Damascus residents said strong explosions were heard in the capital and its southern suburbs as Syrian state television reported that the country’s air defenses were confronting "Israeli aggression.”
The memo, shared with Netanyahu, the defense minister and other high-ranking officials, warns that Israel’s dangerous downward strategic posture can be attributed to several factors, with the main one being the weakness Israel’s enemies have sensed due to the internal chasm over the judicial reform.
The initiative was jump-started last week when Netanyahu agreed to bring Ben-Gvir's national guard for cabinet approval after the security minister backed his pause of a judicial overhaul proposal that had triggered nationwide street protests.
“We are exacting a high price from the regimes that support terror outside Israel’s borders,” PM Netanyahu said just hours before the incident. Officials said it was possible the provocation was part of Iran's effort to exact revenge for alleged Israeli attacks on its forces in Syria.
The IDF forces provided first aid to one of the would-be infiltrators, who was later medically evacuated to a facility in Israel. Incident comes amid heightened tensions following spate of terrorism.
Budget issues have stalled the creation of the new force, but National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir is examining new models that include removing most of the Border Guard from the auspices of the police.
"Today the Israeli government has identified the danger and has given the IDF the directive to make contingencies to counter our existential threat," Netanyahu says as he bids farewell to Lt. Gen. Aviv Kochavi.
According to preliminary findings, the soldiers brought the ordnance into their room after finding it at a firing zone – contrary to regulations.
Currently, Jews are allowed to visit only Sunday through Thursday and not on evenings, but the new proposals that have been submitted to security officials and are now again on Ben-Gvir’s desk, call for the rollback of the restrictions to the era just after the Six-Day War, when Jews were generally allowed on the mountain without restrictions.
Just 19 years old, Cpl. Baruch Kabarta served in the Military Police’s Erez Battalion, the same as the late Stg. Noa Lazar, who was killed at a Jerusalem checkpoint in November last year.
