Meanwhile, there is a massive shortage to the p0int of collapse of Corona laboratories which confirm whether or not a test sample is positive or negative.
Why? Because laboratories laid off hundreds of workers when it appeared that the scourge of Corona had passed. Now that it is back again . . .

Our pro-Muslim government withholds action again . . .
Two actions to report.
First, the Supreme Court granted the government an extension to raze Khan Al-Ahmar. Just like the previous Netanyahu government, the Bennett-Lapid government is dithering about following the directive of the Court. The Court granted a six week extension and told government representatives that this would absolutely be the last extension.

TODAY’S BLOG:
What Happened Last Night?
At 12:40 am last night (or rather early this morning), your humble servant and his wife were sleeping comfortably upstairs in our home in Ashdod. For the first time in weeks because of the intense heat and humidity here, all of the windows were open.
At exactly that moment, eight F15s or F16s buzzed our house before turning north.
The noise was deafening (which usually indicates that the airplanes were heavily laden with weapons), and the house literally shook from the roar.
As of now, late afternoon, we know that they went in one of two places: Lebanon or Syria.
On the Lebanese border, there was an infiltration roughly 30 minutes before the planes went over. Apparently IDF observers had been tracking them–and even produced a video today of them skulking along the border fence.
Until they lost them–which brought about a lockdown of communities in the vicinity, light bombs being fired in every direction to try to locate them, and soldier foot searches.
As of this hour, they still have not been located. Were the airplanes that flew over our house connected to this incident?
Or were they connected with the apparent Israeli attack on Iranian proxy targets near Aleppo–during which the Syrians claim that they opened intense anti-aircraft fire (though they always claim this after the fact).
And so it goes today in Israel.
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.
