Photo of the Day:
A bus on fire near Tekoa this afternoon after being hit by Molotovs thrown by Palestinian terrorists.
Here on israelstreet we daily report on “rock” and Molotov attacks on Israeli vehicles throughout Judea and Samaria.
Of course, the purpose of such attacks is to kill Israelis–either by setting the vehicle on fire or by causing the driver to lose control of his or her vehicle and crash.
Fortunately, in the above attack, no one was physically wounded because they were able to get off the bus before it exploded in flames; however, numerous passengers were treated for trauma.
The News On The Israeli Street
Palestinian terror in the last 24 hours . . .
Aside from the above attack at Tekoa, Palestinian terrorists in Judea and Samaria attacked with “rocks” and Molotovs at more than 25 locations yesterday such as Ma’ale Shomron, Adam, Mitzpe Yericho, Azzun, Gilboa, Moshav Gilgal, Luban A-Sharqiya, Al Khader, Peduel, and at various sites along Road 60.
Along the Gaza border, most of the violence was focused at Zikim where Palestinian terrorists hurled Molotovs, IEDs, and grenades at our soldiers–and attempted to breach both the land and maritime barrier. Fortunately, several dozen terrorists were wounded and a few were killed before they could wound and kill our soldiers.
PLO fruit basket turnover . . .
Palestinian Prime Minister Rami al-Hamdallah submitted his resignation to PLO Chairman (and Palestinian President apparently for life Mahmoud Abbas) yesterday. As we all know by now, resignations and threats of resignations are an integral part of the corrupt PLO bureaucratic structure. For all we know, Hamdallah may be back at “work” by this afternoon.
You can’t fly in our airspace even though you don’t need to . . .
Algeria and Tunisia let it be known yesterday that should PM Netanyahu visit Morocco in late March or early April, his plane will not be able to fly through Algerian and Tunisian airspace. Obviously, an Israeli plane flying to Morocco would simply fly down the Mediterranean anyway—but, as we all know, Arab countries have to blow their rejectionist horns at every opportunity.
Mazel tov! . . .
One of your humble servant’s favorite people, Yehuda Glick, was married yesterday to Hadas Disin.
Glick’s first wife, Yaffa, died on January 1, 2018 after suffering a severe stroke. Hadas is the head of Amitzim, a non-profit organization helping widows and orphans. Her first husband died 17 years ago. Yehuda and Hadas each have four children from their first marriages.
Yehuda and Hadas at their wedding.
Aside from the joyous wedding ceremony that took place, Yehuda went up to the Temple Mount, opened his phone, and proceeded to repeat Torah blessings via Whatsapp with his new wife while standing in front of the Kipat HaSela (aka the Dome of the Rock).
Of course, such a recitation of blessings is strictly prohibited by the Islamic Wakf and its cohorts the Israeli police, but on this occasion, the police looked the other way while Yehuda and Hadas repeated their blessings.
Mazel tov to the happy couple!
By the way, newly married people going to the Temple Mount has become an almost daily event. In 2017, bridegrooms and brides went to the Temple Mount; last year, in 2018, 333 grooms and brides ascended.

Israel and the cyber world . . .
Israeli cyber exports exploded last year to the tune of $5 billion dollars. At the same time, foreign investment in Israeli cyber projects surpassed $1 billion dollars–a 22% increase over the preceding year.
There are now more than 500 cyber companies in Israel.
Upon release of the above figures, PM Netanyahu rightly crowed: “Israel has far less than one percent of the world’s population, but we get more 20 percent of all cyber investments.”
TODAY’S BLOG:
Have Israeli Scientists Found A Comprehensive Cure For Cancer?
Your humble servant writes this blog today well aware of the old admonition that when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
Nevertheless, a startling revelation was made in Israel yesterday.
A group of scientists at AEBi, Advanced Evolution Biotechnologies Ltd., based in the renowned Weizmann Institute Technology Incubator in Rehovot, said that they are in the advanced stages of producing a cancer drug that “will offer a comprehensive cure for cancer” that will be ready for sale “within a year.”
The drug is called MuTaTo (multiobjective toxin). According to AEBi, it releases three peptides and a toxin which seek out and destroy cancer cells.
What is more–much more–is that the drug treatment regimen only lasts a few weeks, and produces “almost no side effects.”
Can this really be true?
A definitive “yes” answers Dr. Dan Aridor, Chairman of AEBi. And what is even more he says, the drug will be a generic and therefore much less expensive than current cancer drugs.
In the last month, AEBi has received a patent from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its new drug.
Like I said at the beginning of this blog today, this all sounds too good to be true. Let’s earnestly hope that MuTaTo is the miracle that AEBi says it is.

A student from Malawi, who had worked with an Israeli health volunteer in his country battling AIDS, came up to us as we walked down the street in the UC-Davis Picnic Day Parade and wanted to carry the Israeli flag.
