Due to concrete threats, IDF trains to deal with abductions
Ephraim Regional Brigade held abduction drill in Samaria this week
15/12/2011, Author: Florit Shoihet
10:44 A.M. Near the Emmanuel Junction in Samaria. An old blue Subaru with its front hood up stands on the side of the road. Next to it are two Palestinian civilians, appearing helpless as they look at the engine.
An IDF vehicle stops and three soldiers get out to help the stranded motorists. "What happened here?" one of the soldiers asks. "The engine is dead," says one of the Palestinians.
As the soldiers approach, one of the Palestinians deftly pulls a pistol from his coat and opens fire, hitting two of the soldiers. Within seconds, the Palestinian terrorists overpower the third soldier and force him into the Subaru. It's 10:46. The terrorists throw several stun grenades and a smoke grenade before driving off toward the north, with a kidnapped IDF soldier in their possession.
While this scenario could be real, this week it was just an exercise. The Ephraim Regional Brigade held a abduction exercise that lasted for more than 48 hours. All parts of the brigade took part in the exercise.
"The brigade is dealing with a wide range of events, and for us the most dangerous event is an abduction," Deputy Brigade Commander Lieutenant Colonel Tzur Harpaz told the IDF Website. "This exercise increases our readiness and in the end we will know how to best manage an incident of this type."
Lieutenant Colonel Eyal Dagan explained: "The goal is to train the rescue forces of the Central Command to deal with abductions, as well as to raise the awareness of soldiers about abductions."
"The exercise was initiated in the wake of concrete threats to abduct soldiers in the area, and thus we need to train for this," Lt. Col. Dagan said.
Recently, a number of procedures in the Central Command have been changed due to the threat of abductions.
There was no dull moment during the exercise this week. The soldiers who simulated the kidnappers prepared ahead of time, wore civilian clothes, equipped themselves with a pair of vehicles and followed strict safety guidelines. Their objective: to mislead the pursuing forces. Their means: distracting the forces with another passing Palestinian vehicle heading southwards toward the Ramallah area, while the vehicle with the kidnapped soldier took a meandering route north through Samaria, the Jordan Valley and Binyamin.
10:47 A.M. The area of the kidnapping is shrouded in smoke. The security officer of a nearby Israeli community arrives at the scene just as the distracting vehicle passes by. "There's been an abduction," the wounded soldiers yell to him. The security officer leans over and questions them while also summoning nearby rescue crews. It's almost 11 A.M. IDF forces begin to flow to the scene en masse. Trackers search for foot prints and tire marks. One of the shot soldiers dies from his wounds while the second continues to be treated by medics. Reservists secure the area.
Ephraim Brigade Commander Colonel Ran Kahane arrives at the scene and makes an initial assessment. He questions the soldier and considers every small detail in the area. Israel Police and other forces arrive, analyze maps and listen to reports, with one goal in mind - finding the abducted soldier.
Some forces remain on the scene but most jump into their jeeps and begin the race against time to find and rescue the abducted soldier.
Last month, the Jordan Valley Brigade conducted an abduction exercise that was observed by Chief of the General Staff Lieutenant General Benny Gantz.
The issue of abductions has received greater attention since the release of Staff Sergeant Gilad Shalit two months ago as well as the abduction threat in various sectors.

Cutting edge weapon system advances infantry capabilities
IDF tests new capabilities of system used on Leopard APCs, enabling improved laser range measurements and in-motion shooting
IDF Ground Forces continue to develop the advanced Samson Remote Controlled Weapon Station (RCWS) enabling use of a variety of weapons via remote control or automatically, including machine guns, grenade launchers, and anti-tank missiles. An experimental drill was held testing the system's new capabilities of improved laser range measurements and in-motion shooting.
During the training exercise that took place at the IDF Training Base for Infantry Corps Professions, combat soldiers from the Golani Brigade and female field instructors mastered use of the new system. "The new RCWS greatly improves our operation, enabling more focused shooting," said Leopard Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) Department Commander, Maj. Nir Toledano.
Maj. Toledano mentioned that "the significant improvement is that the system is more stable, enabling shooting during an ambush. In the past, we were required to suspend motion to fire. Additionally, the enhanced laser range meter enables locating targets more quickly."
He explained that the new system was already implemented into operational activity and will soon be incorporated in more combat units in the IDF. "The new RCWS capabilities provide professional, accurate and fast responses," Maj. Toledano explained.

Israel is reinstating one of its Dolphin-class submarines; Gantz gives Chief of Staff awards to covert Flotilla 13, Maglan units.
Talkbacks (20)
Israel will boost its long-arm strategic capabilities with the reinstatement of one of its Dolphin-class submarines that underwent an unprecedented structural overhaul.
The submarine, one of three currently in the navy, arrived in Israel in 1999 and is the first to undergo the mid-life renovation. The Israeli submarines, which were purchased from Germany, have an expected lifespan of 30 years.
The submarine was taken out of service almost two years ago but the renovation was a carefully guarded secret in the navy so Israel’s enemies would not know that one of its three submarines was out of commission.
Now that it is heading back to sea and ahead of the graduation of the navy’s 100th Submariner Course, The Jerusalem Post was invited Sunday to tour the shipyard in Haifa where the submarine is being reassembled.
“Every vessel that comes in to the shipyard for maintenance and upgrades comes out with improved capabilities,” Col. Eli Shouach, commander of the navy’s shipyard, told the Post. “There are a select number of countries around the world which can independently renovate a submarine. Some have tried and failed.”
Israel’s submarines are the military’s most expensive platform and are often referred to as the country’s second-strike doomsday weapon due to their reported ability to fire cruise missiles tipped with nuclear warheads.
The three Dolphin-class submarines in the navy’s fleet are called Dolphin, Leviathan and Tekuma and are believed to be some of the most advanced diesel-electric submarines in the world. They replaced the 23- year-old Gal class submarines and in the coming years will be joined by two additional submarines currently under construction in Germany.
Maj. Doron Bareket, the officer in charge of the upgrades, said that the renovations include dismantling all of the submarine’s valves, pipes and sonar systems. The engine is also taken apart, cleaned and reassembled.
The submarine’s body is also cleaned and cracks in the hull are welded back together.
The entire upgrade is costing the navy close to NIS 100 million, the most expensive upgrade the shipyard has ever carried out.
With the expected arrival of two additional submarines in the coming years, the shipyard is also undergoing renovations to accommodate the new vessels and building new hangars, some of which will be protected from potential Hezbollah and Syrian missile attacks.
In related news, Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz decided Sunday to award the navy’s Flotilla 13 commando unit, better known as the Shayetet, the annual “Chief of Staff Award” for demonstrating impressive operational capabilities over the past year.
The Shayetet’s operations are almost all classified. One known operation from the past year included the seizure of the ictoria cargo ship that was transporting 50 tons of weaponry, including sophisticated Iranian-made anti-ship missiles, from Iran to Hamas

Israel Air Force Plans Inviting Foreign Air Forces to a Multi-National Air Exercise in 2013
The Israeli and Italian Air Forces on Friday completed a two-week joint training exercise involving fighter jets from both nations. The exercise involved pilots flying F-16A, F-16C and F-15Is from three Israeli squadrons, pitted against Italian Air Force pilots flying Eurofighter Typhoons and Panavia Tornado strike fighters. (Photos: courtesy of Nehemia Gershuni.) This was the second joint exercise the Italian Air Force is conducting with the Israel Air Force in the IAF Airbase in Ovda, near Eilat, flying over the Israeli air/ground and air/air training range in the southern Negev desert. A similar exercise took place two months ago at the Italian Air Force at the Decimomannu Airbase in Sardinia. Italian Air Force Typhoon takes off from IAF Base Ovda.

The IAF has been training extensively in recent years with the air forces of Italy, Greece and Romania, following the Turkish government decision to terminate joint training with Israel. In 2013 the IAF plans to invite a number of foreign air forces to a ‘red flag’ style multi-national joint exercise, to further elevate international cooperation with friendly nations. On the final day of the exercise, defense and air attaches from a number of countries, including the U.S., Germany, Canada, Spain, Chile, Brazil, Greece, Turkey, Hungary and Japan were attending and briefed by top IAF officers about future joint training opportunities. The IAF considers the Israeli ‘desert flag’ will provide a multinational training environment similar to the Turkish hosted ‘Anatolian Eagle’ exercise which Israel was forced to abandon since 2008. The IAF has also participated in the Red Flag and Maple Flag exercises in the U.S. and Canada, however these involved extremely long flights and significant expenses that could be saved by conducting overseas training closer to Israel, across the Mediterranean sea.
Israel operates an aggressor squadron flying F-16s from the base in Ovda. For the recent exercise the squadron doubled the number of aircraft operated against the visiting aircraft, adding F-15I and F-16C fighter planes from northern IAF bases. A large instrumented combat range located north of the base is scattered with targets simulating active surface-to-air missile sites, radar emitters and electronic warfare threats realistically represented surface based threats and targets, offering modern strike fighters an excellent training environment.
The exchange is beneficial for the Israel Air Force as it offers the Israeli opportunities an important opportunity to train in dissimilar air combat, against unfamiliar combat aircraft they could meet at war. It also opens vast and unfamiliar training areas for the Israeli pilots, in neighboring countries, offering the Israeli pilots realistic and challenging missions at extended ranges – missions they canot perform realistically over their small home land.
For foreign air forces the training in Israel and with the reputable Israel Air Force provides an opportunity for pilots to gain unique experience in more realistic combat conditions they are used to in their training areas, particularly concerning electronic combat, self protection and engagement of surface-to-air weapons.

Israel, Turkey reactivate air force ties
By YAAKOV KATZ 12/21/2011 18:43
Mechanism suspended in September after UN report on ‘Mavi Marmara’ incident hurt relations.
Talkbacks ()
The air force has reestablished a coordination mechanism with Turkey that works to prevent aerial misunderstandings and potential clashes over the Mediterranean Sea.
Once long-time friends and training partners, ties between the IAF and the Turkish Air Force came to an end following Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip in 2009.
Despite the breakdown in diplomatic and military ties, the IAF continued to maintain an open line of communication with the Turkish Air Force to prevent potential misunderstandings when pilots from both countries encounter one another flying over the Mediterranean.
This too came to an end though in September when a United Nations commission, established to investigate the 2010 Turkish flotilla incident, determined that Israel’s sea blockade over the Gaza Strip is legitimate. It said however, that the Navy raid on the Mavi Marmara ship, which ended with nine dead passengers, was excessive and unreasonable.
A senior IAF officer said Wednesday that the coordination mechanism was recently reactivated as part of the countries’ efforts to stabilize and improve ties. Two weeks ago, the Turkish military attache to Israel attended an IAF briefing for foreign military officers at the Uvda Air Force Base on the sidelines of the IAF joint maneuvers with the Italian Air Force.
The officer said that the IAF would also likely invite Turkey to participate in a large-scale international aerial drill that it will be hosting in Israel in 2013. The IAF has significantly increased the number of joint-training drills it holds with foreign countries in recent years.
“There is nothing preventing them from participating,” the officer said.

Israel Cancels Air Surveillance Deal With Turkey: Paper
JERUSALEM - Israel has cancelled the sale of air surveillance equipment to Turkey over fears that it might fall into the hands of countries hostile to the Jewish state, the Haaretz daily said Dec. 22.
The report said that the contract was signed in 2008 with Elbit Systems and worth some $140 million.
Ynetnews, reporting the same story, said both the defense ministry and Elbit had confirmed the cancellation.
Haaretz's website said the decision was made "out of security concerns, principally in consideration of Turkey's ties with enemy states of Israel, particularly Iran."
It said the defense ministry highlighted that "we do not allow such advanced technology to fall into other hands, in this way the system can fall into enemy hands."
Export of any military equipment or defense technology is subject to ministry approval.
Haaretz said that, when asked about the cancellation, a security official said "ties with Turkey are extremely important to the state, but we have a security responsibility over any product that is given approval for export."
Once-flourishing Turkish-Israeli ties plunged into deep crisis last year when Israeli forces killed nine Turks in a raid on a Turkish ferry, part of an activist flotilla carrying aid to Gaza.

Isolation de la Turquie : Israël annule un accord militaire majeur pour Ankara Rédigé par JSS le Dec 24th, 2011 and filed under Israël-Relations internationales, Israël-Territoires Disputés. Vous pouvez suivre les réponses à cet article grâce au RSS 2.0. Vous pouvez laisser une réponse ou un trackback à cet article Alors que la dictature de Gül-Erdogan a pris un sérieux coup en mentant sur un “génocide” algérien qui n’a jamais eu lieu, voilà que les relations avec Jérusalem se tendent encore un peu plus. Après avoir perdu le soutien de presque tout l’occident pour ses positions de plus en plus radicales, le Ministère israélien de la Défense a ordonné l’annulation d’un contrat de 141 millions de dollars de coopération militaire avec la Turquie. La décision a d’abord été prise après qu’Israël ait pris peur que “des avancées technologiques inclues dans la transaction se retrouvent divulguée à des pays comme l’Iran.” Mais Israël a également peur que la Turquie, pays en voix d’islamisation non-modérée, devienne un pilier de la lutte anti-israélienne de ces prochaines années.
L’ordonnance du ministère de la Défense, qui est venue le même jour que la décision de la Turquie de déclasser ses relations avec Paris, a forcé le groupe ELTA, une filiale d’Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), et Elbit Systems, d’annuler un accord pour la vente de systèmes de renseignement aérien à l’armée de l’air turque. L/e système d’antenne est basée principalement sur des capteurs électro-optiques montés sur des avions, permet la numérisation de vastes zones de terres dans de courtes périodes de temps en utilisant des caméras et des équipements de vision nocturne. Les appareils photo produisent des images ultra-précises à plus de 100km du lieu pris en photo… Et même si l’appareil est monté sur un avion de chasse qui vol à plus de 1000 km/h… Dernière spécificité : le tout fonctionne même en cas de gros nuages ! Les entreprises israéliennes avaient également acceptées de vendre des systèmes de communication aux stations basées au sol. Des systèmes israéliens qui devaient permettre de déchiffrer les informations reçues par les avions pour les traiter en temps réel. La technologie permet à ses utilisateurs de recevoir instantanément des informations en continu sur l’ennemi sans avoir besoin de traverser les lignes. Marjorie Swec – JSSNews

US Congress approves further $235m for Israeli anti-missile programs
The money is for the Raytheon-Rafael David's Sling and for IAI's Arrow 3.
The US Congress has decided to allocate $235 million for the continued development of Israel's anti-missile systems. The money, which will soon be transferred to Israel, will be used for the further development of the David Sling system against short and medium-range missiles and rockets developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. and Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN), and for the next generation Arrow 3 anti-ballistic missile system, being developed by Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. (IAI) (TASE: ARSP.B1). IAI will probably begin testing of the Arrow 3 in mid-2012.
When the Arrow 3 becomes operational, it will be capable of intercepting incoming ballistic missiles while they are still in space, which will improve Israel's readiness in the event of an attack by missiles carrying unconventional warheads.
Minister of Defense Ehud Barak said, "The aid from Congress is the next level in the strengthening of defense ties between Israel and the US. The further development of anti-missile programs will help Israel to better prepare for attacks against it, thereby strengthening Israel’s security." Congress made the decision despite the serious economic situation in the US, and despite pending cuts in the US defense budget. Nonetheless, the US administration is ensuring the continuation of $3 billion in annual military aid to Israel.

Navy still looking to enlarge fleet
By YAAKOV KATZ 12/27/2011 00:40
Due to budgetary constraints, Navy cancels plans to buy two next-generation missile ships.
Talkbacks (5)
Due to budgetary constraints, the Navy has scrapped plans to purchase two next-generation missile ships and is instead looking to increase its fleet with smaller vessels.
The Navy had originally decided to purchase the US Navy’s littoral combat ship, under development by defense contractor Lockheed Martin, but backed away from the deal after the price soared.
RELATED: Navy completing secret 2 year submarine upgrade
It then looked into buying designs from Germany’s Blohm+Voss and having the vessels built by Israel Shipyards – a privately owned company based in Haifa that already builds the navy’s smaller Shaldag patrol boats – but a senior IDF officer involved in procurement plans said that a budget for that plan was also lacking.
Instead, the Navy is now looking to order two new Sa’ar 4.5-class missile corvettes and to finance the deal by retiring two of its Sa’ar 4-class ships.
The Sa’ar 4 ships have been in Navy service since the 1970s. The Sa’ar 4.5 ship is slightly larger than the Sa’ar 4 enabling it to carry more weapons systems.
The Navy reportedly has eight Sa’ar 4.5-class ships which come equipped with Harpoon missiles, a 76mm.
gun and a Phalanx defensive system. The ships can also be equipped with Barak missile defense systems, depending on operational needs.
The Navy had made a case for two advanced next-generation missile ships and even contemplated installing Arrow ballistic missile defense systems and surface-to-surface missiles on them.
However the General Staff decided against budgeting the two new vessels – which would have cost around $500 million – and instead approved the smaller and cheaper expansion of the Navy’s fleet.
The Navy has been playing an increasing role in IDF operations in recent years, whether operating alongside ground forces during Operation Cast Lead three years ago or against Iranian weapons smuggling in the Mediterranean and Red Seas.
Over the weekend, for example, Sudanese media reported that an Israeli submarine recently participated in an Israeli Air Force bombing of weapons convoys in eastern Sudan.

Disaster averted: Iron Dome missiles fall off truck
20 interceptors are damaged when soldiers fail to properly secure them; Iron Dome operations suspended during
A serious and expensive accident occurred this week in the Air Force unit responsible for the Iron Dome rocket defense system in the South. Twenty Iron Dome interceptor missiles fell several meters, causing damage to the missiles but no injuries.
The accident occurred when the missiles were improperly secured while being loaded onto a truck for maintenance, Israel Radio reported.
A number of soldiers and officers were nearby but none were injured. The rockets are built with a safety mechanism to ensure they only explode when fired at a rocket.
The missiles were damaged and will be removed from the active arsenal, according to the report. Each interceptor costs around $50,000 and usually two are fired at rockets slated for interception, putting the monetary cost of the accident at roughly $1 million.
The IDF ordered an immediate investigation into the incident, which senior officials called a case of severe negligence by soldiers and commanders who ignored safety procedures, the IDF Spokesman told Israel Radio. The Iron Dome system will be suspended until the initial investigation is completed.
Israel currently has three Iron Dome batteries deployed in the South and a fourth is slated to be deployed in early 2012. The system has intercepted dozens of rockets since the beginning of the year.
Thursday's incident follows reports that the United States Army is set to decide on the possible purchase of the Iron Dome counter-rocket defense system. The system, developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, has already been sold to Singapore, according to foreign reports.
The US Army is interested in using the Iron Dome outside bases in Iraq and Afghanistan that could potentially be targeted by Katyusha rockets. The US military has discovered 107 mm. Katyushas in Iraq in the past. The initial deal is valued at $100 million, but could reach several-hundred-million dollars over a number of years.

Forces aériennes israéliennes (Heyl Ha'Avir) va moderniser sa flotte d’avion de combat Lockheed-Martin F-16 et ceci pour notamment compenser les retards dans la livraison des premier F-35 «Ligtning II». Mais il s’agit également de maintenir la flotte de F-16 au plus haut niveau technologique, étant donné que celle-ci représente la colonne vertébrale des Forces aériennes.
Depuis un certain temps, Israël modernise ses F-16 avec tout d’abord les versions les plus anciennes A/B. Il s’agit aujourd’hui d’entreprendre une mise à jour des version C/D qui resteront en service après la livraison des F-35. L’IAF dispose de 324 avions de combat F-16, se qui en fait le premier utilisateur dans la région.
Modernisation des F-16 :
Dans le but d’augmenter la durée de vie de l'avion, l'IAF a décidé de mettre à niveau les commandes de vol du système ainsi que son unité d'affichage central, de plus les appareils seront équipés de nouveaux écrans haute résolution visant à accroître la qualité situationnelle des pilotes. Le viseur tête haute sera remplacé par un nouveau modèle produit par Elbit System et les appareils ne disposant pas encore de viseur de casque en seront pourvu.
Par ailleurs, un nouveau système d’enregistreur numérique sera installé et permettra d’amélioré les débriefing.

Le Premier ministre israélien Benyamin Netanyahou a déclaré dimanche que son pays envisageait de construire un mur le long de sa frontière orientale avec la Jordanie, à l'instar de celui actuellement en construction le long de la frontière égyptienne.
Le gouvernement israélien a investi quelque 360 millions de dollars dans cette barrière en acier de cinq mètres de haut qui courra le long des 240 km de la frontière occidentale avec l'Egypte au sud du pays, un projet qui doit normalement s'achever en septembre prochain.
"Quand la barrière de sécurité le long de la frontière égyptienne sera achevée, une autre sera construite le long de la frontière avec la Jordanie", a dit M. Netanyahou à ses ministres lors de la réunion hebdomadaire du cabinet, a rapporté la radio de l'armée Galgalatz.
Les deux projets visent à contrecarrer les tentatives d'infiltration sur le sol israélien, que ces tentatives soient le fait de réfugiés, de chercheurs d'emplois, de contrebandiers, ou d'assaillants menant des attaques transfrontalières, a-t-il été précisé.
"La frontière israélo-égyptienne est une frontière de paix", avait déclaré M. Netanyahu lors d'une visite en septembre dernier. Il avait cependant ajouté : "Pour maintenir cette paix, il faut la sécurité, et pour cela une barrière est nécessaire. Sa construction rapide est importante pour la paix et la sécurité."
