palestinian hole in security fence, but...
An Israeli security official
said security forces are altering their previous “silk gloves” approach
to rioters such as a group of Palestinians who entered Jerusalem on
Friday without passing through a security checkpoint. The Palestinians
used hammers to make a hole in the security barrier between Jerusalem
and Abu Dis.
The Palestinian fence breach and protest was held as part of events
related to the recently held annual Nakba (“catastrophe”) Day, a day on
which Arabs mourn the establishment of the state of Israel.
The security fence was put up by Israel as a way of protecting its
citizens from attacks by Palestinians from
Palestinian-Authority-controlled cities in Judea and Samaria. But
despite the presence of the fence, Yehuda Dana, security chief for the
Beit El region, told Israel National News that Palestinians are continually “throwing rocks into the community, causing injuries.”
According to the Palestinian protesters, Israeli Border Police fired
tear gas and rubber bullets at them after they entered through the hole
in the fence, and there were several injuries. Dana said such
Palestinian rioters were often previously handled with “silk gloves,”
but that “their brazenness has crossed the line.”

“They Were Carrying Us”:
Jacky and Tzipi Baldran built Kibbutz Lotem with their own hands and with the help of their children, Yigal, Nitzan and Aviv. Nitsan served as a fighter in the Golani Brigade. His last mission was in Lebanon in November 1998. Jacky says: “at 3:15 am, we heard a neighbor and soldiers knocking at the door. I went downstairs and I immediately understood what was going on”.

of blessed memory
Two
years ago, Palestinian terrorists broke into the Fogel family home, in
the small Israeli community of Itamar. They brutally murdered Ruth and
Udi Fogel, and three of their children. The IDF and the Israel Security
Agency brought the terrorists to justice. Today, we honor the memory of
the Fogel family.

IDF news
Author: Gabriel Freund
On March 11, 2011, Israel reeled from the news of the
shocking deaths of five members of the Fogel family, brutally
slaughtered in their family home in the Israeli community of Itamar. On
that night, two Palestinian terrorists from the nearby town of Awarta
infiltrated the small Israeli community and broke into the Fogel's home
while they slept, stabbing to death the parents and three of their
children, including Hadas – just three months old.
The IDF responded quickly to the incident, conducting investigations
alongside the Israel Security Agency (ISA or Shin Bet) which led to the
capture and arrest of the two terrorists – Hakim Awad and Amjad Awam –
who were subsequently tried and convicted of five counts of murder. They
are currently serving five consecutive life sentences in prison.
The examination into the incident revealed that the men had links to
the PFLP terror organization. Hamas sources praised the vicious attack
as 'heroic'.
The Fogel family's tragic story reminds us that the IDF has no option
other than constant vigilance against the endless attempts of agents of
terror to harm Israel's citizens.
The Military Police Corps' Erez Battalion has recorded a sharp
increase in seizures and apprehensions at crossings and barriers in the
Judea and Samaria and Jerusalem regions in recent years. This alarming
trend represents both the evolving methods of would-be illegal
infiltrators, as well as the battalion's growing effectiveness in
preventing such intrusions.
Among the apprehensions and seizures have been countless cases of
forged identity documents, as well as attempts to illegally smuggle
weapons. In a recent incident, IDF forces apprehended a terrorist
released during the Shalit deal who was attempting to infiltrate Israeli
territory.
In 2012 soldiers from the Erez Battalion apprehended 1,450
Palestinians attempting to enter Israel illegally, a sober reminder that
IDF forces are the line of defense, every day preventing the entry of
terrorists planning to carry out attacks against Israeli citizens.

Arabs throw everything they got on MAGAV - border police
The video shows a convoy of Border Police vehicles passing through a street in eastern Jerusalem. Local children and youths proceed
to attack the force at close range, hurling rocks and cinder
blocks, and slamming various objects, including a supermarket cart, into
a jeep.
The Border Policemen inside do not leave the jeeps. All they do is to
drive threateningly in reverse on a couple of occasions, and hurl some
tear gas canisters.
The IDF has issued extremely strict orders to soldiers, to avoid
violence against the Arab population in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem at
virtually all cost. These orders are generally seen as the result of a
combination of international pressure, leftist behavior by the press,
and leftist influence within the Israeli legal system.
As a result, hostile Arabs exhibit brazenness at unprecedented
levels. Several similar videos have been posted in recent months,
including one showing Arab children throwing paint on an IDF convoy at Nabi Saleh. (Arutz Sheva)
