Tragedy in Nepal:

Shmuel (Shmulik) Buikner, a 30-year-old man from Or Akiva, was killed when an elephant attacked him, in the Chitwan National Park in Nepal.

The incident happened yesterday afternoon.

Buickner entered the park, apparently on his own.

After walking about a kilometer into the park, he tried to take pictures on the spot.

Then, an elephant emerged from behind him and trampled him to death.

An unusual event in Samaria

A shooting from a passing vehicle was carried out yesterday evening (Friday) at a military post at Jit Junction.

Position vulnerabilities have been detected.

IDF forces began searching the area during which several bullet casings were found.

Hanan Yuval's protest

Veteran Israeli singer Hanan Yuval refused an offer to sing in the Knesset at an event on the eve of Memorial Day for the IDF Martyrs, which is produced for the Knesset and the Ministry of Defense. Yuval's refusal mainly concerns a video released by MK Almog Cohen (Otzma Yehudit) in which he humiliated the Arab members of the Knesset with insults, and referred to them As animals, with Shas chairman Aryeh Deri sitting next to him.

"This is not my Knesset."

They fear political interference

After it was decided to add the "Shay Nitzan section" to the Arrangements Law, and in light of the Minister of Education's demand to stipulate in the law that he is the one who will appoint the members of the board and the officials in the National Library, dozens of award-winning writers and poets sent a joint letter, in which they protested his intention to interfere in the selection of the library's management.

They claim that the clause is intended to remove the former state attorney who was involved in the Netanyahu files from his position as rector of the National Library.

Among the signatories: David Grossman, Ilan Sheinfeld, Haim Baer, ​​Amalia Rosenblum and Merik Schnir.

Profound protest

Following many requests addressed to the head of the Mossad and after consultation with the organization's legal advisor, it was decided to allow the employees who oppose the government's legal moves to participate in the demonstrations, but under restrictive conditions, it was announced yesterday (Friday) in News 12.

In the meantime, it was also published about a particularly outrageous statement by Prime Minister Netanyahu during the last cabinet meeting, in which he harshly attacked the protesters and called for them to be beaten.

I want to give you a fist to hit them - you have to hit them with a lie," he said.

The chain of demonstrations continues

Tens of thousands of people will participate tonight in demonstrations across the country against the legal revolution led by the Netanyahu government.

Last Saturday evening over 100 thousand people participated in the demonstrations all over the country.

The expectation is that this week the numbers will be similar.

The police informed about the main roads that will be blocked near the protest centers.
