IDF reports 13 suspects arrested in operations across Judea and Samaria.
The upheaval over judicial reform and the growing daylight between Israel and the U.S. were cited as reasons for Israel’s security decline.
The Israel Defense Forces confirms that an unmanned aerial object brought down after it crossed into Israel from Syria was most probably of Iranian origin.
“Without the IDF and without the security forces, there is no State of Israel,” said the Israeli prime minister.
The low-flying Super Hercules aircraft was attacked from Jenin.
The object did not cross into Israeli territory and did not pose a threat, according to the IDF.
“Those who are not interested in volunteering or serving in the reserves simply will not be here,” says Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar.
“Today, incited protesters broke into the offices of the Kohelet Forum and attacked its employees,” the think tank said.
As the judicial reform debate rages in Israel, the military under Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi is striving to avoid being dragged into the crisis, while respecting its members’ civil rights.
A leader of the protest clarified that the reservists will again refuse to serve if they aren’t satisfied with the negotiations.
The Israeli prime minister announced a hold on judicial reform until after the Passover holiday, calling on the opposition to negotiate in good faith.
Shimon Eliyah Abitbul pulled Capt. Noam Gershony from the wreckage and stabilized his condition after his helicopter crashed.
