Keep the salt handy for the Guardian version:

Yucki’s comment gives some of the geopolitics leading up to the moment. As is nearly always the case, these events do not happen in a vacuum, nor are they fully disconnected from what follows.

Israel National News: 

IDF soldier killed in Gaza

An IDF soldier from an elite unit was killed on Sunday night during an operation in the Gaza Strip.

Another soldier was injured and evacuated to the Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheva. Their families have been notified.…

The incident occurred during an IDF operation three kilometers deep inside the Gaza Strip. The force entered Gaza in a civilian car, apparently in order to eliminate or kidnap Nur Barakeh, commander of the eastern battalion of Hamas’ Izz Al-Din Al-Qassam Brigades in Khan Yunis.

According to reports from Gaza, due to a complication in the operation, exchanges of fire broke out between the terrorists and the Israeli forces, during which the Israel Air Force attacked in Gaza and killed at least seven Hamas terrorists.

The special force of the IDF was able to leave Gaza and, contrary to rumors that circulated at the time, no soldier was kidnapped. Following the incident, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu cut short his visit to Paris and is now making his way to Israel.

On Sunday evening, sirens were heard in the Gaza envelope. According to the IDF, at least 10 rockets fired from the Gaza Strip exploded in open areas or were intercepted by the Iron Dome system. There were no physical injuries.

Residents living in the area reported hearing loud explosions. Residents of the Eshkol Regional Council were called upon to remain close to protected areas. The Home Front Command announced that schools in the Gaza envelope will be closed on Monday due to the security situation.…

War at the Gaza border

Posted on by

From a reader of Gates of Vienna:

Israel is poised for attack, the tanks are in place, there were soldiers camping in the office car park this week. we are all just waiting for it.

The missiles during the week were an escalation, a grad to Beersheva destroyed a house, and one was fired up the coast towards TA but fell in the sea.

The government has not responded (yet) but the Egyptians are trying to defuse the situation. We are just waiting for the next war.

Video of a claim that Israel struck NORK and Iranian military assets in Syria last night

Posted on by

This info is pretty specific and not delivered like a hoax or conspiracy.

If anyone is in the mood to search for video evidence of this attack, it could be very interesting indeed. Much of it follows logically. Iran and NORK are clearly working to mutual interests. It doesn’t even seem implausible, but this source is new to me and there is nothing related to it anywhere I have seen so far.

Also for the: “I have no idea if its true” file.

Muslim Brotherhood effect on Turkey and Germany

Posted on by

This is part of the Israeli series we have been running now and again about the Brotherhood’s subversive operations across the Western world to bring down democracy, and replace rule of law with sharia.

To be honest, an essay about the unstated implications of this documentary should be written here and now. And when time permits, which may be never at the rate at which events happen which require chronicling, I will try and write one. But I encourage people to think about what they see here and write down their thoughts in the comments.

One thing that does stick in my craw is how real fake passports can be obtained which pass any computer check in the world.

This means that Turkey or Germany or both are actually knowingly creating false documents for money for whatever religious muslim who wants to make Hijra, and putting the necessary codes in the international data bases which confirm a passport is legit.

There are lots of other features that deserve analysis and exposure from this. Like the German civil servant who actually tells an illegal how to sneak in the rest of his family and bypass even the lax regulations that prevent him from just moving his whole tribe in to Germany right then and there with full government support.

Take your blood pressure meds before watching.

To get a glimpse of how serious this is in Germany beyond this video, watch these clips we did a couple of years ago about Turkish mosques in Germany:

Listing news items on US embassy opening, and kinetic response by Gazans

Posted on by

It looks like the “Fog of War” already on this topic so far, but Ill post items as I find them or as they are sent in on this.

For the moment, The Guardian has a video:

BBC: Gaza clashes: Dozens killed as US opens Jerusalem embassy

(I guess, “Thousands attacking” doesn’t merit a headline somehow)

BBC does full on propaganda for Gazans who are attacking in numbers with projectiles and fire, on the Israeli border. But listen to her opening paragraphs.
