On the Gaza border:
See Today’s Blog below.
In Judea and Samaria:
A stabbing was thwarted at the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hevron this morning when Border Guards disabled a knife-wielding Palestinian terrorist.

A sniper rifle, shotguns, and boxes of ammunition were seized at one location (photo: Israel police).
On the government formation scene . . .
We are now about 4 days from Wednesday’s midnight deadline for someone to come up with 61 signatures to form a new government.
Rumors abound:
Has PM Netanyahu has really offered Kahol Lavan a new deal which specifies that he will be prime minster first for a period of 4, 6, or 12 months followed by 18 months of Benny Gantz followed by another variable number of months of Netanyahu or another Likud leader?
Is Yuli Edelstein, the speaker of the Knesset, really attempting to garner 61 signatures to install himself as prime minister?
Will the Knesset avoid elections by passing a law calling for the direct election of prime minister?
Is Gideon Sa’ar making progress in his confrontation with Netanyahu within the Likud party?
And on and on.

Hamas Said It Would, Hamas Did,
The IDF Said Hamas Didn’t, The IDF “Attacked” Hamas
It has been another pathetic sequence of events along the Gaza border in the last 15 hours.
Around 6 pm last night, Hamas released a statement that Israel could shortly expect a “blast” of missiles because of Israeli “aggression at the Al-Aksa Mosque” yesterday (what “aggression” was unclear since there no reports of clashes of any type).
At 8:54 pm last night, true to its word, Hamas fired yet another missile barrage at the Sderot area of southern Israel. At least 4 missiles were fired (at first the IDF said 2, then 3, residents reported 4).
At the time that the sirens went off, a sports event was taking place in a gymnasium in Sderot:
What has become the standard picture of Israelis living in the south. Here a coach was protecting members of his team last night.
The Iron Dome intercepted two of the incoming missiles.

Within minutes of the attack, and despite the 6:00 pm warning, the IDF spokesman was already declaring that Hamas was not to blame. As has become the norm lately, the IDF blamed “rogue elements” in Gaza for the shooting.
Nevertheless, IAF planes responded several hours later by “attacking” empty Hamas buildings and observation posts. In the process, we destroyed the Hamas naval headquarters for the 5th time in recent months (its continued “destruction” has become a joke here in southern Israel).
We can’t say it enough here at OneIsrael. The inability of our government to stop the terrorists in Gaza from rendering the lives of the residents of southern Israel unlivable is astonishing.
And disgusting.
How can it be that the IDF passively continues doing the same thing over and over? They shoot, we meekly react; they shoot, we meekly react; they shoot, we meekly react. All the while, the residents of southern Israel are nothing more than missile fodder to our cowardly leaders in Jerusalem.
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.
