Some footage from the IDF operation last night in various parts of Judea & Samaria.

A woman driving her car on route 60 today by Luban al-Sharqiya, northeast of Ramallah, had a rock thrown through the windscreen. She was slightly injured.

This is known as attempted murder!

What heartbreaking pics from the funeral today!!

This is Tal Tamari, the wife of Meir Tamari who was murdered yesterday by a terrorist, saying goodbye to her husband while their baby is on her back.

Meir was just driving when he was shot, he never harmed anyone in his life. His only crime was being a Jew.

May his memory be for a blessing!

In case anyone in Israel was wondering why over the past few days we have all been hearing massive amounts of Israeli Air Force jets flying around, I counted 15 jets at a time, well there is a National IDF exercise called "Punch Fist (Firm Hand)" which began Monday and will last for about two weeks.

The exercise will simulate multi-arena combat in air, sea, land, spectrum and cyber. As part of the exercise, the IDF's ability to prepare for a prolonged campaign will be tested in several arenas.

Regular and reserve IDF forces, from all commands, arms and wings, will take part in the exercise. The forces will practice dealing with challenges and events in several arenas at the same time.

As part of the exercise, an noticeable movement of the security forces will be felt: military and armored vehicles, jets and navy vessels.

On 1 June 1941, a Nazi-inspired pogrom known as "Farhud" erupted in Baghdad (Iraq), which took the lives of hundreds of Jews, some say up to 600.

Homes were marked with a red hand sign (Hamsa) so the Arabs knew which homes belonged to Jews, then on the Jewish festival of Shavuot, a massive angry mob of Arabs raped, mutilated and murdered hundreds of Jews. After raping a mother in her home, they cut off her breasts and ran outside with it praising Allah as other Jews gazed in horror. Over 1000 were injured, many severely and over 900 Jewish homes were destroyed. This all took place in 2 days.

There was no state of Israel to blame for their attack back then. After the state of Israel was formed, all Jews left Iraq (many were wealthy and came with nothing to Israel) and Iraq turned to a wasteland after the Jews left.

May their memories be for a blessing.

Here is an excellent article about The Farhud, written by my friend and author Lyn Julius (I have her book and posted about it some time ago).

Footage of IDF on arrest operations in various locations last night, such as Shchem, Bethlehem, Hebron and Tulkarem.

In Bethlehem alone about 23 terrorists were arrested.
