1. HIZBULLAH COLLABORATORS ARRESTED IN NORTHERN GALILEE
by Yoel Domb
It has been released for publication Thursday afternoon that the GSS in correspondence with the police and the army have arrested a number of residents of the Galilee town of Ajar during the month of September under suspicion of being involved in smuggling the explosive devices found near the town of Metulla in July this year.
From the interrogation of the suspects and from information gathered about the case it became apparent that a number of residents of the village of Ajar on the northern border led by Diab Saad Jamil Kamehous established contacts with Hizbullah operatives and smuggled items into Israel through the Lebanese border according to Hizbullah requests as well as performing other espionage activities within Israel for Hizbullah
On Thursday the suspects were indicted by the Northern region state prosecutor for serious offenses against the state of Israel.
2. SHAKED SLAMS AMERICAN ADMINISTRATION
by Arutz Sheva Staff
Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked criticized the American government Thursday in response to a statement released by the US State Department on Wednesday which criticized Israel's plan to build in Judea and Samaria.
In an interview with Army Radio Shaked said, "The Israeli government is doing the right thing. The reaction of the American administration is out of proportion. I advise the American government to focus on how it will save lives in Syria instead of releasing a statement about the construction of a few homes."
Shaked was responding to the statement issued by the Obama administration on Wednesday which "strongly" condemned Israel for plans to construct housing on government land in Judea and Samaria, saying it calls Israel's commitment to a negotiated agreement into question.
Shaked also referred to the appointment of judges and said, "Certainly I will choose judges that reflect my own values. I was chosen by the public to represent a certain agenda and I have come here to make a difference."

Ezra and Esther Hershberg, residents of the Benjamin community of Neria, became the parents of a sixth girl this week and named her Naama in memory of their murdered neighbor Naama Henkin.
Hershberg told Arutz Sheva that their neighborhood was new and empty when they arrived and they struck up a close relationship with the Henkins. Some two days before the terror attack, in which both Eitam and Naama Henkin were murdered at close range near the Elon Moreh community, the couples ate together at the Hershberg's sukkah.
Hershberg said that since the attack he and his wife had thought of ways to perpetuate the couple. "To me it was pretty clear since the attack that my next daughter would be named in memory of Naama. We added the name Batya in honor of our grandmothers but it was clear that her first name would be Naama.
"We admired them so much. I was born in America and when I first met Eitam I asked him if he was a descendant of the great Rabbi Henkin from America. It turned out that he was his great-grandson. He was a precocious Talmid Chacham (Torah scholar) beyond his years. In that last meal together he asked to curtail the meal as he had to prepare a lesson he would be giving that day. He was always being asked to give Torah lessons, we miss him so much."
4. DRUGS AND UNRULY BEHAVIOR ON FLIGHT CAUSED EMERGENCY LANDING
by Arutz Sheva Staff
An El Al pilot was forced to make an emergency landing in Ankara after members of the Hassidic Breslev community were being unruly and smelled of drugs.
A number of videos were publicized showing the passengers being unruly but the report filed by the El Al pilot shows the incident from the perspective of the pilot, detailing that he worried about passengers being too rowdy and taking drugs while on the plane.
In his flight report the pilot writes: I announced that I would make an emergency landing in Ankara because the passengers were endangering other passengers and the flight crew. There was a violent atmosphere in the cabin. The flight was entirely out of the ordinary, the feeling was that the passengers were criminals."
The pilot added that, "El Al does its best to accommodate these Hassidic passengers but I am saying this definitively: If this behavior continues, El Al will lose a plane due to the behavior of such unruly passengers," and added that, "I know that this behavior does not reflect the majority of our passengers."
5. WIG WEARERS EXCLUDED FROM HEARING SHOFAR
by Yoel Domb
Many Hasidic sects as well as Hungarian Jews and some Sephardic groups are very particular about maintaining their tradition of wearing a full headcovering after marriage and not wearing any kind of wig. In some of these communities there are even special enactments made in order to uphold these traditions.
In one Jerusalem synagogue the directors published an announcement on the eve of Rosh Hashanah 5777 stating that "In accordance with the rules of this synagogue from days bygone, we will not have in mind during the blowing of the shofar any women who are wearing wigs and do no cover their hair with a full headcovering."
This is an unusual ruling since even in communities which maintain such strict rules regarding wigs it is usually only requested that people follow local custom but they do not normally exclude women from performing halachic duties.
It should be noted that women do not have a halachic obligation to hear the shofar as it is a time-based precept, but most women are still accustomed to hearing the shofar blown.
6. DAUGHTER OF DOWNED IAF PILOT IS LEFT WITHOUT HER FATHER
by Emily Rose
In front of the Cohen-Nov house in Moshav Mazor there is a large boulder engraved with the names of those who fell in Israel's wars and stemmed from the town. Yesterday, another name was added to the list; the name of the pilot Major Ohad Cohen-Nov.
Major Cohen Nov, who began serving in a new position only one week ago, as deputy flight commander of "Atalef", an F16 airbase, went on a mission to strike Gaza yesterday in response to the rocket fire on Sderot Wednesday morning.
Cohen Nov was killed during a crash landing of his F-16 fighter jet in southern Israel on Wednesday evening. The aircraft's navigator ejected from the plane and escaped without injury.
The jet, which was landing at Ramon air force base in the Negev, caught fire when returning from the operation in the Gaza strip.
Cohen Nov, who was 34 when he died, is survived by his pregnant wife, Shachar, and their young daughter. These past years he lived on Ramon Airbase and he will be remembered as an excellent and skilled pilot by his colleagues.
"He had a heart of gold," a friend of Cohen Nov's told Yediot Aharonot, "he was happy with a genuine good heart, he always smiled and was nice and generous. He loved challenges and was a great pilot. He had everything."
"He was an incredible person, I'm filled with sorrow now," another pilot and close friend of Ohad's mourned.
Ohad's father, Dorion Cohen-Nov, was also a skilled pilot and is considered a legend in the pilot community after his long career with El Al. In 2003 he was serving on the El Al board of directors but left after refusing to sign a privatization agreement claiming that details about the agreement were kept hidden from the board.
Later, he served as director of the Pilot's Union and fought for workers' rights for pilots as well as working to improve security at Ben Gurion International Airport.
7. HOTOVELY: GOVERNMENT NOT CONTINUING PERES' LEGACY
by Yoel Domb
Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely brushed off US criticism of the draft agreement developing on the Amona issue, according to which 300 new units will be built in the Shilo area.
"The government of Israel is certainly doing a legitimate act in broadening the Shilo community and at the same time providing a super-legitimate solution to the complicated legal matter of Amona," said Hotovely in an interview with Army Radio.
She added that "The Americans would have been just as troubled if the government of Israel had left the inhabitants of Amona in their place. Its important to understand that the present government is not continuing the legacy of Shimon Peres, but rather implementing right-wing doctrine."
Last week it was reported that the government had approved the construction of 98 new units near Shiloh in the Benjamin region which would serve as an alternative for the inhabitants of Amona who will be forced to leave their homes in the wake of the High Court decision.
The new plan was approved last Wednesday by the Higher Planning Committee. The plan includes an option for a further 200 units to be built there as well as the construction of an industrial zone.
The extreme left was angered by the decision and said that this is the first community to be built in Judea and Samaria since the Rabin period. "It is ironic that the plan was approved on the day Peres died," said Peace Now in response. "Netanyahu, who presented himself at Peres' funeral as one who desires peace, is now revealing himself to be constructing the first new community since the Rabin period and continues to place obstacles for peace."
