"Israel" Warns of traveling to Turkey, Sinai on Passover

Ahead of "Israeli" spring coming festivals, the "Israeli" Counter-Terrorism Agency issued Wednesday its recommendations for "Israeli" tourists.

Among other subjects, the agency clarified that "there has been a tightening in the travel warning to Turkey because of the increased level of threats in the mentioned state."

The recommendations come after the agency published last week an immediate travel warning to Turkey calling on "Israelis" to "refrain from visiting the state for several days."
In addition, a similar warning was issued again towards Egypt, with an emphasis on the Sinai Peninsula, where there is according to the agency "a major concrete threat".


It even urged the "Israelis" to leave the place immediately.

The agency further clarified that "there is an increase of terrorist threat of global jihad in the African continent, especially Nigeria, the coast, Morocco and the countries of the African Horn."

"The annual party of Rabbi Shimon bar Aouhaa, held in Tunisia, may be a potential target for terrorist attacks," the agency warned.


The holidays, especially Passover, are liable to provide incentive for terrorists
around the world to attack "Israeli" and Jewish targets abroad.

Officials in the "Israeli" Counter-Terrorism Agency confirmed that "against the backdrop of a series of terrorist attacks and attempted terrorist attacks since the beginning of the year, Iran and Hizbullah are stepping up their efforts to perpetrate additional attacks."

One of the officials warned that "with regard to the travel warning to Turkey, it's not necessarily that terrorism targets institutional goals," predicting that "terrorist organizations may try to attack tourist sites or businessmen."

If Iron Dome Succeeded By 80%, What Affected Our Deterrence Ability

NFC news site- Yuval Bin Best

In reality, the last round of escalation pushed the Iron Dome to the maximum level of executions that is eighty percent of prevention. However, why does it appear that be "Israel's" deterrent capability was damaged?


Iron Dome's Importance:

Since the introduction of the Iron Dome, a new settlement was created for our sake.

In an interview with "Israeli" channel 10, the sponsor of Iron Dome project, Amir Pertz pointed out that "the Iron Dome apparently drove out the thorn of fired rockets f on civilians.

In parallel, the ability of political maneuvering is very large when there are no deaths from our side. In fact, the last round of fight counted a very small number of wounded.


Where is Deterrence Power?

It seems that the last round of fight against the "Islamic Jihad" affected us also. So, what's on the palm? A little number of "Israeli" causalities, the 222 rockets fired against "Israel" reached 40 Km in side "Israeli" territories, the schools stopped, and life routine was damaged.

On the other side, 25 Palestinians were killed and 80 were injured. However, the ease in launching Qassam and Grad rockets into Be'er Sheva, Ashdod and settlements fence is according to my opinion the biggest loss of "Israeli" deterrent power.

Twenty-five members of the resistance: this is a very small number for five-days of war. In this sense, it seems that the air soldier is facing a problem in hunting part of the mortars and cells. Therefore, the next challenge for the security establishment is to find creative solutions through joint work crew.
Perhaps some may consider this a little bit boastful, but our intelligence in military industry has proved itself more than once in finding "imaginary" solutions.

Knesset Approves Internet in Public Shelters
"Israeli" Channel 7- Elad Benari

The Knesset approves preliminary reading of a bill that requires public shelters to include infrastructure for wireless internet access.

The Knesset approved Monday the preliminary reading of a bill that requires public shelters to include infrastructure for internet access.

According to the bill, which was submitted by Orly Levy-Abekasis (Yisrael Beiteinu), a public shelter located in a community defined by an order of the Minister of "Defense" as being located in an area of confrontation will be set up with a wireless internet communication.
The explanatory notes to the bill said that "the Second Lebanon War in the north and Operation Cast Lead in the south have created a reality which is difficult and complex for hundreds of thousands of residents for whom normal life stopped and a routine of war became a fact of life."

During this period, the educational system in these communities shut down and children and teenagers had to sit idly in shelters, scared and frustrated.

The notes added, "For a long time period, children and teenagers whose home does not have a protected space had to stay in public shelters without a regulated education system, educational programs and cultural enrichment, which led to gaps and lost educational time.

"In today's advanced digital age, networking all public shelters with a high speed wireless internet connection is an important need which will allow, during periods of war and confrontation, for studies, classes and enrichment," the bill read.

It also concluded that "an internet connection will allow residents in shelters to be involved in what is happening around them and will help ease the tension and anxieties of those who sit for long periods in shelters and protected public spaces."

The bill, which passed unanimously, will now be transferred to the Knesset's Labor, Social Affairs and Health Committee, where it will be prepared for its first reading.

Bibi Thinks of Early Elections
"Yedioth Ahronoth"- Sima Kidmon

"Israeli" Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu may hold early elections at the beginning of next September.

The Hebrew "Yedioth Ahronoth" newspaper added that "at the beginning of the Knesset summer session in May, Netanyahu may announce an earlier date for elections scheduled to take place in late 2013."

According to the newspaper, Netanyahu believes he is in positive political stance that allows him to win the elections and be re-elected for a second term.

A rrecent poll showed that Netanyahu's popularity soared among "Israelis" following his trip to Washington and his meeting with US President Barak Obama.

The same poll showed a significant decline in the proportion of support for the opposition party Leader Tzipi Livni, who is also expected to be competing for the leadership of Kadima against KM and former "Defense" Minister Shaul Mofaz.

Netanyahu is also trying to anticipate the coming social protests as well as to avoid entering another crisis that could cause a split in the governmental coalition.

He is sharply leaning towards September with the expiration of "Tal Law", which exempts religious "Israelis" from serving in the army.
