Israel passed information on an alleged Iranian plot to attack U.S. interests in the Gulf to the U.S. before national security adviser John Bolton threatened Iran with “unrelenting force” last night, senior Israeli officials reported.
Information about possible Iranian plots against the U.S. or its allies in the Gulf were raised two weeks ago in talks held at the White House between an Israeli delegation headed by national security adviser Meir Ben Shabbat and a U.S. team led by Bolton, the Israeli officials told me.

Boeing said Sunday it knew of a safety alert flaw in the cockpit of its 737 MAX jetliners months before the first of 2 fatal crashes involving the now-grounded aircraft, but it didn’t immediately notify regulators.
The issue concerns a warning light in the cockpit, known as the AOA Disagree alert. This alert is meant to notify the flight crew that two angle-of-attack (AOA) sensors are providing data that disagree with each other, which suggests one is erroneous.
The company said in a statement the aircraft’s “display system software did not correctly meet” the AOA alert requirements in 2017 — well before October’s Lion Air crash in Indonesia, which killed 189 people.

As of Sunday evening, four Israeli civilians have been killed after terror groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad launched more than 600 rockets and mortars from Gaza into Israel. By doing so, Hamas and Islamic Jihad commit a double war crime by firing at civilians while hiding behind civilians. A delegation of U.S. ambassadors currently visiting Israel published a joint statement in which they said, “Enough is enough!” The statement also read, “Can one imagine rockets falling on Washington, Berlin, Paris, Brussels, Bern or Lisbon today without an appropriately strong reaction?”
Efraim Inbar, president of the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security, mirrored their statement, telling JNS, “Enough is enough.”

New York City councilman Kalman Yeger plans to introduce a bill this week that would require the city to pay for an armed security guard at any house of worship that requests the protection. The bill was prompted by recent terrorist attacks and mass shootings inside churches, synagogues, and mosques around the world.

In a long report released today by the Israeli Comptroller, the Comptroller demands the Ministry of Health take enforcement action to stop the publication of United Hatzalah’s hotline as an emergency number.
The Comptroller points out that all emergency calls should be called in directly to MDA’s 101 hotline, which dispatches both MDA and United Hatzalah volunteers.
The Comptroller points out that advertising the United Hatzalah hotline as an emergency number “May confuse the public that the response provided is equal to the response provided when calling 101 and may delay the care of the patient”.

Although children are not scheduled to get their first measles vaccine until they are a year old, doctors have begun recommending parents give it to their children sooner due to the recent spread of the disease, with some doctors giving the OK for children as young as six months old.
“There’s no dangers in getting the shot early,” Dr. Kevin Ellis, a pediatrician at Huntsville Pediatric Associates, said.
However, the child would still be susceptible to all the vaccine’s side-effects. Dr. Ellis says the first measles vaccine is normally given to children at 12 months because they are old enough to build up strong immunity.
