12 Sept, 2023, Samaria: Each year, a sizable number of Jewish Israelis enjoy traveling to Uman, Ukraine to pray at the grave site of a famous rabbi there.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that the city of Uman does not have enough bomb shelters for its residents, nevermind the expected 50,000 Jewish pilgrims from Israel.
Jerusalem Post, 12 Sept 2023 pg 1.
The city is located on the north-south road between Kyiv and Odesa, both priority targets for Russia.
12 Sept, 2023: “Put differently, the land is Lebanese, the control is Iranian, the target is Israel,” said Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
Jerusalem Post, 12 Sept 2023 pg 1.
“Gallant added that Iran remains the greatest threat to Israel, though sometimes it uses Hezbollah and other proxies [such as Hamas] to fight its wars against the Jewish state.”
If Hezbollah “goes toward a conflict with us, they will pay a high price. We will not allow Iran to turn Syria into a Hezbollah 2.0 with powerful rockets.”

7 Sept, 2023, Jerusalem: An Arab Muslim from East Jerusalem stabbed two men near Jaffa gate, and a woman was treated for anxiety at the scene of the crime. The 17-yr old terrorist was caught at the scene, Palestinian media identified him, and soon after, his mother and sister were arrested from their home.Jerusalem Post, 7 Sept 2023, pg 1.
Note:In Israeli terminology, “moderately wounded” includes life threatening wounds and loss of limbs. “Lightly wounded” is quite a bit more serious than surface scratches.
3 Sept, 2023, Tel Aviv: Yesterday during Shabbat, which is a day off from work in Israel, thousands of illegal Eritreans got out of hand in a dispute among themselves regarding Eritrean politics.
There are between 25,000 to 30,000 Eritreans who crossed illegally into Israel via Egypt, in addition to others from Sudan.
The Eritrean Embassy in Israel has taken measures to promote its own government positions, and to repatriate what it sees as runaways back to their homeland.
Some Eritreans are in favor and some are opposed to the Eritrean government policies. A gang battle ensued between the two Eritrean factions, resulting in property damage, and injuries among Eritrean people. Around 50 Israeli police were injured while trying to keep the shalom.
The Israel government coalition, led by Netanyahu, says it will now consider deportation as a possible solution. The opposition (the parties which have not joined the coalition) counters that the current government coalition promised to build a solution but has not done anything thus far.
Such gang battles have already occurred during the past two months among Eritreans located in USA and in Europe. Evidently, some Eritreans warned Israeli officials, but seemingly went unheeded.

30 Aug 2023, Samaria: 2024 is a particularly important year to contrast the Eternal Torah Calendar against the Rabbinic Calendar. 2024 is a Disruption Year, like 1970, 2016, and 2019.

25 Aug 2023, Israel: Malka Leifer had been the school principal at a religious Jewish girls’ school in Australia.
When caught, she escaped to Israel to hide. For many years, Australia fought long and hard to extradite her back home for trial. Not that Israel was unwilling, but Malka Leifer’s lawyers argued she was insane, and thus unfit for extradition.
