Israel Can Shoot Down Dozens of Missiles Simultaneously

On Tuesday, while Mahmoud "monkey man" Ahmadinejad arrogantly bragged about a new weapon his theocratic dictatorship supposedly tested for use at sea which can "easily" close a major oil passageway, the Israel Air Force simultaneously unveiled Sniper, a system developed by three Israeli companies that identifies a target, whether missile or plane, while it is still hundreds of kilometers from Israel, enabling it to be struck with missiles.

The IAF stressed that this system is currently reserved for Israel's exclusive use; U.S. Patriot batteries elsewhere in the world are not equipped with Sniper.

A senior officer said the first Sniper units were deployed about a month ago, and more will be deployed in the future. He added that Israel now has the ability to bring down dozens of missiles simultaneously, and to select which missiles to target based on each missile's projected landing site.

Sniper. Just one more reason why Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his minions better learn to sleep with one eye open.

Deals with devils

Israel has undertaken an incredibly wrongheaded prisoner exchange with the terrorist group Hezbollah. It's just the latest move in a troubling trend of unequal deals between the Jewish state and its declared enemies. Read the article by Steve Emerson.

Accountability of the Israeli Government

Following the confirmation that Hamas media praised the terror attack in Jerusalem, excerpted from Accountability Of The Israeli Government:

Yesterday afternoon, The Bulletin contacted the office of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert about the Israeli government's response to the Hamas:

The Bulletin forwarded a statement to the Israeli court from two weeks ago in which the government of Israel took a position that it will NOT garnish the assets of Hamas for a Hamas terror victim family and that the government of Israel states that it is the position of the government that the Hamas should NOT be dismantled.

In light of the fact that the Hamas praised the attack in Jerusalem, The Bulletin asked three questions of Mr. Olmert.

1. Why will the Israeli government not dismantle the Hamas?

2. Since Hamas in Gaza uses radio and TV frequencies that are owned by the state of Israel that were loaned to the Palestinians in 1994 for them to advance the cause of peace, why do you not cut off these frequencies or at least reclaim them for the state of Israel?

3. Why does the Israeli government not kill the leaders of Hamas who publicly praise and plan the murders of Jews, in the same way that the Israeli government killed Hamas leaders Mr. Yassin and Dr. Rantisi in 2004?

No answer was forthcoming from Mr. Olmert's communications office to these queries that followed the terror attack in downtown Jerusalem.

Jerusalem Chareidim Say "No" to Arab Cab Drivers

This is an excellent move. The US should do the same; in return for Arabs extorting Americans with exorbitent oil prices, Americans should in turn charge a tremendous price for our exports of wheat, oat and grains that we pump into Muslim countries. Let them starve. From YeshivaWorld:

Yerushalayim' s chareidi community has stepped up efforts to avoid giving a livelihood of Arabs, posting signs around the city calling on travelers to avoid taking Arab-driven cabs. They are also calling on chareidim to avoid using taxis from companies employing Arab drivers.

Similar calls are being heard in Merkaz HaRav Yeshiva following the March terror attack, Ladaat reports.

It appears following last week's bulldozer terror attack in Yerushalayim, the chareidi community is renewing efforts to avoid giving work to Arabs, a momentum that began in force following the attack in Merkaz HaRav which claimed the lives of eight students.

2 Givati Soldiers die and 6 or 7 are wounded in a day of close to 50 Rockets

Eyewitnesses to the war. Received by email:

Below, DEBKA writes how close the rockets are getting to Ashdod. We are now talking about close to half a million Israelis or more within the Grad rocket range and a threat to our power plant, oil installations, military bases along with civilians. The truth is that if Olmert and Barak want to put up shields in Sderot, they have no intention of going into Gaza and cleaning out the nest and cancer there.

One of the soldiers killed was a Sargent from Beer Sheva. Families of all have been notified. The latest numbers are 46 Shihidim and 60 wounded of the terrorist. It it were 10,000 or more maybe they would think about a cease fire but that is nothing for them. 6 of our civilians were wounded in the Negev and/or Ashkelon.

DEBKAfile's military sources report: Israel's Givati Brigade troops engaged in heavy fighting with Hamas armed forces in the northern Gaza Strip's Sejaya and Jebalya areas Saturday March 1, in the IDF's first extended challenge to Hamas missile and rocket attacks on Ashkelon and Sderot regions. Tanks, self-propelled guns, F-16 fighter jets and helicopters took part in the combat. Five Israeli soldiers were injured by Palestinian fire, two seriously. The Palestinians reported 38 dead - 15 in battle, the rest civilians including 5 children, as well as 120 injured.

Two air force attacks took place in late afternoon in Jebalya - one hit a large store of war materiel, including missiles.

Throughout the battles, the Palestinians continued firing scores of missiles and rockets - 47 by evening. Three waves of extended Katyusha rockets hit Ashkelon, under attack for the third day running. One set the shopping center on fire after two crashed into houses, injuring 6 people, two of them children. There were dozens of shock victims.

After the Red Color code alert was installed, furious Ashkelonites said they will never let their town become Sderot No. 2, an Israeli town whose population has dwindled under years of missile attacks from Gaza. Leaders of Ashkelon's 120,000 inhabitants are demanding tough Israeli military action against Gaza to nip its expanded aggression in the bud. More sirens were installed in Ashkelon Saturday, public bomb shelters opened and Magen David emergency services reinforced with extra ambulances and medical teams.

Sderot and its kibbutz and moshav neighbors sustained 50 Qassam missiles. One exploded harmlessly in an empty nursery school. Six shock victims were hospitalized.

A Grad rocket reached Kfar Silver which is situated between Ashkelon and the big port town of Ashdod to the north. This town, 27 km north of Gaza, and within range of the larger and more powerful Palestinian rockets, is preparing for Palestinian rocket attacks to start. Twelve alert systems are ready.

The education minister is drawing up plans to evacuate children from towns and villages in direct line of missile fire from Gaza.

The IDF's Homeland Command has installed Red Color code alerts in 8 locations around Ashkelon: Kfar Silver, Berachiya, Bat Hadar, Beit Shikma, Mavki'im, Talmei Yosef, Gaya and Mishan.

Markor Rishon Newspaper exposes that 4 Arabs associated with certain not so Tzaddikim are main financial backers of Hillary's Opponent but it might be too late for Hillary to do anything about it. Ble Neder in my Inyanay Diyoma I will name names this week. This info should go out to every Jew before the main election in November if he is the candidate.
