WATCH LIVE: State Department holds news briefing as demonstrators hold ‘Day of Disruption’ in Israel

Netanyahu and his government, made up of ultranationalists, have branded the protesters anarchists, while stopping short of condemning a West Bank settler mob that torched a Palestinian town earlier this week.

The legal overhaul has sparked an unprecedented uproar, with weeks of mass protests, criticism from legal experts and rare demonstrations by army reservists who have pledged to disobey orders under what they say will be a dictatorship after the overhaul passes.

Palestinian ‚Village of Hawara Needs to Be Wiped Out‘: Israel’s Far-right Finance Minister Justifies ‚Disproportionate‘ Response to Terrorism

Israel’s Finance Minister called for the destruction of a West Bank Palestinian village on Wednesday, days after it was attacked by a mob of settlers who torched dozens of homes and reportedly killed one resident.

“The village of Hawara needs to be wiped out. I think that the State of Israel needs to do that [and] not, God forbid, private individuals,” said Bezalel Smotrich, when asked why he had “liked” a tweet by deputy Samaria Regional Council head Davidi Ben Zion calling for Hawara to be “wiped out today.”

Bundeswehr legt bei Satellitenaufklärung nach

(27.06.2019)

SARah ist ein Radarsatellitensystem und verfügt über zwei Reflektor-Satelliten, einem Phased Array-Satelliten, einer Bodenstation in Deutschland sowie Antennen in Deutschland und Schweden. Mit dem System können weltweit tageslicht- und wetterunabhängige Bilddaten erstellt werden – unter anderem für die Krisenfrüherkennung, Krisenbewältigung und humanitäre Hilfe. Aber auch bei der Beurteilung von Proliferationsaktivitäten, der Verifikation von Rüstungskontroll- und Abrüstungsvereinbarung sowie nicht zuletzt für den Einsatz von Streitkräften und den Kampf gegen den Terrorismus werden die durch SARah lieferbaren Informationen benötigt.

Das Aufklärungssystem SARah wird 2022 das ebenfalls radarbasierte und bislang genutzte Satellitensystem SAR-Lupe ablösen.

According to Rzeczpospolita sources, however, Ukrainian investigators didn’t perform any procedural activities on the site because it’s against the law — they were just able to see the place.

We will have to wait for what the Ukrainian investigators find & are *allowed* to report. They need to demonstrate the kind of navigation kit on that missile.

US and Poland have been in contact with Ukraine over missile incident

On Wednesday, Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin said: “We have full confidence in the Polish government’s investigation of this explosion, and they’ve been conducting that investigation in a professional and deliberate manner, and so we won’t get ahead of their work. And we’re going to stay in close touch with our Polish counterparts, as well as with our NATO allies and other valued partners”. He added that regardless of the final results of the investigation, the ultimate blame for the incident lies with Russia.

The bottom line is this: the navigation electronics will determine who the missile came from. It is that simple.

S300 warheads are different for AD & ground. AD uses fragmentation & proximity fuse: it means the tires you see in the photo would have been shredded & there would be no crater. It’s a huge hole, so if not a cruise, a ground-attack S300. Only Russia uses those.

Only missile converted from S-300 to ballistic one could cause destruction like in Poland – Oleksiy Hetman

(17 November, 2022)

„If we assume that the rocket completely deteriorated and lost electronic control, then if it fell to the ground, it would also not have been able to explode. The missile does not explode from detonation, it explodes from the command of electronic equipment located inside. The Russians turned such S-300 missiles into ballistic missiles with a regular charge instead of metal balls and cubes. Such a missile can fall to the ground and explode. This missile has been processed from an anti-aircraft missile to a ballistic one. In Ukraine, such processed missiles were not made,“ Hetman stressed.
