The Shin Bet security service has detained a Jewish, 25-year-
old resident of Ramat Gan, on suspicion that he helped
Palestinian terrorists carry out a suicide bombing that

Following attempts by the local authority to prevent the
setup of a Torah-based school, Betzedek, a legal advocacy
organization, recently warned the City of Modi'in that the
local authority does not have the power to enforce the
closure of "recognized but unofficial" schools while
prioritizing official schools. Modi'in is the largest urban
unit in the area of Modi'in Illit, but it is politically
separate. The Prisons Service is prepared to accommodate the arrests of
900 people during the Disengagement process, 500 at
Maassiyahu Jail and 400 at Dekel, according to a report by
Prisons Service Commissioner Commander Yaakov Ganot.

Summer is Snake Season Summer is snake season in Israel and around the world. While
snakes are not common in built-up areas, they are sometimes
found. Also many people spend time in less settled areas in
the summer, especially during bein hazmanim.
When writing about worldwide terror, the media struggle to be
politically correct (PC) and journalistically neutral. To
most of them, this means that if there is a conflict, they
should strive to report the perspectives of both sides to the
conflict without favoring either side; to produce what they
call "balanced" reports. Grandfather From Bluzhov
I was then a young married man. My chin was just beginning to
sprout a beard. The happiness of the first year of my
marriage and the increasing responsibility of my task seemed
to have drawn a rosy curtain over my life. Few can have been
granted that absolute feeling of serenity that I then
enjoyed. At least, that is how I see it today from the
distance of many years.
