IDF: Rocket fired from Jenin in PA-controlled territory

A rocket was fired from Palestinian Authority-controlled territory in Judea and Samaria for the first time this morning (Monday), the IDF reported.

The rocket, which was fired from the city of Jenin, landed in PA-controlled territory and did not pose a risk to Israeli communities at any point, according to the military. No injuries were reported.

Palestinian Arab terrorist groups have been attempting to smuggle and construct rockets in Judea and Samaria in order to be able to launch the rockets at Israeli population centers the way the territory of Gaza has been used to launch many thousands of rockets at Israel since the 2005 Disengagement.

“For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against You: The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites…” Psalm 83:5-6

Last month, the Shin Bet revealed that an Islamic Jihad terrorist cell which was involved in the manufacturing of rockets in Jenin had been broken up. The cell had been acting at the orders of the terrorist organization’s leadership in Gaza.

Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar said at the time that “in recent weeks we thwarted a cell in the area of the Jenin refugee camp that had already begun producing rockets and launchers in order to fire rockets from Samaria to Israel as well. We see this as a dangerous precedent. The members of the infrastructure were arrested and confessed. We have no intention of making Afula or Shaked a target for high-trajectory rocket fire.”

Several weeks later, a group of terrorists distributed a video on social media which they claimed showed a failed attempt to launch a rocket at the Jewish community of Shaked in Samaria.

A note attached to the rocket stated in Arabic that the attempted launch failed and that the next rocket would be bigger.

Vladimir Putin reportedly flees Moscow as Wagner forces advance in Russia

Vladimir Putin’s presidential plane left Moscow early Saturday, sparking rumors that he had fled the Russian capital as the Wagner Group’s mercenary forces advanced on the city.

The president’s aircraft was spotted on flight radar flying northwest from Moscow to the St Petersburg area — but then disappeared from the system near the city of Tver, the BBC reported, where Putin owns a large rural retreat.

Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied that his boss had turned tail amid the crisis, telling news agency TASS that he was “working in the Kremlin.”

But Igor Artamonov, the governor of the Russian region of Lipetsk just south of Moscow, confirmed that a military column carrying Wagner Group men and materiel was on the move through the village of Krasnoye, about 250 miles from the capital, and heading north, according to CNN .

Meanwhile Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov said his forces are coming to help Russia put down the mutiny by the private Wagner Group, which has taken control of one Russian city and gained a foothold in another, creating the biggest threat to Putin’s presidency in his long career.

Wagner group fighters seized control of Rostov-on-Don, moved through Voronezh, and are headed toward Moscow. Vladimir Putin has fled the capital, according to reports.

The Wagner forces included troop carriers and at least one tank on a flatbed truck.

In Moscow, there was an increased security presence on the streets with reports of sandbags blocking key arteries.

Red Square was blocked off by metal barriers.

Report said the Wagner forces included troop carriers and at least one tank on a flatbed truck.

Videos on Twitter showed increasing violence, such as a strike on what appeared to be an insurgent convoy heading for Moscow on the M-4 highway.

Putin compared Prigozhin’s show of force to the Bolshevik revolution and Russia’s civil war that began a little over 100 years ago.
