On same day Israel 'ethnically cleanses' Negev desert of Bedoin villagers whose ancestors were once the sole residents,it also boosted of launching long range missile ' hit targets outside the atmosphere'.
When the Israeli Zionists,(whose ancestors colluded with and collaborated with Hitler and the NaZis or National Zionists - (NOT 'Socialists'!)- in order to create Israel), came for the Bedoin I don't complain because I wasn't a Bedoin........When the Israeli Zionists,(whose ancestors colluded with and collaborated with Hitler and the NaZis),came for the Middle Eastern Christians and Christian Palestinians I didn't complain because I wasn't a Middle Eastern Christian...........
The video, shot from a police helicopter hovering above the scene, appears to show police officers walking toward al-Kian's vehicle and shooting at him as he was driving at a slow pace. Only several seconds after the gunfire his car appears to speed up and then plows through police officers. It is unclear if the driver sped up intentionally.

A video released on Wednesday may shed new light on the events that ended in the death of an Israeli police officer and an Israeli Bedouin who police claim ran over the officer during clashes in the southern Bedouin village of Umm al-Hiran.

The clashes erupted after police officers arrived to demolish illegally built structures in the Bedouin village early Wednesday morning, to make way for a Jewish town slated to be built nearby. Police said that the officer, Sgt. Maj. Erez Levi, 34, was killed when the Bedouin, Yakub Abu al-Kiyan, deliberately ran him over with his car. Locals contested the account, saying al-Kiyan lost control of his car after he was first shot by police. Another police officer was wounded in the incident.

Following the release of the video, Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan tweeted that the police gunfire that can be seen at the beginning of the video were warning shots which were not directed at the driver. Erdan said the warning shots were fired after al-Kiyan refused to heed calls to halt, and instead he attempted to run over the police force.

A short while after the video was leaked to the media, the police released an edited version with captions explaining how the incident unfolded. The captions did not mention the gunfire and the beginning of the incident is seen as the moment the car started accelerating.
A statement by the police accompanying the video, referred to al-Kiyan as a "terrorist" and said that the video showed his car on the side of the road and only after he noticed the police officers it accelerated and hit them.

Deadly Clash With Police Could Set Off Explosion in Israel's Arab Community
The deadly incident in the Negev, in which a Bedouin civilian and a policeman were killed, is a flash point in the relationship between the State of Israel and the Bedouin living in Israel’s south.
A police operation to raze illegally built homes in the village of Umm al-Hiran went wrong and descended into violence. During the conflict, the police say, one of the residents ran over a policeman, and was shot and killed by other police. The chairman of the Joint List, Knesset member Ayman Odeh, was shot with a rubber bullet, which just fanned the fires.

skip - New video raises questions about alleged car-ramming attack by Bedouin
The Bedouin claim that the driver was shot for no reason, but that argument sounds specious, because the fact is that a policeman was run over and killed. However, the police’s version is still to be substantiated. Mere months ago, what had been described as a vehicle-ramming terror attack in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Shoafat, turned out to be a misunderstanding in which the driver was shot and killed by police.
One can't help but recall that when a wave of fires erupted last month Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan, senior police officers and firefighters announced that many of the dozens of blazes had been set deliberately for nationalistic reasons. They may have been right, but as of now, not a single indictment has been filed and the last Arab Israeli arrested for alleged arson was freed this week.
Yet surprisingly, the police hastened to connect the Bedouin driver involved in this morning's incident with ISIS. They claim the driver was an ISIS activist, but the announcement that they’re checking his ties with the Islamic organization looks a little premature.
After a truck driver plowed into a crowd in Jerusalem last week, killing four Israeli soldiers, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman claimed that the terrorist was an ISIS activist. Yet not a shred of evidence supporting that contention has come forth.

The Shin Bet security service is indeed worried about rising identification with ISIS among the Bedouin in the south. A year ago, a group of Bedouin teachers was arrested and accused of fostering ties with ISIS. But again, the logical leap from membership in some Islamic organization to activity for ISIS requires proof, that has yet to be presented.
The demolition of homes in Umm al-Hiran came just one week after a widely publicized mission to raze illegally built homes in the Arab town of Kalansua in central Israel. In late December, the whole nation was virtually paralyzed by the crisis over evicting the settlers from Amona. Meanwhile not a single home in Amona has been demolished, even though efforts to legislate a way out of the problem have proved unsuccessful. But Netanyahu and Erdan lost no time leveraging their enforcement of the law against Arabs.

Israel ramped up its missile defense capabilities Wednesday with the delivery of a state-of-the-art system -- developed in part by Boeing -- designed to strike targets outside Earth's atmosphere.
The Arrow-3 missile defense system will form the uppermost layer of Israel’s multilayered defense system, Israel Defense Forces officials have said.
It was expected to protect from ballistic missiles capable of flying thousands of miles. Iran has tested such missiles several times in the past, defying international sanctions.
Arrow-3 was delivered to the Israeli Air Force Wednesday morning, joining the Iron Dome, the Arrow-2 and David’s Sling.

Israel Achieves ICBM Nuclear Capability

The Risk Report
Volume 1 Number 5 (June 1995) Page 1, 4, 5
On April 5, Israel launched its first spy satellite, the Ofek-3, giving Israel the ability to photograph and gather intelligence data on its neighbors. Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin applauded the event as "another great technological achievement for the State of Israel." Israel is now one of only eight nations able to build and launch satellites.
Critics, however, are concerned about Israel's military intentions. Configured as a missile, the powerful "Shavit" rocket that launches Israel's satellites could hit every Arab capital as well as cities in Europe, Russia and China. "The Ofek project is not just about cameras in space; it's about building missiles that project Israel's military power outside the Middle East," says Dr. Meir Steiglitz, an Israeli strategic analyst.
U.S. officials concur: "There is no real difference between large ballistic missiles and satellite launchers," says one government analyst, who estimates that as a missile the Shavit could fly up to 4,500 kilometers carrying a one-ton payload. Israel's missile warhead is believed to weigh closer to 350 kilograms, about one-third as much, which would enable the missile to reach targets even farther away.
Asked about the current missile ranges or military potential of the Shavit rocket, Israeli officials are silent. "The Shavit only flies vertically; it's not a missile," says one Israeli defense analyst. But current and former U.S. officials tell the Risk Report that the first two stages of the Shavit consist of Israel's two-stage Jericho-II nuclear missile. "The Jericho-II is a Shavit minus the upper stage, which is replaced by a warhead," one official says. Other officials confirm this, and add that the Jericho missile and the Shavit launcher use the same family of rocket motors.
The interdependency of the Shavit launcher and the Jericho missile reflects the blurry line between civilian and military development in Israel. The same high-tech companies that conduct civilian space research also work on sensitive military projects, including nuclear and missile development. Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI), the main contractor for the Shavit space rocket, also builds offensive and defensive missiles. One clue the Shavit is derived from military rather than civilian technologies is the Shavit's launching pad. The rocket is launched from a transporter-erector-launcher, or TEL, a platform more often used for mobile missiles than for satellite launches.
Israel's quest for nuclear-capable missiles started in the early 1960s when it ordered a surface-to-surface missile from Marcel Dassault, the French arms-maker. The missile was reported to fly 500 kilometers carrying a payload big enough for a nuclear warhead. France is thought to have shipped about 14 of these missiles, which the West called the "Jericho," before France imposed an arms embargo in the late 1960s. After the embargo, Israel began producing the missile on its own.
The story of Israel's missile development is a tale of "a tentative, opportunistic program driven by fragile alliances and coincidences," says a U.S. analyst familiar with the Israeli program. Progress was achieved by linking military and civilian objectives in an alliance of interests behind "spy satellites, civilian space, generic technological development, prestige, and finally ... improved missile ranges." Although the missile program received enough money to stay afloat, the analyst says, it "received nothing like the steady, well-funded, support that the nuclear weapon program did."
Yet, Israel's missile and nuclear efforts have always been linked. During the Arab-Israeli war in October 1973, Israel reportedly readied Jericho missiles with nuclear warheads. And in 1974, the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) cited the Jericho as evidence that Israel had made nuclear weapons the CIA said the Jericho made little sense as a conventional missile and was "designed to accommodate nuclear warheads."
In the 1970s, Israel began work on a longer-range missile, the Jericho-II. By 1985, it was reported to be deployed on railway cars in bedrock caves in the Negev, and on trucks concealed in the Golan Heights. The yield of the missile's warhead can be assumed to be in the hundreds of kilotons, a blast big enough to erase any Arab capital. The Jericho-II's inertial guidance system was apparently developed with the help of components smuggled out of the United States, as were elements of the solid fuel propellant and the shell of the missile itself.
In May 1987, Israel tested an improved version of the Jericho-II that flew more than 800 kilometers. The missile's second test was in September 1988 and its third in September 1989, when it flew nearly 1,300 kilometers, far enough to reach the southern border of Russia and targets in Iran. The same year, the Soviets told Israel that its Jericho missile was "a threat to...the oil fields in Baku," and said the missile could bring Israel "consequences that it could not possibly handle." Israel replied that it "had no intention of taking any action toward the Soviet Union."
In October 1989, NBC News reported that South Africa had tested a Jericho-II the previous July. U.S. officials quickly confirmed that Israel was working with South Africa on development and testing of a missile that resembled Israel's Jericho-II. They cited as evidence the similarity of the rocket plume of the missile tested in South Africa to that of the Jericho, as well as the similarity of the South African testing equipment and launch site to those the Israelis had used. NBC reported that a CIA document said the South African missile flew 1,450 kilometers southeast toward the Prince Edward Islands.
"It's safe to assume the missile hasn't been tested to full range," says a former Pentagon official familiar with Israel's program. One constraint has been Israel's desire to avoid flying over enemy territory. But if the Jericho-II engines are powerful enough to launch satellites aboard the Shavit launcher, as U.S. analysts say, then the Jericho itself should be able to fly much farther than the 1,500-kilometer tests indicate. Judging from the power of the Shavit, a Jericho-II consisting of the Shavit's first two stages should be able to fly 4,500 kilometers with a one-ton payload.
The question is whether Israel needs or will deploy such a long-range nuclear-strike force. "We are not aware they have any intentions of deploying such capability, or what the application would be even if they did," says a U.S. official. "They already have the missile capability to strike any target of interest to them in the region."
Israel's Jericho missiles can already reach Cairo, Damascus, Baghdad, Riyadh and Teheran. To reach Tripoli, Israel has U.S.-supplied F-15 fighter aircraft which can make the roundtrip over the Mediterranean. If it wanted to, Israel could develop an intercontinental ballistic missile within ten years. Israel is now working on an improvement of the Shavit called the "NEXT" launcher. With each improved launcher, Israel will increase the potential range of its missiles.
