- 0:12Speaker 1: A Norwegian teenager has been sentenced to 20 years in
- 0:15Speaker 1: prison in the UK for a murder plot after being
- 0:18Speaker 1: recruited online by the Foxtrot network. This Swedish criminal group
- 0:21Speaker 1: is alleged by Britain and the US to have carried
- 0:24Speaker 1: out violence as a service for clients, including potentially the
- 0:28Speaker 1: Iranian state. While British police noted there was no evidence
- 0:32Speaker 1: of any direct link to Iran in this specific case,
- 0:35Speaker 1: the allegations highlight how groups like Foxtrot are linked to
- 0:38Speaker 1: attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets on behalf of Iran,
- 0:42Speaker 1: though Iran denies this. In the West Bank, the IDF
- 0:45Speaker 1: reports destroying dozens of monuments and signs honouring terrorists over
- 0:49Speaker 1: the past two weeks as part of counter-terrorism operations aimed
- 0:53Speaker 1: at combating incitement. Troops also seized terror-related funds and weaponry. Separately,
- 0:59Speaker 1: a hardline rabbi, Dov Lior, has ruled that Jews can
- 1:02Speaker 1: harvest Palestinian olives to demonstrate our ownership of the land
- 1:06Speaker 1: and fulfil the commandment to conquer the land. This decision
- 1:09Speaker 1: has been criticised by moderate rabbinic groups, whose state theft
- 1:13Speaker 1: is forbidden. Turning to domestic politics, former Shin Bet chief
- 1:17Speaker 1: Yoram Cohen expressed concern that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu might
- 1:22Speaker 1: deliberately escalate security tensions for political reasons ahead of Israel's
- 1:26Speaker 1: October 27 election. Cohen also criticised what he described as
- 1:30Speaker 1: a complete stagnation on all fronts, particularly in Gaza, and
- 1:34Speaker 1: the absence of a clear plan for the day after
- 1:37Speaker 1: the conflict. On the economic front, Elbit Systems announced plans
- 1:41Speaker 1: to establish its first European production and maintenance centre for
- 1:45Speaker 1: laser warning systems in Sweden, expected to be operational by 2027.
- 1:49Speaker 1: This move aims to bolster European defence manufacturing and support
- 1:54Speaker 1: NATO security needs. And in a more personal update, An
- 1:58Speaker 1: Israeli family is celebrating Sukkot with a vacation in Florida,
