A large sinkhole was exposed over the weekend in the southbound Ayalon lanes, Tel Aviv’s main inner city highway. The sinkhole was possibly created due to construction work for a new building that will be part of the Azrieli Towers.  Ayalon Routes announced later that they have closed the large sinkhole that opened near the Azrieli Towers, and estimated that the exit to the Shalom Interchange, is expected to open within 48 hours.

Ahmed Ayman Ibrahim Abed, a member of the Palestinian security apparatus and one of the terrorists who was killed in the encounter in Jenin in which IDF officer, Bar Falah, was killed, left a will in which he called on his friends to follow in his footsteps and become a Shahid ( a holy martyr in Islam).

One of the two terrorists who were 'neutralized' in the aftermath of the encounter in Jenin during which Major Bar Falah was killed, was Ahmed Abed - a member of the Palestinian Security forces that is funded in part by money from American and European taxpayers. The terrorist left a will, which was revealed Friday. In it he calls for continued bloodshed against Jews and tells his family to rejoice over his death. He also made a twisted request that his friends and those who admire him for his martyrdom "stick to arms and jihad against the enemy" - one that is certain to encourage others in to do just that. As a result, Israeli security forces are on high alert.
