On Shabbat, One Israel does not publish a blog unless circumstances warrant. Instead, we offer a few photos for your consideration:
Photo 1:
Remember how we were told that the Gaza Border security fence was impermeable? The terrorists have found a simple solution–planting IEDs all along the fence and blowing holes in it–like this one yesterday (photo source: Hamas).
Photo 2:
Another photo from Hamas terrorists yesterday–this one of an explosive balloon being launched into southern Israel. In response to the bomb detonations and balloon explosions, the IDF “attacked” several Hamas targets last night and early this morning.
Photo 3:
One of six fires started by explosive balloons yesterday–this one a grass fire near the Kissufim Forest.
Photo 4:
Another fire near Kissufim. Dozens of dunams burned yesterday.
Photo 5:
Famous for his use of props at the U.N., PM Netanyahu used this one yesterday to show what he calls a “New Middle East” if normalization with Saudi Arabia takes place. Last night, Netanyahu told an audience that he expects to sign an agreement in two months.
Photo 6:
Also at the U.N., the leaders of 5 Caribbean nations (Dominican Republic, Antigua and Barbuda, Haiti, St. Kitts and Nevis, and Barbados) met with the Netanyahu yesterday to request Israel’s help in managing water supplies and in improving public health resources. So much for Netanyahu being isolated–as the anti-government movement here in Israel had hoped.
SHABBAT SHALOM!
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.
