Middle East Report Oct. 19, 2015 WR15-331


Russia is preparing to test its newest precision-guided munition, the KAB-250, in Syria in the near future, reports said Sunday. 
There are two versions of the state-of-the-art bomb, a satellite-guided one and a laser-guided KAB-250L that is pictured above. The 10.5-foot-long, 565-pound weapon can be adjusted with different speeds and trajectories, and can withstand any weather conditions at any time of day, according to the reports. They added that the previous version, the KAB-500 PGM, is already being used to bomb terrorists.  

Unusual leads pointing to the Gaza Strip slowed the process of identifying the gunman who murdered Sgt. Omri Levy, 19, from Sdeh Hamad and injured 10 victims at the Beersheba bus station Sunday night, Oct.18: The terroristis believed to have acted for a new Iranian-Hizballah backed terror movement called Al-Sabirin.

Syrian terrorists have received new shipments of US-made antitank missiles during the past few days but they are not enough to have a significant impact against the ongoing government offensive south of Aleppo, reports said Sunday. The missiles were said to have been provided to groups allied with the Free Syrian Army by countries opposing President Bashar Assad. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of Syrians are estimated to have fled from their homes over the past few days alone since the start of the offensive by Syrian, Iranian and Hizballah troops in northwest Syria. 

Jibril Rajoub, a member of the Fatah leadership, has praised the Palestinian terrorist attacks against Israel, calling them "acts of courage," and said Palestinian schools should show last will and testament videos recorded by terrorists as part of their curriculum.
In an interview with the Palestinian Authority's television station, he said that Palestinians are capable of bombing Israeli buses but have chosen not do do so since it would benefiit Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu, as global public opinion would be against the bombing of buses in Tel Aviv. However, he claimed, the killing of Israeli soldiers and of settlers in the West Bank would be understood.   

Israeli security sources reported Monday that Hamas had instructed its West Bank cells - especially in the Hebron and Nablus districts - to go back to the old infitada tactic of suicide attacks against Israeli targets on the West Bank and in Jerusalem.  Activists were ordered to reach Jerusalem and get started on those attacks.
