Dear Subscriber,
Arutz Sheva is holding its annual Telethon Day, today through tomorrow
afternoon. Once a year, we turn to our listeners and readers asking to
help us expand our programming and reach more people. In the very near
future, we plan to add, in conjunction with our server Virtual Jerusalem,
24-hour-a-day live Arutz-7 broadcasts over the internet.
If the Arutz Sheva E-mail Service is important to you, and you would like
to concretely express that, please refer to the info at the end of today's
report on how to help us.
With Love of Israel,
The Arutz Sheva Internet Staff
TODAY'S HEADLINES:
1. STRONGER IDF HEVRON POLICIES; LEVY CALLS FOR CONSTRUCTION
2. ARABS CUT PHONE LINES
3. PATV: JEWS OF TODAY ARE NOT RELATED TO BIBLICAL JEWS
4. FOUR DROWN IN INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT
5. MEVASERET SQUATTERS EVICTED
6. ANOTHER TERRORIST "ESCAPE"
7. STUDENT-SOLDIER MEETINGS PROPOSED
1. STRONGER IDF HEVRON POLICIES; LEVY CALLS FOR CONSTRUCTION
The IDF has changed it policy in Hevron, and has begun to employ the
services of "secret agents" amongst the Arab rioters. At least six
stone-throwers were arrested today; quiet prevailed in the afternoon.
Transportation Minister Rabbi Yitzchak Levy, speaking with Arutz-7 today,
said that the question of how to deal with the riots is important, but that
what really worries him is the Jewish community there. "It is small,
though it is made up of 'big' people, but we have to make sure that it
grows. There is a danger to their lives, and if there are more people
there, the more secure they will be...The government must allow them to
build and expand. I will most definitely demand as much at tomorrow's
government meeting."
Chief Rabbi Rishon LeTzion Rabbi Bakshi-Doron is scheduled to arrive in
Hevron this afternoon, accompanied by O.C. Central Command Maj.-Gen. Uzi
Dayan. It is possible that the Rishon LeTzion will meet with the Mufti of
Hevron.
2. ARABS CUT PHONE LINES
The telephone lines in the Gush Katif community of Kfar Darom were
vandalized last night and this morning by Palestinians. Service was
restored at only 3 PM this afternoon. Elsewhere in Gush Katif - quiet
today. Many Gush Katif residents arrived in Morag this afternoon in a show
of identification with the residents of Morag.
3. PATV: JEWS OF TODAY ARE NOT RELATED TO BIBLICAL JEWS
The official Palestinian Authority television station recently aired a show
which claimed that there is no connection between the Jews of today and
those of the Bible. A geographer and a historian participated in the
broadcast, and said that the true descendants of the Biblical Children of
Israel are the Palestinians of today. One of the participants, Jarid
Elkadaweh, said, "God is my witness that in my blood there is more of the
Children of Israel than in that of Ariel Sharon and Binyamin Netanyahu."
4. FOUR DROWN IN INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT
Four people drowned this morning in Ein Bokek, near the Dead Sea, in a
sulfur oxidizing pool of the Tamar Regional Council. Two workers
originally fell into the pool, under unexplained circumstances. Two
lifeguards from a nearby beach then jumped in to save them, but were unable
to do so, and also drowned.
5. MEVASERET SQUATTERS EVICTED
In the Absorption Center in Mevaseret Zion, the police completed a
night-long operation this morning, evicting some 90 families who had
illegally taken over apartments there during the past three weeks. The
illegal residents had begun a pattern of taking control of apartments as
they became available, and last night attacked a policeman who arrived to
protect one of the newly-emptied apartments. The police responded in kind,
and by morning all of the 90 apartments had been evacuated of their illegal
residents. The atmosphere at present is quietly tense, as many of the
families are still standing in the neighborhood outside the apartments, and
hundreds of policemen are standing guard. Threats by the evicted
squatters against Deputy Housing Minister Meir Porush are being taken
seriously. A new immigrant in the Absorption Center, Shoshana Weinberg,
told Arutz-7 that the past three weeks were very uncomfortable for her and
her family. She said that although she had been threatened by many of the
"invaders" over the past days, and was "disgusted by their lack of regard
for other people and their property," she had managed to talk to some of
them and understand their basic motive: decreasing ability to buy
increasingly-expensive housing. However, her fears that the government
would "reward their indecent behavior" and give in to their demands have
meanwhile been proven unfounded.
6. ANOTHER TERRORIST "ESCAPE"
One of the members of the Kfar Tsurif terrorist cell has "escaped" from his
Palestinian Authority prison cell in Hevron. Israeli security sources are
doubtful that he escaped, and say that Arafat has given in to demands to
free imprisoned Hamas members. The Kfar Tsurif gang was responsible for
the murder of eleven Israelis and the wounding of almost 50 others. They
murdered the soldier Sharon Edry, placed the bomb at the Apropos Cafe in
Tel Aviv in which three women were killed, and committed the drive-by
shooting-murders of Major Dr. Oz Tivon and Sgt. Yaniv Shimol in Jan 1996;
Yaron and Efrat Ungar in June 1996; and Ze'ev, Uri, and Rachel Munk in July
1996.
7. STUDENT-SOLDIER MEETINGS PROPOSED
Education Minister Zevulun Hammer proposes that the high schools should
hold regular meetings between about-to-enlist high school students and
combat soldiers, as a motivation-building gesture. Hammer said that one of
the main lessons of such educational activities of the past year has been
that meetings of this sort do much to increase motivation among the
students. Following some meetings of this sort that took place over the
past year, the students and soldiers talked together about topics such as
motivation to serve in the IDF, values, and Zionism.
