A violent weekend

Suspect of murder in Sharon : A young man about 20 was found dead Friday night in a pit near the cemetery in Ramat Hasharon, after he was shot dead. The young man was found in a pit several meters deep in an open area. Police have launched an investigation into the incident.

MDA paramedic, Eyal Drori, and MDA senior paramedic, who were at the scene, said: "When we arrived at the scene, in an open area near the orchards, we saw a 20-year-old man lying unconscious. His death on the spot. "

According to preliminary estimates, this is a young resident of the center who has been missing for some time, and the murder itself was committed several days ago. Police said the background to the incident is likely criminal.

In the meantime, a 48-year-old man, resident of the village of An'a in the Galilee, was found dead when he was shot in his vehicle at the Ba'an junction - Deir al-Assad. Police said it had launched an investigation into the incident.

Do Gazans work on their way to Israel?

Israel has agreed to allocate 5,000 work visas to workers from the Gaza Strip, the Lebanese newspaper Al-Ahbar reported Saturday, which is close to Hezbollah. According to reports, the visas have been changed to commercial status. The report did not mention what Israel would receive in the deal.

Al-Ahbar claims that Israel demanded that the details be hidden from the media, and that the number of visas could increase to 15,000 starting next year. Nonetheless, it is clear that in any situation the number will remain significantly lower than it was before the Hamas coup in the Gaza Strip in 2007 - some 120,000 workers.

90 killed in the Somalia attack

At least 90 people have been killed and dozens more injured in the blast at a crowded checkpoint in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. Abdikadir Abed-Rahman Haji Eden, from the ambulance service in the capital, told Reuters: "So far we have counted 90 killed and 51 wounded.

No organization immediately claimed responsibility for the explosion, but it is believed to be the operation of Boko Haram, the affiliate of ISIS in Africa. Mogadishu Mayor Omar Muhammad said in a conversation with reporters at the blast site that the government confirmed that at least 90 civilians, mostly students, were killed in the blast.

The Israelis flocked to Hermon

The Hermon site opened on Saturday to many visitors and Israelis came to enjoy the winter snow. Due to the harsh weather conditions and heavy fog, access was only allowed to the lower level, not the surf complexes.

Among the first visitors this morning were the Wekselman family from Kfar Saba, who came to the site and were enthusiastic about the fresh white snow. For their youngest son, Ethan has never been the first time he sees snow.

In the morning, traffic jams did not accumulate on the roads leading to the site. This is because the surf complexes did not open due to the inclement weather and the skiers preferred to stay home.

Sick financing songs in swine flu

The songwriter Maimon announced that she was ill with the swine flu. "I've been sick for over a week, and yesterday I was diagnosed with swine flu, that's what it's called," the singer at Storey wrote on her official Instagram page. "This is a widespread effect this winter and in my case it has also become quite complicated," she added without elaborating on the nature of the complication.

She also noted that her children also suffer from the disease. "I do not wish anyone this nightmare and my children kidnapped, which is the really big nightmare," the post reads.

Later, the singer announced that she had no choice but to cancel her scheduled show tonight (Q), which all tickets had been sold out in advance. "I really apologize to the beloved crowd and promise that I will be there soon and I'll be with you." The post does not describe how ticket buyers will distribute, so buyers are advised to follow developments on the issue.
