A tense night in the south of the country

36 rockets and shrapnel were fired last night (Friday-Saturday) from the Gaza Strip towards the Gaza Envelope, after several days of clashes between Jews and Arabs in Jerusalem and Jaffa.

Twelve of the rockets were intercepted, and the rest fell in open areas and caused no casualties or actual damage.

After residents of the south were instructed to stay overnight in protected areas, this morning the IDF ordered a return to routine.

Following the escalation between the parties, Egyptian sources told the Qatari newspaper Al-Arabi al-Jadid that a security delegation would arrive from Egypt to visit the Gaza Strip and Israel soon, where it would meet with Israeli officials and heads of Palestinian terrorist organizations, including Hamas, in an attempt to calm the situation. .

Following the launches, the IDF attacked underground infrastructure of the Hamas terrorist organization, rocket launchers and other targets during the night in the Gaza Strip. In addition, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and defense leaders convened to assess the situation and Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi decided to postpone his trip to the United States.

"Syrian oil tanker attacked"

Syria's official news agency reported tonight that an oil tanker was attacked near the shores of the city of Banias and began to come under fire.

According to the report, the ship was attacked by an unmanned aircraft coming from the direction of the Lebanese border, and after a while control of the fire that broke out at the site was achieved.

The agency did not accuse Israel of assault.

Will Bennett form a unity government?

The chairman of the right, MK Naftali Bennett, posted a post on his Facebook account last night, in which he announced that he had opened talks to form a national unity government, but added that "the door to the right-wing government is still open."

Bennett refuted Prime Minister Netanyahu's claims that he prevented the formation of a right-wing government by opposing the promotion of a direct election for prime minister, and argued that the obstacle to the formation of such a government was Netanyahu himself - who claimed to have failed to persuade religious Zionist chairman MK Bezalel Smutrich, to join a minority government or to persuade the new chairman of Tikva, MK Gideon Saar, to join the government under him.

Protesters blocked the Wadi Ara junction

Thousands of protesters blocked the Wadi Ara junction on Road 65 this evening in both directions, near Umm al-Fahm, apparently following the riots that took place during the past week in Jerusalem.

The protesters who arrived at the scene chanted slogans condemning the State of Israel and some waved Palestinian Authority flags and signs with slogans expressing sympathy with residents of the Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem.

Large police forces who arrived at the scene evacuated the protesters from the road.

The riots in Jerusalem continue

The riots and riots in Jerusalem continued yesterday, after Arab youths attacked with batons, stones and kicks a Jew who passed them while walking with his dog.

In many centers in the east and north of the city, stones were thrown and fireworks were fired at the security forces, even during the late hours of the night.

Palestinian documentation: A Jew beaten by Arabs in East Jerusalem

In addition, hundreds of Arabs rioted last night at the Qalandiya checkpoint.

They threw stones and Molotov cocktails, fired fireworks and set fire to tires.

Dozens more rioted in the area of ​​Rachel's Tomb.

In another case, a 22-year-old security guard was slightly injured in the city of David, after being hit by a stone that hit his head.

The missing submarine was located

The Indonesian submarine lost in the Bali Sea was found today at a depth of 850 meters.

The Indonesian navy is preparing for the rescue, but the chances of rescuing life crew members from it are very slim.

According to military estimates, in the optimal case where the submarine KRI Nanggala-402 was not hit, enough oxygen remained for the 53 crew members just until this morning. The fact that it is built to withstand a depth of up to 500 meters raises the concern that it was crushed due to the water pressure at the depth at which it was found.
