Palestinian terror in the last 24 hours . . .
An estimated 4000 Hamasniks were on the border yesterday throwing IEDs, Molotovs, grenades, and other projectiles at our soldiers. Fortunately, no soldiers were killed.
Here is a photo from a Palestinian source of an IED explosion near an IDF jeep yesterday:
Look closely, you can see the jeep through the flames.
Israelis living in Judea and Samaria were also targeted in numerous “rock” and Molotov attacks.
There was also an attempted terrorist infiltration at Migdal Oz, and a drive-by shooting at an IDF post near Tulkarm. In both cases the terrorists escaped.
The clock is ticking . . .
Much to everyone’s surprise, PM Netanyahu has held on to the mandate given to him by President Rivlin to form a new government.
He now has 12 days left to form a coalition, but looks no closer to doing so. At Rivlin’s discretion, Netanyahu could be granted an extra three weeks, but there is every indication that he will not do so.

About that Iranian ship that was attacked . . .
Iran woke up this morning blaming Israel for the supposed attack on its oil tanker Sabiti on Friday and announced that it would “respond strongly” to the attackers.
The attack which apparently occurred in the Red Sea, 60 miles off the Saudi Arabian coast from Jeddah, seemingly left two small holes in the Sabiti’s oil tanks.
However, no one was wounded, no oil was spilled, and no one can confirm the holes were not already in the tanks–leading many to believe that the “attack” is nothing more than a fake pretext being used by Iran to launch more attacks like the one on the Saudi oilfields.
