Did master-spy Eli Cohen really persuade the Syrian army to plant Eucalyptus groves on the Golan Heights to provide shade for their soldiers, thus pinpointing bunkers for Israeli fighter jets to blow up? Whether or not the legend is accurate, the trees, and the dugouts, are there until today; some of them are on the property of the recently opened Pereh Hotel– surely one of the most peaceful and luxurious spots in Israel. And, strangely, Eli Cohen is tangentially the cause. In 1965, when Cohen was hanged in Damascus, Leo Gleser from Argentina, then 16, watched the gruesome TV footage with his Hashomer Hatza'ir friends.

The National Unity party led by Defense Minister Benny Gantz will not limit itself to a minimum number of seats in the upcoming election in order to demand that Gantz receive the mandate to form a government, the party's number two, Justice Minister Gideon Saar, said on Saturday. Sa'ar's comment, which he made on Channel 12's Meet the Press, marks a change in the party's policy, after its number three, former chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot, said a number of weeks ago that the party would need to receive a number in the high teens in order to demand the premiership.

A maritime gas deal between Israel and Lebanon is still on the table and could be concluded "within days," but just in case the deal falls through the IDF remains braced for violence on its northern border, Defense Minister Benny Gantz said over the weekend as he warned Hezbollah not to attack Israel. 'Negotiations are continuing,' Gantz said in interviews he gave on Friday to Israeli news stations Channels 11 and 12, as he spoke about a US-brokered deal that would set a maritime border in such a way as to allow for Israel to extract natural gas from the Karish rig and for Lebanon to operate in the neighboring Kana one.

Seven months after Heshy Tischler was charged with inciting a riot in Brooklyn's Borough Park, the Orthodox activist and provocateur has been sentenced to 10 days of community service.Tischler, a radio host who is now running for City Council, was arrested in October on charges of unlawful imprisonment of a journalist and member of the Hasidic community. He pled guilty to inciting a riot, one of four charges that he drew during a week of turbulent protests in Borough Park last fall when the heavily Orthodox Brooklyn neighborhood was placed under tighter restrictions due to rising COVID-19 cases there.

With sirens blaring almost constantly and missiles hitting the center of Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, Rabbi Nachum Ehrentrau can hear rockets detonating just several hundred meters from his synagogue. The rabbi and his wife, Dina, have directed Chabad-Lubavitch of Zaporizhzhia (also spelled Zaporozhye) for the past 27 years. Shelling notwithstanding, they're in Zaporizhzhia with four of their children preparing for the High Holidays. 'Today, there were very close hits,' Rabbi Ehrentrau told Chabad.org.

Jewish settler violence is to blame for increased terror activities and rising tensions across Jerusalem and the West Bank, Meretz chairwoman Zehava Galon claimed in a Shabbatarbut event in Petach Tikva. Galon added that the IDF is "securing convoys of settlers who come [to the West Bank] to provoke Palestinians...they beat them, the settlers are extremely violent toward Palestinians." Israel's security establishment must act in a stronger manner against the settlers, she lamented. She further called for Defense Minister Benny Gantz to "restrain and moderate" IDF soldiers operating in the West Bank.
