Sharon and Abbas agree to meet as Israel suspends Gaza Strip offensive

JERUSALEM - Israel Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas agreed Sunday to hold their first summit since Israel's pullout from Gaza as part of their efforts to restart the stalled Middle East peace process, officials from both sides said. The announcement came as a new flare-up in fighting - blamed for the cancellation of a previously scheduled summit - eased in recent days. Israeli officials said Sunday they were suspending the wide-ranging offensive against Palestinian militants following a lull in rocket attacks against Israeli towns, but said they would restart the operation if the rocket fire resumed. The officials said the operation succeeded in weakening militants' ability to attack Israel from Gaza...Read the full article

SHURAT HADIN'S NOVEMBER 2005 MISSION TO EXPLORE THE CONTINUING TERRORIST THREAT TO ISRAEL'S SURVIVAL
Mossad Agents, Arab Operatives, Hamas Trials, Front-Line IDF Positions

Following the overwhelming successes of our eight prior "Ultimate Missions To Israel," Shurat HaDin - Israel Law Center will host another high-impact tour of Israel in mid-November. The Ultimate Mission is a first hand investigation of the challenges of the terrorist threat to Israel's survival. The Ultimate Mission will be held on November 14th thru November 21st, 2005. Registration is still open! Shurat HaDin is inviting doctors, attorneys, accountants, programmers and other professionals from around the world to participate in an intensive and action-packed series of briefings and field tours with Israeli security, military and intelligence officials. The Mission will explore the strategic dangers to the Jewish state from Arab violence and Islamic extremism. Participants will experience a dynamic, hands-on and intensive eight day investigation of Israel's struggle for security and survival in the Middle East today. Mission participants will receive briefings from senior commanders of Israel's intelligence and security services, as well as the other strategic decision-makers who shape and lead Israel's multifaceted war on terrorism. The Mission will also present a rich program of exciting recreational and cultural events.
The eight day program will include the following highlights:
* Briefings by present and past officers in the IDF Intelligence and Operations branches, including the senior commanders of the Shin Bet security service and Mossad.
* An exhibition by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) undercover soldiers who carry out targeted killings of Palestinian terrorists and deep penetration raids in Arab territory.
* Observing the trial of Hamas terrorists in an IDF military court.
* Discussions with Israel's Arab agents who infiltrate the terrorist groups and provide real-time intelligence.
* A first hand investigation of the controversial "security fence" that has enraged the world.
* Intensive, hands-on tours of the front line military positions, the border check-points and intelligence bases.
* Small airplane tour of the Galil, water activities on Lake Kinneret, a cook-out barbecue and a Shabbat enjoying the rich religious and historic wonders of Jerusalem's Old City. "Our six prior missions received such positive responses from both the large group participants and the intelligence service presenters that we feel compelled to offer another Mission this November14, 2005. Participants will be able to view Israel through the eyes of those actually calling the shots - the real policy makers" states Shurat HaDin Director Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, "The briefings by the Mossad, Shin Bet and IDF officials amazed our earlier groups and exhibited the extreme challenges Israel is facing in the war against the terrorists. No other tour has ever presented the hard-core realities of Israel's struggle for survival like the Ultimate Mission."

IDF attack of two structures in Gaza Strip

In a security forces operation early this morning, the IDF targeted two structures in Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip. The structures targeted are an office used by the "Fatah" movement for terror activity, and a structure used by the "Hamas" terror organization as a money changing office. The IDF will continue to act with determination in order to defend the citizens of the State of Israel.

Attack of terror infrastructure in the Gaza Strip

IMRA: "Israel Radio military correspondent Carmella Menashe reported this morning that the shooting of artillery at an empty field constitutes what military sources term the "strong harsh response" that is to serve as a warning to the Palestinians that they must cease shooting Qassams into Israel."

This is not a parody - she said it without a hint of humor/irony. It should be noted that prior to the retreat both politicians and military officials warned of the devastating Israeli response the Palestinians would face if attacks were launched against Israel after the retreat. Retreat supporting politicians, academics and others spoke with confidence that Israel would enjoy a free hand to respond after the retreat and that the fierce response would have a strong deterring effect. It does not appear, at this point that any of the retreat supporting politicians, academics and others have any interest of considering if the absence of any correspondence between reality and their projections should serve to cause them to reevaluate their policy recommendations. As of now, the ever popular call for "cheshbon nefesh" [soul searching] made with particular gusto from time to time against the national camp - and in particular against the religious national camp - does not apply to retreat supporters. IDF stated that an attack of terror infrastructure in the Gaza Strip this morning , the IDF targeted an access route near Beit Hanun, in the northern Gaza Strip, used by terrorists to reach the areas from which Qassam rockets are launched at Israeli targets. This is part of the operation targeting infrastructure used by terror organizations. The objective of targeting this route is to prevent the passage of terrorists to the launch zones, from which they have launched repeated rocket attacks at Israel. The IDF will continue to act with determination in order to defend the citizens of the State of Israel.

ISA and Israel Police Arrest Senior Hamas Terrorist
(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Office)

Yakub Muhammad Yakub Abu Etzev, born in 1972, a resident of Sawana in Jerusalem, and who holds an Israeli identity card, was arrested in a joint ISA-Israel Police operation on 29.8.05. During his investigation, it arose that he was a senior Hamas terrorist. He was in contact, via the internet, with the Hamas command in Saudi Arabia, coordinated the activities of the Hamas command in Judea with the Saudi Arabian command and served as a main conduit in the financing of the Judea command. Abu Etzev exploited his mobility and legal status as a resident of Jerusalem and bearer of an Israeli ID card in order to carry out his activities. Abu Etzev confessed that he received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Hamas HQ in Saudi Arabia as well as instructions that he passed on to Hamas field operatives. He updated the Saudi Arabian HQ on local Hamas actions. The aforementioned funds were received by various means including via special couriers and money-changers. From Abu Etzev's investigation, it arises that before the Hamas leadership's decision to participate in the Palestinian Authority general elections, field operatives were canvassed through special committees in each community. The committees' decisions regarding for or against participating in the elections were sent to Hamas's Saudi Arabian HQ. Abu Etzev was a member of Hamas's supreme coordinating committee and was involved in the organization's logistical preparations ahead of the elections. He also founded Hamas committees in various towns and financed all of the foregoing with funds from the Saudi Arabian command. Abu Etzev admitted that passed the Saudi Arabian HQ's email address on to Omar Natshe, one of Hamas's main operatives in Hebron, who was also arrested. Natshe was also in contact with Hamas's Saudi Arabian HQ, updated in on the views of Hamas's members in Hebron on the elections and - via a money-changer - received funds, a portion of which he gave to Abu Etzev. The funds that Abu Etzev received from Hamas's Saudi Arabian command also served to finance other Hamas activities in both Judea and Jerusalem, including support for the families of suicide terrorists and imprisoned terrorists, support for Hamas institutions, etc., often under the cover of charity work. Among the Hamas-affiliated institutions that received these funds was one on the Temple Mount. Hamas's Saudi Arabian command instructed Abu Etzev to open a communications office to report on matters of interest - such as the security fence, the demolition of terrorists' homes, etc. - to Hamas operatives abroad. The Saudi Arabian HQ transferred large sums of money to cover the costs. On the basis of information obtained from Abu Etzev, as well as from other sources, the Israel Police, on 22.9.05, closed the offices of two Hamas-affiliated institutions. The ISA has also arrested additional Hamas operatives in Jerusalem and Hebron. The security establishment views with utmost gravity the participation of Jerusalem residents in terrorist organizations dedicated to perpetrating attacks against Israelis.

Sealing of "Daawa'" facilities connected with the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror organizations

In a joint IDF and Civil Administration against the infrastructure of the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror organizations, 15 offices of various "Daawa'" organizations were sealed early this morning, September 28 2005. The "Daawa'" organizations were declared illegal following the financial support they provided for families of suicide bombers and imprisoned terrorists. This financial and social support provides an incentive for terrorists to carry out attacks and stems an increase of public support of these terror organizations. Under the guise of a charity association, the "Daawa'" organizations function as system for the flow of terror funds.
