a Jewish person to Yemen or any other Arab country. Until the deportation plan is presented, Alhadad, who is married and has a 6-year-old son in Israel, is being held at the Givon detainment facility for those staying in Israel illegally. | |
