The News on the Israeli Street
The war on the Gaza border.
Fire in the Eshkol Forest caused by an exploding balloon.
The balloons keep exploding and the disturbances on the fence continue, but our idiotic government has opened the Erez Crossing to Palestinians and even increased the quota of daily workers allowed into Israel. Israel has no deterrence against the terrorists in Gaza.
The war in Judea and Samaria.
“Rock”, IED, Molotov attacks:
Palestinian terrorists attacked Israelis near the Mazmoriya Checkpoint, on Road 55 near Azzun, between the T Junction and Efrat near Umm Salmona, on Road 55 in the Nabi Elias Bypass (Israeli wounded), on Road 60 beside Lumorusayya, Al Aruv, and at another dozen locations.
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.
