DEBKAfile Special Report July 2, 2014, 10:57 PM (IDT)
Wednesday night, July 2, Israel’s security cabinet held its third special session in two days to map out a response to the kidnapping and murder of Eyal Yifrach, Gil-Ad Shaer and Naftali Frenkel, who were laid to rest in mass funerals Tuesday. Despite the impression of indecision, the select group of senior ministers conveyed, DEBKAfile’s sources report that they did in fact decide to hold back from a major military operation in the Gaza Strip. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Defense Minsiter Moshe Ya’alon abd Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz decided that instead of smashing Hamas infrastructure at its home base in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army would continue to pound its networks on the West Bank.
This decision was the outcome of heavy arm-twisting on the part of Egypt, Qatar and Jordan. They urged Israel to continue to smash Hamas in Mahmoud Abbas’ West Bank domain, but to leave the Islamist organization be in the Gaza Strip.
By heeding Arab advice on how to respond to the tragedy of three murdered young Israelis, the government found within hours that it had opened the door to unbridled violence both in Jerusalem and against the communities who have the misfortune to live within range of Gazan rockets.
The match which kindled the flames was the kidnap and murder of a 16-year old Palestinian boy Muhammad Abu Khdeir from the Palestinian district of Shuafat in Jerusalem. Since his body was found early Wednesday in the Jerusalem Forest, Jerusalem’s Palestinians have been in violent uproar demanding vengeance against Israel.
The prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu urged the police to hurry up the investigation of this “abominable crime.” But it soon turned out that the motive and the police investigation no longer mattered. The Palestinians had decided “Jewish settlers” had slain the Arab boy, and foreign observers treated the murder without further ado as tit-for-tat by Jewish extremists for the slain Israeli teenagers.
Tons of rocks and explosive devices were hurled during the day at Israeli police and security forces attempting to restore order in Jerusalem’s Palestinian districts.
In the Gaza Strip, Hamas and the Jihad Islami leaders, knowing they were safe from Israeli retribution, let loose with volley after volley of rockets and mortars – 30 in a single day – against Ashkelon, Netivot, Sdot Negev, Sderot, Kerem Shalom and the Eshkol District. Three were downed by Iron Dome interceptor. But no defense system is proof against a missile blitz on this scale.
The three cabinet sessions not only failed to come up with ways to deter Hamas terror or cut its armed capabilities down to size, but reached a decision that opened the gates of violence in two arenas – Jerusalem and Gaza.
Read DEBKAfile’s earlier report of Wednesday.
The discovery of the body of a brutally murdered Palestinian boy in the Jerusalem forest early Wednesday, July 2, unleashed violent disturbances in the Palestinian districts of Jerusalem, which climaxed in mid-morning with three pipe bombs hurled at security forces in the northern district of Beit Hanina at security forces attempting to maintain order. One exploded, injuring a Palestinian. Enraged Palestinians then set fire to three light train stations that serve the northern districts.
Jerusalem has not seen this level of tension and Palestinian violence, including the use of explosive devices, since the suicide bombing uprising of 2000-2004.
According to the Palestinians, the boy, since identified as Muhammad Hussein Abu Khdeir aged 16 from Shuafat, was kidnapped and murdered by “settlers.” They report a car with three men wrestled the boy into the vehicle and drove off. The Palestinian boy’s body showed stab wounds. It was found charred.
The Israeli police, after imposing a gag order on the investigation and the outbreaks in the Palestinian neighborhoods of north Jerusalem, said only that they are initially exploring several motives for the crime, including the boy’s family’s long history of disputes. Internal Security Minister Aharonovich reported that police reinforcements have been imported to the capital and the police were on high alert in other parts of Israel.
DEBKAfile’s military sources report that large IDF, Jerusalem Police, Border Police and Shin Bet agency contingents are concentrated around the three restive Palestinian neighborhoods of Beit Hanina, Sheafat and the neighboring refugee camp. They appear to be waiting outside the centers of the riots, before interfering, in the slim hope that the violent unrest will subside of its own accord.
These forces have blocked the main roads of North Jerusalem from the French Hill junction to Shuafat and Bet Haninah, virtually cutting off the Palestinian neighborhoods from their eastern exits.
The troubles first erupted Tuesday night, July 1, in downtown Jerusalem, immediately after the three Israeli teens, who were abducted and murdered by Palestinians, were laid to rest in a mass funeral in Modiin. Hundreds of rowdy Jewish youths set upon Palestinians employed at places of work there. The police stepped in to arrest 50 Israeli rioters and rescue their victims.
In its first comment, the Palestinian Authority’s spokesman Abu Rodeina held Israel fully responsible for the death of the Palestinian boy and the outbreaks of violence in Jerusalem.

Footage ‘Shows Moment Arab Teen Abducted’; but Questions Remain
Family says CCTV footage shows the moment Mohammed Abu-Khder was kidnapped – but raises questions of its own.
One former police official who spoke to Arutz Sheva on condition of anonymity Wednesday claimed the Abu-Khder family is well known to police sources in Jerusalem, adding “it’s a problematic family with internal clashes that have been ongoing for many years.”

you don’t need any mouth to mouth resuscitation do you ?
honeybee Said:
I am fine, I think?
I have become suspicious that both the israeli kidnappings and murders may have been orchestrated by Iran or Iran proxies. Iran would be the one with everything to gain whereas everyone else would be losers. it would not be difficult with either fatah or hamas links in YS or just the qwasmeh clan who are opportunist terrorists and criminals.
Perhaps this is the real reason that Israel is on hold and why the GCC is asking him to hold off. They all know that if there was a war that all muslim focus would move towards that jihad. Hexbullah would join in and suddenly the big target would be the one that was to be expected: Israel. Sunnis could not be recruited to war against the shias when the greater infidel was slaughtering muslims. I always believed that the peace talks were created to take the pal israel issue off the worlds stage so that the GCC could recruit sunnis for a war against the shias with their fatwas and money and could focus jihadis away from israel for that purpose. However, current events would end that focus and the sunni shia war would fizzle, recruits would be more interested in fighting israel and hezbullah attacking Israel would put the shias and sunnis on the same side.
The western GCC war against Irans proxies would falter severely, the pals and the Israelis would suffer, but the Iranians would make a grand coup.
Such a scenario would greatly influence Israel and BB decision making as it might destroy all the prior understandings and goals that Israel has with the GCC, which I believe existed at Pillar of defense. Plus it would bring a deluge on Israel from all. All the muslims would have to participate agianst Israel.

True that, I saw his photo and there seemed something odd about him that I can’t put my finger on.
@ yamit82:
Are you OK.
Bert Said:
FIFY
This killing of one Arab boy was ‘too’ convenient. The timing, the manner of his death and the massive rioting that suggests prior preparation by the Arabs. The hesitation of Israel to respond to the murder of the three Jewish boys gave the Arabs ample time to manufacture their response. The brutality of the Arab death was designed to generate maximum rage among Arabs and against Israel. The Israeli government has again showed it is composed of atheists and cowards. My heart bleeds for the many Israeli Jews who will suffer terribly because of the treachery of their own government.

‘Nuff said.
Great government, is it not?
Netanyahu, a monumental, deceitful coward follow orders from everyone except the Jewish people.
Sderot is OK to destroy, after all, there are mostly Jews there.
Ma haalternativbvbahh le Netanyahu? Ask the repugnant, sold out Osloids. Well, tens of thousands of true Jewish folk willing to do a good job for the Jewish people.
@ NormanF:
Moments ago it was published that HAMAS is firing now guided missiles in the South, three of them hitting Sderot residential areas.
The miserable garbage in uniform “retaliated” by again bombing empty buildings. That following Netanyahu’s orders.
Tired of seeing our people so devoid of any semblance of self respect.
The cancer that runs the Jewish State, refuses to smash the terrorist organizations and scatter them to the four winds of the earth. They would rather be content to see Jews murdered in cold blood than to annihilate their murderers. The blood of every Jew in Israel is upon their heads. Their greatest crime lies in their inaction, whether out of fear, cowardice or apathy. The Jewish people deserve far better from their own government.
Total inability to internalize the reality we have been clearly exposing about the miserable garbage represented by Peres, Netanyahu,Livni, Lapid, Weinstein, Alon and a mountain of political generals and police trash.
Those are mortal internal enemies.
All evidence is widely known.
Action is required by the people.
