The IDF Air Corps (IAF) is upgrading its F-15 and F-15I (the latter being an F-15 designed specifically for Israel) fighter jets for use in long-distance operations.
Anyone thinking Iran?
According to IDF journal BaMachaneh, the F-15I model is currently being fitted with two new systems – one called “Barad Pelada” (“Steel Hail”), and another named Lightning.
The Barad Pelada advanced weapons system has been operational in the IAF’s F-16s for almost four years, but had to be modified in order to fit the F-15.
Barad Pelada is an advanced Israeli armament that operates like a smart bomb. “The system is unique in that it is able to plan the bombing in an accurate way by identifying the target from above,” a knowledgeable source in the IAF explained. “After the identification, the system carries out guidance to the target and only then is impact made.”
The Lightning advanced attack system has also been in use in the IAF’s other jets. Until now, the F-15I jets had to rely on the older Inbar system, which used to be fitted in all of the IAF’s jets but was gradually phased out.
The Inbar system is capable of providing an operational solution in some ranges, but other attack scenarios require advanced systems like the Lightning, IAF sources said. “The need for the new system led to an accelerated procedure of development of advanced means,” a source in the IAF’s Weapons Department explained. “Once the testing at the Flight Experiment Center is finished, we will complete the system’s integration in the aircraft.”
It's June and schools are hosting graduation ceremonies. Each school has its own ceremony and invites friends and family to celebrate with the entire community.

The children perform a “victory” dance around corpses of IDF soldiers lying on the ground (center), with Israeli mini-flags on their uniforms. The children carry flags of Palestine and a model of the Dome of the Rock on their shoulders.
The parents of the graduating class must be so proud.
تنسيق-الكليات-لعام سكس نيك كس U.S. counterterrorism officials have finally authenticated this video (I posted it back in the beginning of April) by an al Qaeda recruiter threatening to smuggle anthrax into the United States via tunnels under the Mexico border.
The video makes clear that al Qaeda is looking to exploit weaknesses in U.S. border security and also is willing to ally itself with white militia groups or other anti-government entities interested in carrying out an attack inside the United States, according to counterterrorism officials interviewed by The Washington Times.
The video first aired by the Arabic news network Al Jazeera in February and later posted to several Web sites, including here, shows Kuwaiti dissident Abdullah al-Nafisi, a veteran recruiter for al Qaeda with close ties to the Taliban, telling a room full of supporters in Bahrain that al Qaeda is casing the U.S. border with Mexico to assess how to send terrorists and weapons into the U.S. "Four pounds of anthrax -- in a suitcase this big -- carried by a fighter through tunnels from Mexico into the U.S. are guaranteed to kill 330,000 Americans within a single hour if it is properly spread in population centers there," the recruiter said. "What a horrifying idea; 9/11 will be small change in comparison. Am I right? There is no need for airplanes, conspiracies, timings and so on. One person, with the courage to carry 4 pounds of anthrax, will go to the White House lawn, and will spread this 'confetti' all over them, and then we'll do these cries of joy. It will turn into a real celebration."
Hezbollah -- an Iran-backed terrorist organization based in Lebanon -- is using routes that Mexican drug lords control to smuggle contraband and people into the United States to finance operations.
In the video, al-Nafisi describes his admiration for Hezbollah and says that al Qaeda has scientists and resources at its disposal.
In addition to Hezbolla and al Queda, Syria has an extensive bio weapons arsenal and poses an immediate threat to both the US and Israel. Syria's bio weapons program also utilizes Iranian scientists and technitions.
Israel, unlike the US, is well prepared WMD attacks. Our citizens have experience with Scud attacks, homeland security drills and Israel is poised to interdict WMD attacks because our intelligence services are so competent.
The US needs to prepare themselves for WMD and bioweapons attacks that Islamic Terrorists are planning and to strengthen their borders.
Over 3500 illegal aliens of middleastern origin are apprehended by the U.S Border Patrol along the Mexican border each year.
According to Todd Benesmen of the San Antonio Times, the human smuggling of middleasterners begins in the Terrorist state of Syria.
Fox News report on planned attack on US Military Training Base by Terrorists. Terrorists and weapons were smuggled into the US and are in Texas.
تنسيق-الكليات-لعام سكس نيك كس I get lots of emails from readers asking about Israel.
What it's like to live here, Israel's history, the Arab-Israeli conflict, dealing with Islamic terrorists on a daily basis, how it feels to serve as a reserve officer in the IDF, what it's like to live in the only democracy in the Middle East, etc.
I always try to email back with answers and sometimes post the information here.
Here are some undisputed facts about Israel that may help you understand what we deal with.
1. Israel became a nation in 1312 B.C.E., two thousand years before the rise of Islam.
2. Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the modern State of Israel.
3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 B.C.E. the Jews have had dominion over the land for one thousand years with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years.
4. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 C.E. lasted no more than 22 years.
5. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital. Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, from 1948 until 1967, they never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit.
6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Old Testament, the Jewish Holy Scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran, ever.
7. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem.
8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem.
9. Arab and Jewish Refugees: In 1948 the Arab refugees were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders promising to purge the land of Jews. Sixty-eight percent left without ever seeing an Israeli soldier.
10. Since 1948, over 630,000 Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab brutality, persecution and pogroms.
11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be around 630,000.
12. Arab refugees were INTENTIONALLY not absorbed or integrated into the Arab lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own peoples' lands. Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel, a country no larger than the state of New Jersey.
13. The Arab - Israeli Conflict: The Arabs are represented by eight separate nations, not including the self named Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation. The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended itself each time and won.
14. The PLO's Charter, and the PA's constitution still calls for the destruction of the State of Israel.
15. Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated and the Jews were denied access to places of worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all faiths.
16. Of the 175 UN Security Council resolutions passed before 1990; there were 97 directed against Israel.
17. Of the 690 UN General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed against Israel.
18. The UN was silent while 58 Jerusalem Synagogues were destroyed by the Jordanians.
19. The UN was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives.
20. The UN was silent while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like policy of preventing Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and the Western Wall.
تنسيق-الكليات-لعام سكس نيك كس The PA (Palestinian Authority السلطة الوطنية الفلسطينية ) is a subsidiary agency of Fataḥ ( فتح) the leading Palestinian political party and the largest faction of arch terrorist Yassir Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
The full name of the movement is حركة التحرير الوطني الفلسطيني ḥarakat al-taḥrīr al-waṭanī al-filasṭīnī, meaning the "Liberation Organization of the Palestinian Nation". From this was crafted the reverse acronym Fatḥ (or Fatah), meaning "opening", "conquering", or "victory". The word Fatah is used in religious discourse to signify the Islamic expansion in the first centuries of Islamic history -- as in Fath al-Sham, the "opening of the Levant" -- and so has positive connotations for Muslims. Fatah founders included Yassir Arafat, who was born in Cairo, Egypt and was then the head of the General Union of Palestinian Students (GUPS) (1952–56) in Cairo University.
The PA maintains an official uniformed armed service which various sources estimate to include anywhere from 40,000 to 80,000 recruits employing some armored cars, and automatic weapons. Officially termed a "police force", it is one of the countless violations of the failed Oslo Accords which limit the force to 30,000 recruits.
Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades ( كتائب شهداء الأقصى ) - The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades were created to bolster the organization's militant standing. The Brigades are are generally seen as tied to the "young guard" of Fatah politics. They have carried out suicide bombings against Israel and Israeli civilians, often despite public condemnation from the Fatah leadership. The Brigades, under the direct leadership of Fatah proper, are listed as a terrorist organization by the United States and are responsible for over 130 deaths of Israelis.
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades women are featured in this CBS video.
TV dramatization of woman suicide terrorist Reem Riyashi’s four-year-old daughter vowing to be a suicide terrorist like her mother
[Background: Reem Riyashi killed four Israelis and wounded seven in 2004.] The following is the TV dramatization of the song in which Duha, Reem's daughter, sings to her mother:
[Daughter sees mother preparing explosives sticks] "Mommy, what are you carrying in your arms instead of me? [Mother turns to hide bomb] A toy or a present for me?... Mommy Reem! Why did you put on your veil? Are you going out, Mommy?... Come back quickly, Mommy I can't sleep without you,... [Daughter sees mother's picture and news story about bombing on PA TV] My mother, my mother,... Instead of me you carried a bomb in your hands. Only now, I know what was more precious than us...
[Images of her mother's grave and the graves of other terrorists, including Aayat Al-Akhras, 17-year-old female suicide terrorist] Send greetings to our Messenger [Muhammad] and tell him: 'Duha loves you.' My love will not be [merely] words. I am following Mommy in her steps. [Finds explosives that mother left in her drawer, picks up stick of explosives] Oh Mommy, oh Mommy."
تنسيق-الكليات-لعام سكس نيك كس The IDF has another new weapon in it's arsenal, a robotic snake. This Self-propelled robot is able to broadcast video using a reconnaissance camera and sound to a monitor and control station.
The robotic snake, which is about two meters long and is covered in military camouflage, mimics the movements and appearance of real snakes, slithering around through caves, tunnels, cracks and buildings, while at the same time sending images and sound back to a soldier who controls the device through a laptop computer.
Able to bend its joints so well that it can squeeze through very tight spaces, the new device can even be used to find people buried under collapsed buildings. The snake is also able to arch its body, allowing it to see over obstacles through its head camera.
Researchers studied the movements of live snakes in order to create the most natural and realistic robotic version.
The IDF plans to provide combat units with these devices.
Besides recording multimedia, the snake is also designed to carry explosives.
The Israeli Ministry of Defense, with experts from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, based the design of this intelligence-gathering robot on a previous project of Ben-Gurion University, which created a slew of robotic animals with special abilities. Eight months ago, researchers at Ben-Gurion University reported they had developed “robot snakes” capable of navigating through pipes and narrow openings.
The Ben-Gurion report also detailed other robot animals, including, a cat that climbs walls using its claws, and a “dog-droid” that responds to the human movements.
