Israel At War Sunday September 29

Israel at war day 359

- Israeli attack  at an apt in Beirut tonight. The three killed in the Israeli attack in Al-Kola in Beirut are Muhammad Abdel-Ael, Imad Odeh, and Abdel-Rahman Abdel-Ael, all senior members of the PFLP

- Unconfirmed Reports over the last 24 Hours suggest that Major General Maher al-Assad, the Brother of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as well as the Commander of the Syrian Army’s 4th Armoured Division, was Killed yesterday by an Israeli Airstrike on his Home near the Capital of Damascus. Maher and the 4th Armored Division are well known across Syria for their Brutal Crackdown against Anti-Government Demonstrations in 2011, specifically in the City of Daraa where his Forces led a Slaughter against Hundreds if not Thousands of Civilians; they are also known for their Close Ties to Iran and Iranian-Backed Forces operating in Western Syria and Lebanon.

-The IDF reportedly identified Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar's location in Gaza but called off the airstrike due to the risk of harming nearby hostages, Channel 12 reports. Sinwar's whereabouts is currently unknown and the IDF is uncertain about his fate.

- Gideon Sa'ar is joining Bibi's coalition. He will initially enter as a Minister without a Portfolio and a Cabinet member. 

The Israeli security establishment believes that only the destruction of the Hezbollah infrastructure in the Lebanese settlements near the border, through a ground operation, will allow the residents to return safely to their homes. (Nir Davori, Channel 12)

- IDF attacks Yemen: In a large-scale air operation today, dozens of IAF aircraft, including fighter jets, refueling, and intelligence planes, attacked targets used by the Houthi terrorist regime in the areas of Ras Issa and Al Hudaydah in Yemen. The aircraft attacked power plants and a seaport, which are used to import oil. They also attacked infrastructure at the port that the Houthi regime uses to transfer Iranian weapons to the region, supplies for military needs, and oil.

 - Israeli official: "The purpose of the attack in Yemen is to collect a heavy price for their [the Houthis] attacks. If they continue to attack Israel - the attacks will increase. The damage caused to the Houthis is enormous, and it will take them a long time to repair it."

- The body of the Hezbollah leader was removed from the rubble in Dahiya intact. At the time of yesterday's attack by the Air Force planes, he was in a bunker in a place without ventilation, and gases entered the room where he was staying as a result of the explosions, and they are the ones that caused his death
-US networks say IDF may have already begun small raids on Hezbollah in south Lebanon – potential ground offensive would likely be limited.

-Despite swirling rumors, Israel has not yet decided to invade Lebanon as part of the ongoing conflict with Hezbollah, multiple top sources have told the Jerusalem Post.
If the IDF does decide to invade, the current initial plan would be a limited invasion in southern Lebanon or in parts of southern Lebanon.

- A barrage of some 10 rockets was fired from Lebanon at northern Israel a short while ago, setting off sirens in Afula, Nazareth, and numerous other towns in the Jezreel Valley.
According to the IDF, some of the rockets were intercepted by air defenses. There are no reports of injuries or major damage in the attack.

- US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was furious with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Israel when he was informed with very little notice that the IDF was about to kill Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, the Jerusalem Post has learned

  2. Grow up. Move on.
    I was reviewing some of the old posts and came across how bitter you have become. I appreciate your efforts on our behalf but I think at this point you are just causing more damage than help.

  3. The Amish prevailed in court on the grounds of how few Amish - if any - were receiving government assistance and that their community is completely self sustaining without high school education. Lakewood mesivtas would have a lot harder time making such an argument in court. To put it nicely

  4. Right. Not only that, but our people engage in commerce with the rest of society. In Yoder they had their own discrete way of life. Still, if it becomes necessary, ch'v, it's worth the try.

  5. Right. I was helping in NY and I realized that problem with Yoder but some misivtas don’t take federal funds. Anyway, very good point.

    1. Yoder is not a government funding case.
      It's school attendance case.

      What government funding is available to K-12 yeshivot?

  6. Right again. But I am not sure that self sufficiency is necessary. I think we would lose in court because we take part in commerce.

    "When, therefore, one devotes his property to a use in which the public has an interest, he, in effect, grants to the public an interest in that use, and must submit to be controlled by the public for the common good, to the extent of the interest he has thus created." Munn v. Illinois, 94 U.S. 113 (1876). Kind of like in rishonim (Rashba) that the malchus regulates the market.

    BTW Hence, in NY the best chance is in the legislature. The governor has no control over the Department of Education. It is independent and actually older than the state.
