Three new COVID-19 fatalities in Israel over the weekend, bringing the national death toll to 297, is causing concern among health officials about the public’s seeming laxity regarding coronavirus regulations.
However, in an interview with Kan Radio on Sunday morning, Deputy Health Minister Yoav Kisch, said the spike in infections cannot be designated yet as a “second wave.”
 
His comments came in the wake of earlier contradictory statements by Public Health Services head Dr. Sigal Sadetsky, who told the same radio station that the “seeds we are planting are very dangerous.”
Sadetsky was referring to the quick rise in infections that officials have attributed to the reopening of the economy that began in May, following nearly two months of lockdowns.

It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the passing of Rav Avrohom Meshulem Feivish Hakohein Schwartz zt”l, rov of Khal Kol Aryeh of Brooklyn.
A son of Rav Pinchos Zelig Hakohein Schwartz, Rav Feivish was a descendant of Rav Avrohom Yehudah Hakohein Kohen Schwartz, known by his responsa as the Kol Aryeh, one of the leading Hungarian rabbonim of the nineteenth century who served as rov of Beregszasz, Hungary and in his native town of Mad.

Arafat Irfaiya, who is on trial for the nationalistically-motivated attack and murder of 19-year-old Ori Ansbacher of Tekoa a year and a half ago, confessed to the deeds in court on Sunday.
In a court appearance last December, Irfaiya refrained from admitting to the brutal attack, even though his lawyer acknowledged that his client had perpetrated them. When the judge asked Irfaiya if he wanted to make a confession, the defendant declined to respond.

Arab Joint List Knesset member Sami Abou Shahadeh announced on Thursday that he had tested positive for the coronavirus, causing Knesset activities to be effectively shut down.
He was photographed without a mask at the funeral tent of Iyad Halak, an Arab man with special needs shot on Saturday by Jerusalem police who believed him to be armed. Additionally, his personal driver had previously been diagnosed with the illness.
Authorities are working to determine with whom Abou Shahadeh came in contact while at the Knesset, though the official told reporters that he had been all over the Knesset, in the plenary, at the cafeteria and at numerous public events.
A Balad Party member, Abou Shahadeh is a resident of Tel Aviv.
