Three murdered a day in Kafr Qara
A shooting incident was carried out earlier today at the imam of the mosque in the village of Qara, Sami Abdeltif, near the mosque. Medical officials arrived at the scene and pronounced him dead. This is apparently a response to last night's double murder, in which a 14-year-old boy and his 33-year-old brother-in-law were murdered. The police have opened an investigation into the circumstances of the incident.

ISA veterans against Tali Gottlieb
About 800 former Shin Bet veterans issued a statement today condemning Tali Gottlieb after she claimed on Twitter yesterday that "the Shin Bet and the IDF work for terrorists and security prisoners." Gottlieb's remarks were made in support of Minister Ben-Gvir's announcement on toughening the conditions for visits to security prisons.
A statement issued by the group "Veterans of the Shin Bet for the Defense of Democracy" stated: "We, 800 veterans of the Shin Bet, neither we nor the rest of our friends, women and service personnel past and present, work for terrorists. Who you work for, Tali Gottlieb, and who reserved you for the Likud list – we know very well."
It's good to know that the Shin Bet and the IDF work for the security prisoners. The whole deepstate against Minister Ben-Gvir. Congratulations to you Itamar for right-wing governance. Security prisoners, brutal murderers, have been enjoying delusional benefits for years. And if limiting the rights of murderous terrorists to the Shin Bet and the IDF harms security, then something very bad is happening here
