Israel News:

The Shabbat is victorious:  The transportation and social services ministers instructed their employees to keep the status quo and not work on Shabbat doing maintenance on the Israel railways lines as originally planned.

The coalition and the opposition parties both agreed to raise the handicap stipend to a usable 4,000 shekel a month instead of the insufficient raise to 3,200 shekel. The Simchon commission recommended the 3,200 shekel stipend raising the ire of the whole country and the coalition head David Bittan rejected the recommendations at a press meeting attended by representatives of every Knesset party. He called upon the government to accept the proposal that all the parties unanimously recommended.

“Terror is here to stay,” were the words of IDF's Intelligence Director, Major General Hertzi Halevi, “ISIS lost territory and lost a lot of manpower, but instead of a Islamic Caliphate on the ground in the Middle East, we find there exists a virtual Caliphate. There connection between the pressure on Mosul and al-Raka and the current wave of terrorism in Europe is clear.”
“Hezbollah’s continued military buildup and destabilizing activities in southern Lebanon have serious repercussions on regional stability”, Danon said in the General Assembly.

The Ministry of Health reports that the quality has gone up in Israeli hospitals in every parameter in 2016 compared to 2015.

3.45 km was the distance a Canadian sniper succeeded to accurately shoot when shooting down an ISIS soldier using one sole shot. This appears to be a new record set on the right target.

Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon showed maps to the UN General assembly  revealing that what is supposed to be the agricultural NGO, ‘Green Without Borders,’ is really  funded by Hezbollah and creates observation posts to watch activity in Israel. Hezbollah makes sure UN peacekeeping forces are kept away from these posts so they won’t see the truth that they’re military outposts having nothing to do with agriculture.
