There were lightning strikes all over the country.
As you can infer from the above photos, rain has come to Israel with heavy flooding expected today in the south.
The News on the Israeli Street
Palestinian terror in the last 24 hours in Judea and Samaria . . .
Palestinian terrorists threw Molotovs and “rocks” at the Neve Tzuf security fence last night in an effort to infiltrate the community.
Palestinian terrorists threw “rocks” at an ambulance attempting to evacuate an Israeli near Al-Aruv.
Palestinian terrorists threw “rocks” and Molotovs at Israeli motorists at the Bypass Junction in Gush Etzion, Tekoa, at the Yehuda Bypass Road at Halhul, at Hevron, Azzun, Beit Anun, Ma’ale Amos, and on Road 443, among other places.
Palestinian terrorists attacked IDF soldiers at Bethany.
Israel is now to blame for . . .
. . . pretty much everything. The latest burst is coming from the war in northern Syria where Turkey is now blaming Israel for supplying “poison-coasted” mortars to the Kurds.
Yes, you read that correctly.
But it shouldn’t be surprising. PM Erdogan has been blaming Jews and Israel for everything since he was a local politician decades ago. Back then, he found that it was an easy way to incite people to vote for him and to distract people from his shortcomings.
Turkish “journalist” and former colonel, Abdullah Buzkurt–who reports for the Turkish television channel owned by Turkish PM Erdogan–claimed today that he had definite proof that Israeli mortars are being used.
His commentary while on screen: ‘The YPG uses poison-coated mortars and this reporter holds a sliver in his hand as proof to show Erdogan television viewers . . . a Palestinian reporter from Gaza told him that Israel uses the same ones there against the Palestinians.”
The absurd sliver of evidence:

Elsewhere, forces are being aligned to stop Erdogan’s naked assault. 1500 Assad Syrian soldiers, along with 20 armored tanks arrived in Manbij yesterday to confront the Turks. Those soldiers and tanks were provided aerial support by Russian Su-35’s which chased away Turkish F-16s that were preparing to bomb and strafe them.
Germany, France, and The Netherlands have all announced that they will no longer sell weapons to Turkey (the UK apparently will continue selling), and President Trump has announced minor economic sanctions on Turkey in the form of increased steel tariffs and a breaking off of trade negotiations with the Turks.

The Nauseating Fraud of Hamas
Never has the nauseating fraud of Hamas been more on display than yesterday.
Bassim Naim, official Hamas spokesman and head of the terror organization’s Council on International Relations, tweeted yesterday about the attempted massacre at the synagogue in Halle, Germany.
In that Orwellian tweet, the terrorist Naim condemned the “sinful attack”, and went on to say that “terrorism is a danger to us all.” Then, he had the audacity to say that the pain felt by the families of the two people who were murdered in the attack pales to that felt by Palestinians who “feel the pain of terror most of all.”
By the way, and this is important insofar as Hamas is concerned, neither of the victims in Halle were Jews–they were both non-Jewish Germans.
Why is that important?
Hamas is a terror organization that urges attacks on synagogues around the world–particularly here in Israel where we all remember the attack at the Har Nof Synagogue in Jerusalem on November 18, 2014.
We can only imagine that if numerous Jews had been blown up or shot to death in the synagogue in Halle, Hamas would have organized parties in the streets of Gaza.
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.
