Israel Prepares for War With Hamas February 11, 2016 by Israel Today Staff Senior commanders in Israel s Southern Command are warning their troops to be prepared for possible preemptive action against the Hamas terrorist infrastructure in Gaza. Israel knows that Hamas is digging terror tunnels into southern Israel in preparation for the next war. In fact, Hamas itself has admitted as much. On Wednesday, IDF officials cited by Israel s Yediot Ahronot assessed that some 1,000 terrorists are currently engaged in digging tunnels into Israel, including a massive central tunnel that could already extend deep into Israel s southern Negev region. Many in Israel, most especially the residents living in the vicinity of Gaza, want the army to strike first and not give Hamas the chance to infiltrate their communities. One officer told Walla! News that the various units should prepare for the possibility that the political echelon will lose patience or that the threat of tunnels in the Gaza Strip will not allow for restraint, and they will try to initiate treatment of the tunnels in Palestinian territory. In recent weeks at least a dozen Hamas terrorists have been killed when the tunnels in which they were working suddenly collapsed. There is much speculation that IDF engineering units were behind those incidents. How Palestinians hurt the Palestinians UCI February 11, 2016 In his remarks to the Security Council on the situation in the Middle East, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon recently condemned stabbings, vehicle attacks, and shootings by Palestinians targeting Israeli civilians. He even condemned the continuing rocket fire into Israel from militant groups in Gaza. But in unusually strong language he ascribed these acts to growing Palestinian frustration and grievances under the weight of a half century of occupation and the paralysis of the peace process. He also stated that progress towards peace requires a freeze of Israel s settlement enterprise. 4 The Secretary-General repeated his statements in a January 31 New York

5 Times op-ed after being rebuked by Israeli PM Netanyahu. This author is extremely critical of Israel s settlement policies and its negative consequences on the relations between the two peoples but also of the role of the international community and more specifically the United Nations in the present situation. On a deeper historical level, the UN Secretary-General does not mention or does not understand the half century frustration of the Israeli people, who sincerely hoped to achieve peace with the Palestinians: the decision by Arab states not to recognize and negotiate with Israel until the blessed decision of President Sadat of Egypt to make peace in 1977; the waves of Palestinian terrorism inside Israel and through its borders sponsored by most of thearab regimes. Moreover, at the time as today it was not politically correct to state the truth: by attacking Israelis and Jews all over the world and sometimes American and Western interests, the Palestinians, not the jihadists, have been the pioneers of the global terrorism that now threatens the international community and many of the UN members. The Palestinians succeeded in executing their nefarious plans with the active support of the Syrian, Iraqi and Libyan regimes and the fear of their victims in the West or elsewhere of reacting forcefully. A short non-comprehensive list: The first hijacking of a civilian airplane, El Al in 1968; the hijacking and the bombing of 4 airplanes in 1970 in Jordan and Cairo (Pan Am, TWA, Swissair and BOAC) and the attempts of suicide air attacks by the PFLP, preparing the scenario of 9/11; the first attack on the Munich Olympics in 1972 (think of the billions of dollars invested since that tragic event in the security of the Olympic Games everywhere on the globe!); the first use of anti-aerial missiles against civil aviation (Rome 1971), barometer bombs in airplanes already in 1970 (Swiss Air flight 330 all 47 passengers killed, and Austrian Airlines, without loss of life) and liquid bombs (Chianti nitroglycerine bombs); the first attacks against synagogues, Jewish schools and Israeli embassies (from Brussels to Bangkok); and attacks against Western andamerican interests (1977, the PFLP hijacked Lufthansa flight LH181, etc.). Most of the perpetrators of these attacks, including youngsters years old (like the Palestinians of today) sent from Lebanon or Jordan, were quickly released by most of the countries involved, even when their own citizens were the victims. No Arab sponsor that gave refuge to all these terrorists has ever been bothered. The Palestinian organizations have set the example for terrorists from the Lebanese Hezbollah, German radical leftists or and Tamil Tigers. Before al-qaeda set up its training camps in Afghanistan, Palestinians were training, in Lebanon, a long list of terrorist organizations, including the Japanese RedArmy, thearmenian ASALA, the Argentinian Montoneros, and the Basque ETA. Some Palestinian terrorist groups preferred to be mercenaries in the service of Iraqi, Syrian or Libyan intelligence agencies targeting Western interests or other Arab countries. These include Fatah Revolutionary Council/Abu Nidal (ANO), Arab Nationalist Youth for the Liberation of Palestine (ANYLP), The Arab Liberation Front (ALF),Al Saiqa. Imad Mughniyeh, Hezbollah s international operations head and Chief of 5

6 Staff of its military forces, was America s most wanted international terrorist, key planner of the bombing of a US marine barracks and French paratroopers in Beirut in 1983, which killed more than 330 people. Mughniyeh began his career in the Palestinian Fatah movement at an early age, remained its member until 1984 and finished it when his car was bombed in Damascus in One of the pillars of Al-Qaeda, its ideologue and strategist of jihad was Palestinian Islamic scholar Abdullah Azzam. He created the Mujahideen Services Bureau in Afghanistan, the foundation of international recruits for Al-Qaeda, many of whom held high positions in Al-Qaeda s command structure. His teachings about jihad had a huge impact on generations of fighters including on Osama bin Laden himself and his ideas inspire foreign fighters to this day. Azzam argued for taking the jihad back to Palestine, and was instrumental in the formation of Hamas by supporting it politically, financially and logistically and providing military training in Pakistan. The first generation of the military wing of Hamas Izz al-din Qassam Brigades was trained by him. Hamas leaders even sent him a draft copy of its charter in 1987 for review. Hamas is the Islamist organization which derailed the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians by staging, together with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), the campaigns of suicide terrorism immediately after the signing of the Oslo agreement, all along the 1990s and then during the second bloody intifada, which alienated the Israeli public opinion from the peace process and strengthen those circles in Israeli society who supported the building of settlements. The 2005 Israeli unilateral withdrawal from Gaza, leaving behind a rich educational and agricultural infrastructure, did not bring peace and development for the local population but rather immediate campaigns of rocket attacks against Israeli territory, the militarization of Gaza under the Hamas elected government and finally the military coup against the legitimate Palestinian Authority and its actual split into two enemy entities. Ban Ki-moon in his article asks Israeli authorities to unequivocally support the Palestinian Authority and Palestinian institutions and make significant shifts in policies toward the West Bank and Gaza. True, he also tells the Palestinians that change will require of them consistently and firmly denouncing terrorism and taking preventive action to end attacks on Israelis, including an immediate stop to Gaza tunnel construction. But there is no real denunciation by him of the intense incitement by the PA authorities at the highest level and the Hamas government in support of the violence in the West Bank. Interestingly, Hamas its nefarious terrorism and violence and its dedication to Israel s destruction is not mentioned by name even once in the Secretary-General s statements. It is time the UN and the international community recognize the Palestinians key role in their present predicament but also the weight of a half century of Israeli people s frustration and lack of confidence in the Palestinians and their representatives acceptance of a historic compromise for a two state solution.

UCI Feb. 11 Benjamin Netanyahu visited the security fence which is being constructed on Israel s border with Jordan. (Photo: Marc Israel Sellem/POOL) Israel must surround itself with a security fence on all of its borders in order to keep out the beasts in the neighborhood, said Israeli Prime Minister B e n j a m i n N e t a n y a h u o n Tuesday. He announced the plans for constructing this barrier while touring a new security fence near Eilat which is being built along Israel s border with Jordan. We are preparing a multi-year project to encircle Israel with a security fence, to defend ourselves in the Middle East as it is now, and as it is expected to be, he said. At the end, in the State of Israel, as I see it, there will be a fence that spans it all. In the neighborhood in which we live, we need to protect ourselves against beasts. Plans are also being drawn up to fill in gaps in the security fence in Judea and Samaria, Netanyahu added, though the details have yet to be worked out. While a large fence is planned for the highly-populated settlement blocs of Ma ale Adumim, Ariel, and Gush Etzion, as of now, only a small section has been built. Netanyahu tours the fence under construction every few months to monitor its progress. In recent years, Israel has built a barrier stretching for 242 kilometers (88 miles) along the Egyptian border. The barrier includes the fence, whose height is five meters, or about 16 feet, and a thin, sensitive strip used by IDF trackers to identify footprints. Another length of fence, stretching for 103 kilometers (64 miles), has gone up in the northern Golan Heights, and 500 kilometers (310 miles), of fence have been erected in Judea and Samaria. Netanyahu pointed out that one of the advantages of building a fence on Israel s southern borders with Egypt and Jordan is that the areas are open, without buildings nearby which could camouflage the construction of terror tunnels. That is not the situation in Gaza, or potentially in Judea and Samaria, he said. If you weigh whether to build a fence there you have to take into consideration that they could dig tunnels underneath. 7

8 YESHUA REMEMBRANCE SERVICE 31 " Here, the days are coming," says Y HoVaH, "when I will make a new 32 C ovenant with the house of Isra el and with the house of Y hudah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers on the day I took them by their hand and brought them out of the land of Egypt; because they, for their part violated My Covenant, even though I, for my part, was a husband to them," says 33 Y HoVaH. " For this is the Covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days," says Y HoVaH, "I will put My Torah within them and write it on their heart s; I will be their Elohim, and they wi ll be My people.

Leader: Pray in relation to what Yeshua has done in connection with the day s Torah portion. Let us eat and drink together. Malachi & Tamar: Aharonic Blessing (see Num 6:22-27). Our Abba and Elohim of our fathers, we thank you for the joy and rest of this Shabbat. May the coming week bring gladness & peace, health & achievement. Like the fragrance of the besamim, we pray that the days ahead bring sweetness to our lives and the lives of our loved ones.
