UPDATES 8 am Israel time:
…Palestinian terror unreported in the mainstream media…
The car the terrorists were driving.
Early this morning, a bulldozer (car ramming) attack took place near the Shuafat Checkpoint. Two Palestinians attempted to run over several Jerusalem policemen. One terrorist was shot and killed, the other moderately wounded.
All day yesterday, Palestinians attacked Israeli security personnel in riots that took place in Ras Al Amud, Shufa, Jericho, Silwad, and elsewhere.
All day yesterday, Palestinians attacked Israeli civilians with “rocks” and Molotov firebombs at such places as Hawara, Azzum, Beit Ummar, Zeita, Kfar Etzion, Efrat, Kiryat Arba, Rachel’s Tomb, Issawiya, Hevron, Pondok, Nahal Kafira, and El Aruv.
In the late afternoon, a mortar fired from Syria exploded in the central Golan Heights. No one was wounded; Israel retaliated by firing artillery shells at Syrian Army positions.
…The situation on Israeli roads goes from bad to worse….
As more and more cars hit the highways in Israel, this already car-dense country becomes ever-more a traffic nightmare.
In August, 27,489 new cars were sold in Israel putting Israel on schedule to pass the all-time yearly car sales record (220,253) this month.
What are the top five makes of cars that were sold in August?
In order from first to fifth: Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, Skoda, and Mitsubishi.
By the way, how many people have been killed on the roads of Israel so far this year? 245.
…Not only are cars increasing, but so are dogs...
You can’t go to a restaurant or cafe in Tel Aviv these days without numerous dogs all around (picture Haaretz).
Suddenly everyone (a slight exaggeration) in Israel has a dog. And with dogs comes dog poop.
Unfortunately, for every person that picks up after his or her dog, there are ten who do not. In some locales, the situation has become so bad, not to mention unhygienic, that municipalities are levying fines on owners who do not pick up after their pets.
How do they spot such owners? Undercover cops in civilian clothes are now patrolling parks and sidewalks at night.
Yesterday, Haifa increased the fine for non-pick up to 730 shekels, about $200.
…The Supreme Court will weigh in, again…
A typical street corner in Tel Aviv. Eritreans congregate (picture Times of Israel).
The Israeli Supreme Court has just announced that once again it will intercede in the matter of the “illegal immigrants” who now reside in Israel. Specifically, it will judge whether or not the government’s attempt to send such immigrants to a third country (and pay both the immigrants and the country involved) is legal or not.
As you may or may not know, south Tel Aviv is overrun with illegals mainly from Sudan and Eritrea, but also from elsewhere in Africa who made it to Israel before the fence was put up along the Egyptian Sinai border.
How many illegals are we talking about?
In 2013, there were about 65,000. Today, a mere three years later, that number has swelled to more than 100,000.
