Documentation: Residents of Majdal Shams snatch the body of a sheikh from Ziv Hospital in Safed
At Ziv Hospital in Safed, they harshly criticized the police, who they claimed were helpless during the incident.
"Dozens of enthusiastic Druze began to break in with only the security guard and the KVT facing them.
"On the other side stood three policemen who stood on the sidelines and watched what was happening without doing anything," said a source from the hospital.
Police claim that the force sent to the scene negotiated with the protesting Druze and managed to reach an agreement with them and disperse them from the place.
It was also reported at one point that the force received a message that dozens of sheikhs had arrived at the cellar, but when they went down to the cellar, they saw four people from the medical staff handing over the body to the Druze.
This, it was alleged, caused confusion that the transfer of the body was done with permission.
After the incident at the hospital, as mentioned, a mass funeral was held in the locality, contrary to the guidelines, and with the participation of thousands of people.
Following the incident, the police announced their intention to investigate the circumstances of the case, and exhaust the dayan with the burglars to the hospital.
The dimensions of the destruction are revealed
Turkey earthquake:
At least 20 people have been killed and more than 700 injured in Turkey as a result of the earthquake that struck the Aegean Sea near the capital, Izmir, yesterday morning.
Two children were killed on the Greek island of Samos.
The streets of Izmir are flooded
In the city of Izmir, the third largest city in Turkey, at least 20 buildings partially collapsed and six collapsed completely.
Seven people have so far been rescued from the rubble while alive.
The quake was also felt in other parts of Turkey.
Apart from Bazmir, citizens also felt it in the country's largest city, Istanbul, as well as in Oshak, Denizli, Mansa, Blixir, Aydin and Mullah.
Zaki Svisel, a severely affected suburb of Ikrali, told CNN in Turkish: "I left the building with my son a minute before it collapsed. I know there are trapped people under the rubble. We managed to rescue an elderly woman from the rubble, we saved her. The building just crumbled around us. The building had eight floors. "And my office was downstairs. The building next door also collapsed."
Defense Minister Bnei Gantz instructed the IDF to prepare for emergency assistance to Turkey. Following this, a conversation took place between IDF representatives and the Turkish military attache in Israel.
In the conversation, it was conveyed to the Turkish authorities that the defense establishment and the State of Israel share their grief over the disaster, and are ready to send a delegation immediately that will help rescue buildings destroyed in the area and deploy a field hospital to treat the many wounded.
In the shadow of the tragedy, an exciting event also took place.
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsutakis has telephoned Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the two have spoken to each other about a first reconciliation between the leaders, which is controversial due to the issue of Turkish expansion in the eastern Mediterranean basin.
An arms deal that will upgrade the Air Force?
Elusive:
The Arab newspaper Al-Sharq Al-Awsat reported yesterday that US President Donald Trump has approved the sale to Israel of F-22 "Raptor" planes, a plane that the United States has not sold to any country in the world and the US Congress has passed a law banning the sale of foreign planes.
According to the report, US Secretary of Defense Mark Asper met with Prime Minister Netanyahu during a quick visit to Israel and confirmed to the Prime Minister that the President had approved the sale of the advanced aircraft, along with advanced guided missiles.
It was also reported that Asper's visit was intended to provide the government in Jerusalem with the administration's response to Defense Minister Bnei Gantz's demands, which he gave to the administration during his visit to Washington, in order to maintain the IDF's qualitative advantage in the shadow of the sale of F-35s.
The report was not approved by any Israeli or American source.
The report must be accepted with caution because even if the president has confirmed his intention to bring the aircraft to Israel for sale, the sale needs legislation in Congress as there is a law prohibiting the sale of the aircraft to foreign countries.
Also, the production of the aircraft was completely stopped in 2011 and the cost of restoring production will be very high.
The F-22 has been dubbed "Flying Wonder" by senior U.S. Air Force officers and is considered the world's finest interception aircraft that combines advanced weapon systems, high aeronautical capabilities and proven evasive capability.
The plane saw operational activity in Afghanistan and Syria.
Attempted coup following the peace agreement?
Instability in Sudan:
About a week after the announcement of the intention to normalize relations with Israel, Arab media reported today that military forces in Sudan have uncovered a coup attempt planned by former Minister Ali Maghuk in cooperation with a hostile country.
This is in order to seize power and arrest the commander of the aid forces, General Muhammad Hamdan Deklo, who also serves as the deputy leader of the sovereign council, 'Abd al-Fatah al-Burhan.
The Al-Sudani newspaper noted that security forces carried out an extensive series of arrests that included the commander of the Revolutionary Awakening Council Ali Maghuk.
The former minister was arrested in the city of Qalabat with several officers, including retirees and Islamists.
It was also written that this was not an attempted coup against the aid force but against the government in general.
This attempt was planned by the rebel officer Wood Ibrahim and Majok.
The paper mentioned that Ali Maguk had previously served as state minister in the regime’s Supreme Council during the Bashir era.
According to the report, Majokh entered Sudan via Ethiopia and arrived in the city of Klubat, where he decided to meet with several military officials.
It was further alleged that the group had been planning the coup for some time and the security forces were following their actions.
According to the report, the detainees are still under investigation by the intelligence services, at the end of which the findings will be revealed to the general public.
Negative record in US, UK nears closure
The corona continues to rage:
Over 100,000 Americans have been diagnosed with coronary heart disease in the past day, another negative record set by the United States in the fight against the virus.
The total number of infected now stands at more than 9 million people, almost 3% of the total population in the country.
The abnormal increase is also evident in hospitals, which are at the threshold of their ability to treat the number of cases that come to them, while at the same time the average number of deaths stands at one thousand people a day.
The total number of victims of the virus rose to 229,000 over the weekend.
The number of inpatients rose by 50 percent in October to 46,000 - the highest figure since August.
At the same time, according to a data analysis conducted at the University of Washington, the death toll will continue to rise and is expected to reach 72,000 deaths in January.
At the same time, an interim report was released by the U.S. House of Commons subcommittee examining the course of the country's corona crisis, which cited at least 60 cases in which senior government officials dismissed senior scientists' claims about the spread of the plague. "At the same time, underprivileged communities and small businesses are in a protracted struggle for survival," the report, released a few days before the U.S. election, is expected to take place this coming Tuesday.
At the same time, there has also been an increase in corona cases in the UK, leading the government to consider re-imposing restrictions on the public in order to stop the spread of the virus.
Johnson is expected to hold a press conference this coming Monday where he will announce the new restrictions.
According to reports, it will be possible to open vital businesses and schools.
According to the Times, the new measures have not yet been finally approved and discussions on their case continue.
One of the advisers to the British government warned this morning that "the corona is erupting in all age groups. Unlike the first wave, in which the entire population was shut down and protected the majority of the population, the current eruption does not miss any strata."
At the same time, economic experts are pressuring the government not to impose a general closure, claiming that it will increase the market contraction that occurred in the last quarter in the country, following restrictions on business.
According to the Reuters news agency, the cost of imposing the staff will be over 100 billion pounds, equivalent to about 1.3 billion dollars.
