Unconfirmed reports from Arab media: Syria has attacked Israeli bases in Golan in retaliation to the aggression on Gaza. Unconfirmed. Investigating…
Update: As this report from the Arab media cannot be confirmed at this time, we are assuming it’s false.

Hamas reiterated its mantra – no compromise on any issue with Israel, until the ‘last inch of Palestine is liberated
By David Lev
In response to statements by Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas that he would not demand the “right of return” for PA Arabs to the homes that their grandparents and great-grandparents abandoned in the State of Israel – statements Abbas later reneged on – Hamas has issued its own document on the matter. Even if the PA as a matter of policy were to agree not to demand that nearly all the Jews of Israel be thrown out of their homes to accommodate the descendants of “refugees,” Hamas said it wold never agree to such a plan – and any concessions Israel makes in return for the removal of the “right of return” from PA demands would be irrelevant, as far as the Gaza terror group was concerned.
Egyptian intelligence officials have been mediating between Israel and Hamas in order to reach a cease-fire agreement that would put an end to the two-day cross-border escalation.
More than 100 rockets have hit southern Israel since violence flared up on the border on Saturday. The IDF has responded with nine separate air strikes, killing five Palestinians.
So far, no time has been set for the commencement of the cease-fire, but Haaretz has learned that both sides have said quiet will be answered with quiet.
Three people were lightly wounded in the Gaza envelope area on Sunday morning, when rockets exploded in the city of Sderot and in the Sha’ar Hanegev Regional Council. Gaza militants continued to fire missiles into the evening on Sunday, both in Sha’ar Hanegev and in Eshkol Regional Council.

The father of a Jewish family was badly beaten and the family home was completely trashed on Sunday by local youths in Marseille, France.
Residents in their Jewish neighborhood are stunned following the incident.
Marseilles is home to some 80,000 Jews – 10 percent of the general population but a small fraction compared to the 250,000 Muslims with whom they also live. It has been relatively quiet France’s second-largest city this year, compared to other areas in the country where violent anti-Semitism has been on the rise.
Last month the SPCJ (Service de Protection de la Communaute Juive) security agency for French Jewry reported a 45 percent rise in anti-Semitic attacks since 2011, mostly by Muslims.
This incident began when two youths parked their car in a Jewish family’s private garage.
When the family saw the unfamiliar vehicle they called police, and the car was towed. Upon finding their vehicle gone and learning it had been towed, the youths became angry.

Police are to have decided an arrest last night, after it became known that Ubaydullah Hussain, leader of Profetens Ummah, threatened jews in Norway.
This morning, police took action against the apartment of Ubaydullah Hussain, leader of the islamist organisation Profetens Ummah.
According to the information obtained by NRK [state tv/radio], police decided to detain Hussain, after yesterday having threatened jews in Norway.
Today around 11, police took action against Hussain’s apartment in Bjerke, Oslo. NRK’s reporter on location tells that police were present with three vehicles and eight officers.
Police were equipped with shields, sledgehammer and and axe, ready to enter the apartment with force, should this become necessary. After a while, however, one of Hussain’s family members is said to have opened the front door.
‘I can confirm that there has been police action at Bjerke. I cannot say anything else about the background of this action, other than that the individual we were looking for was not there’, says operasjonsleder i Oslo politidistrikt, Sven Martin Ege, to NRK.no.
Ege refers to the matter being investigated by Stovner politistasjon. Stovner police does not wish to comment on this matter.
This morning, police took action against Ubaydullah Hussain’s apartment in Oslo.
Yesterday, Hussain published the following message on Facebook:
‘I will give them protection, I. InshAllah. As soon as I have passed the hunter test and got an AK47.’
The background for this message was a VG article about norwegian jews not having police protection and feeling insecure after terror attacks in other european countries.
‘This is an ambiguous commentary, and it must be up to whoever to speculate about the comment’s meaning. I neither want to confirm nor to deny that this is a threat’, said Hussain last night to NRK.
He does not exclude either a new attack against the Oslo synagogue.
‘They are part of an occupational power, Israel. As long as a group, religion or people is in a physical war with islam, then they are our enemies. Any group or country involved in war with another party must expect a response’, said Hussain.
Last night, Oslo politidistrikt informed NRK that they had opened penal proceedings, and that they would start an investigation.
PST [secret service] was also notified, and they intended to continue assessing the situation.
Upon a question posed by NRK earlier this month if Hussain would warn authorities, in case he knew about a planned terror attack in Norway, he responded: ‘No comment.’
Hussain is a well-known figure in the radical moslem milieu. He has said earlier that ‘the world needs a new Osama bin Laden’.
He leads the radical islamist group Profetens Ummah, which – among other things – in september had organised the demonstration before the american embassy against the Mohammed film.
Hussain has also claimed that the majority of norwegian nationals who have taken to Syria to fight against Assad are members of his organisation.
Ubaydullah Hussain was among the demonstrators outside the american embassy in september.

Three Arab students in university at Lviv sought revenge for their dismissal, Arutz Sheva learns.
A Jewish professor in the university in Lviv, Ukraine, was murdered by three Arab students, Arutz Sheva has learned.
According to initial details, the three students had failed in their studies and sought revenge for their dismissal from the university. They decided to murder their Jewish professor.
These details have not been confirmed by other sources.
Meanwhile Terry Jones was refused admittance even though no one has claimed he lied about Islam.
The “demonize Israel” campaign was in full swing at the Hamilton Public Library recently thanks to an exhibit organized by Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME) supposedly depicting Gaza children’s art.
While there’s nothing wrong with displaying political art, except in this case, this “artwork” was not drawn by children at all, but rather by sophisticated artists trying to mimic a child’s style, in order to better pull at the heartstrings of a Western audience.
The unanimous opinion of experts is that these drawings – which depict various scenes of alleged “Israeli brutality” – are far too sophisticated to have been drawn by children. Contrary to CJPME President Thomas Woodley’s claims as published in the Hamilton Spectator, this artwork cannot be considered “authentic”. The symbolism, detail, colouring and motifs all indicate the work of trained artists imitating the style of a child. For example, those attending this exhibit should note how the dynamic brushstrokes are well conceived and controlled, and how the people are drawn in a clear single-line outline. No child does that.

French police have uncovered bomb-making material during a probe into a group of Islamic extremists detained at the weekend for allegedly targeting Jews, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Describing the group as a serious threat, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said the detention of the 12 suspects pending charges would be extended beyond the usual four-day maximum to at least a fifth day.
“We are clearly and objectively facing an extremely dangerous terrorist cell,” Molins said in a statement, adding that it was necessary to “avoid the risk of a terrorist attack in France”.
He said “components useful for bomb-making” had been found overnight during police searches of buildings in the eastern Paris suburb of Torcy, where two of the suspects were detained on Saturday.
Among the components found were bags of potassium nitrate, sulphur, saltpetre, pressure cookers and headlight bulbs, “all products or instruments useful in the making of what we call improvised explosives,” Molins said.

I wonder. Are there any actual Muslim countries that are not at war with non-Muslim neighbors?

Two rockets explode near Sderot, followed by another rocket in Netivot; No injuries or damage reported in either incident

Attack on the south continues: Three Qassam rockets exploded Tuesday, two near Sderot and one in the town of Netivot. In both cases, the rockets hit open areas and no injuries or damage were reported.
Against the backdrop of political unease, in light of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s Tuesday announcement that the elections for the Knesset will be held earlier than expected, Sderot Mayor David Buskila commented: “Israel is heading toward election when there are still unresolved defense issues.”
Related stories:
“The continuous rocket fire towards Israel indicates that something has happened to our ability to deter,” Buskila continued. “We shouldn’t let those who threaten us determine the agenda. At the moment, they’re the ones who decide that we won’t get any sleep at night, when we will wake up, or when we will run to the shelters – and we have no say in the matter.
“I think that when it comes to this threat, it would be best if the current government would hold office for one more year, until the end of its term, so that it would be able to address those issues and find a solution.”

French President François Hollande pledged on Sunday to increase security around synagogues and introduce tougher anti-terrorism measures, a day after a series of police raids dismantled a radical Islamist network that targeted Jews.
French President Francois Hollande
Seeking to calm the fears of France’s Jewish community, the largest in Europe, Mr. Hollande invited seven leaders of Jewish groups to the presidential palace where he promised support to fight a rash of anti-Semitic attacks.
“I have reaffirmed that the state will not compromise in fighting racism and anti-Semitism. Nothing must be tolerated,” Hollande told reporters outside the presidential palace.
Tensions are high in the Jewish community over a series of attacks and threats. They have ranged from death threats against the chief rabbi of Lyon, to an attack with a hammer and iron bars on three young Jewish men.
On Saturday evening, blank bullets were fired from a car at a synagogue in the Paris suburb of Argenteuil while worshippers were inside.
In the worst such violence, three children and a rabbi were shot dead in March outside a Jewish school in Toulouse by a radical Islamist inspired by al Qaeda, who also killed three soldiers in a 10-day rampage.
Even the NY Times [2] seemed revolted by the glorification of the August 9, 2001 Jerusalem Sbarro Restaurant homicide bombing carnage—an act of jihad terrorism committed by Hamas—“re-created” the next month with ghoulish joy, in a Palestinian Muslim exhibit whose entrance (complete with replicated Sbarro sign) is depicted in the photo above.
The September 26, 2001 Times report [2] included these grisly details:
Created by a student faction of Hamas…The most contentious section is a mock-up of the Sbarro restaurant in Jerusalem where 15 people were killed in a suicide attack in August including not only gnawed pizza crusts but bloody plastic body parts suspended from the ceiling as if they were blasting through the air
