A major terrorist attack was thwarted this afternoon when IDF soldiers of the elite Egoz unit, covered and aided by combat helicopters, killed four terrorists just southeast of the Kinneret Sea.

As an alumnus of the inaugural March of the Living, I was appalled to read in the Israeli media that the March has cancelled the Israel leg of its 2002 journey. The definition of a march is a purposeful journey, on foot, from a starting point to a final goal. As a participant in the […]

The Israel Defense Force is operating under a particularly bizarre situation: in a normal country, the straightforward goal of destroying the enemy’s ability to carry out terror attacks allows the army to identify what targets should be destroyed/controlled in order to achieve this goal.
