Headline: FAA places 24-hour ban on U.S. flights to Israel
The Federal Aviation Administration has told all U.S. airlines that flights to Israel’s Tel Aviv airport are prohibited for 24 hours after a rocket from Gaza landed in the area. Delta Air Lines and United Airlines said earlier Tuesday they are suspending service between the U.S. and Israel indefinitely. US Airways scrapped its Tel Aviv service Tuesday and said it is monitoring the situation in regards to future flights. The FAA said in a statement that the ban on flights is for 24 hours beginning at 12:15 p.m. ET on Tuesday, and that a rocket landed about one mile from Ben Gurion International Airport Tuesday morning. The airport is located 50 miles north of Gaza, within range of rockets being fired by the militant group Hamas.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu strongly defended Israel’s counter-terror operation in Gaza during a visit Tuesday to Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon. During his visit, Netanyahu spoke to dozens of foreign ambassadors, and told them that he expects them to not only support Israel in its fight against terrorism, but also to stand up to Hamas. “Any democracy would have done what Israel is doing to defend itself,” he declared. The Prime Minister visited soldiers wounded in Operation Protective Edge. “The entire nation of Israel embraces you and wishes you a speedy recovery,” he told them. “You were wounded as part of the most important mission there is – defending our home,” he said.

As Operation Protective Edge enters its fifteenth day, a military official told Arutz Sheva Tuesday that one hundred and eighty (180) terrorists have been eliminated so far, including twenty (20) who were killed overnight Monday alone. Overnight, roughly 100 targets were attacked in the Sheijaya neighborhood, where 13 soldiers were killed Sunday. Twenty eight terrorists have been arrested since the launch of the ground offensive on Thursday and have since been interrogated by the Israel Security Agency (ISA or Shin Bet). In total, he added, 3,200 terror targets have been eliminated in Gaza over a two-week period – including a total of 59 terror tunnels and entry shafts. Hamas fired a heavy volley of rockets at Israel overnight, mostly in the south. Of a volley fired at the Be’er Sheva region, three rockets fell in open areas; one was intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system. Overnight, in Gaza, two soldiers were killed in ground clashes. Three soldiers were seriously wounded and four suffered light injuries .

Although rocket fire from Lebanon and Syria remains sporadic for now, Israel and other parties need to be aware of the potential for serious miscalculation and escalation. As Israel’s Operation Protective Edge continues in Gaza, the conflict is affecting almost all major cities in Israel, including communities near the northern borders. Since Protective Edge began on July 8, at least four rockets have been launched from Lebanon into Israel, while other attempts were stopped before launch by the Lebanese army. In the past two weeks, Israel has come under fire from Syrian territory twice: a mortar attack on July 13, and a rocket strike a day later. And prior to the latest Gaza clash, there were several border incidents targeting Israeli forces, including a June 22 attack in which an antitank missile launched from a Syrian regime military post killed an Israeli boy.

The French authorities have reportedly authorised a demonstration in support for Gaza on Wednesday (23 July) after two government-banned protests over the weekend turned violent. Wednesday’s gathering is to be allowed because the pro-Palestinian organisers are considered “serious and responsible” by the authorities, reports French daily Le Parisien. The Paris-based Federation International of Human Rights (FIDH) as well as a handful of left wing groups is behind the demonstration, set to kick off in the early evening from the city’s centre. The move comes on the heels of a controversial French government ban on demonstrations in the capital after several protesters targeted two Paris synagogues the week before.

The spokesman of Egypt’s military says 20 “terrorists” carried out a deadly border post attack that killed 22 soldiers, the deadliest assault on Egypt’s military in years. A statement posted Tuesday on the official Facebook page of military spokesman Brig. Gen. Mohammed Samir said attackers driving four pickup trucks loaded with explosives first exchanged gunfire with soldiers at a border post in el-Wadi el-Gadid, Egypt’s largest province bordering Libya and Sudan. The statement said the gunfire prevented the attackers from storming the post. However, it said attackers fired rocket-propelled grenades at a gas cylinder, blowing it up and causing a fire in an ammunition warehouse that exploded and killed the soldiers Saturday. The statement did not say who the military suspects of carrying out the attack.

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is now in control of 35 percent of the Syrian territory following a string of victories, the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Friday. ISIS holdings include nearly all of Syria’s oil and gas fields, the monitoring group said in a statement. One of the latest gains of the self-proclaimed “caliphate” was the seizure of the country’s biggest oil fields, in Deir el-Zour in eastern Syria, earlier in the week. Deir Ezzor borders Homs province as well as Iraq, where the jihadist group has spearheaded a major Sunni militant offensive that has seen large swathes of territory fall out of the Baghdad government’s control. Meanwhile, jihadists have killed 270 Syrian regime fighters, civilian security guards and employees since seizing a gas field in Homs province, the Observatory added, according to Agence France-Presse.

Headline: Iraqi militants crush resistance and continue towards Baghdad
Using its own version of “soft” and “hard” power, the Islamic State is crushing resistance across northern Iraq so successfully that its promise to march on Baghdad may no longer be unrealistic bravado. While conventional states try to win hearts and minds abroad before necessarily resorting to military force, the jihadist group is also achieving its aims by psychological means – backed up by a reputation for extreme violence. The Islamic State, which in June captured a vast stretch of territory in the north including the largest city Mosul, used this strategy when its fighters met armed resistance from the town of al-Alam for 13 days running. They kidnapped 30 local families and rang up the town’s most influential citizens with a simple message about the hostages: “You know their destiny if you don’t let us take over the town.”

Headline: Iraq PM seeks Sunni tribal help in battling ISIS insurgency
Baghdad is under a real and impending threat from forces of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), and it would be wise to expect an assault on the capital city before the end of Ramadan, said Jessica Lewis, a former American military intelligence officer with several years of service in Iraq. She also predicted the continued aggression of ISIS both within Iraq and externally, arguing that ISIS poses a real threat to Jordan, Lebanon and other states in the region and is not limited to Iraq and Syria. ISIS has been on the offensive since its takeover of Mosul on June 10th, claiming a number of other cities such as Tikrit since then. The US has countered these offensive gestures by sending 700 military advisers, several Apache attack helicopters, and drones to Iraq. The Iraqi army has recently embarked on a counter-offensive in Tikrit and Samarra. With regard to Baghdad, Lewis said, “I think ISIS is going to go for bases. There are 3 bases that I think are vulnerable…On the northern side of Baghdad we have Balad and Taji, on the immediate southwest of Baghdad we have the international airport.” The US has thus far used the Baghdad Airport as a main lifeline to supply the Iraqi government with military equipment.

A local official earlier pointed the finger at smugglers, after an armed group crossing the border from Syria into Turkey ignored calls to stop and opened fire on an army outpost. Three border guards were wounded, two of whom later died, after they came under attack from around 15 people trying to cross into Turkey, the Turkish General Staff said in a statement. Reinforcements were deployed and at least six “terrorists” from the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) or its affiliate, the Syria-based Democratic Union Party (PYD), were believed to have died in the clash, the army said. There was no immediate word from either the PKK or PYD.

Headline: MERS Virus may have Airborne Potential
Scientists have found that the deadly Middle East Respiratory syndrome (MERS) virus could be passed through gene fragments found in the air. Since the health issue first emerged, close to 850 people had contracted the virus, of which 327 were killed, according to estimates from the European Center for Disease Prevention Control (ECDC). Though the vast majority of cases have been in Saudi Arabia, some isolated versions have also been linked to parts of Europe, Asia and the United States from those who recently traveled in the Middle East. For the study, researchers collected air samples every day for three days, all from the camel barn that belonged to a MERS patient. The 43-year-old man, who was living south of the town of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, had died from the virus. Researchers tested the air samples for signs of the virus, and found genetic fragments of the coronavirus that matched those found in the camel and the deceased owner. “The clear message here is that detection of airborne MERS-CoV molecules, which were 100 percent identical with the viral genomic sequence detected from a camel actively shedding the virus in the same barn on the same day, warrants further investigations and measures to prevent possible airborne transmission of this deadly virus,” said lead study author Esam Azhar, an associate professor of medical virology at King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah, via Reuters.

Boko Haram attacked a town in northeast Nigeria, seizing control of the town, and forcing its 10,000 residents to flee. Boko Haram launched the assault the evening of July 17 against the town of Damboa using rocket-propelled grenades, explosives, and guns in the attack. 66 residents were killed. A community spokesman, Sheriff Muhammad said, “We lost 46 people on Thursday through Friday in Damboa and the gunmen pursued people who fled to nearby Fori and Kwairi villages where they killed 20 more.” At the end of the raid, Boko Haram raised its signature black flag over the town. “This is the first major town that has fallen to them, and it is located on a strategic road, Borno State Gov. Kashim Shettima told the New York Times. Nigeria’s defense ministry noted that Boko Haram had attacked Damboa’s military base and police station on July 4. In that attack, 50 militants were killed, raising the possibility that the attack on the town was carried out in retaliation.
