Fire erupts on ship at Dubai port, causing large explosion Tremors felt across UAE commercial hub from blast, which sends fireball into the sky; no immediate reports of casualties or extent of damage By Agencies Today, 11:50 pm DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — A container ship anchored at Dubai’s huge port caught fire late Wednesday, the emirate’s media office reported, causing an explosion that sent tremors across the commercial hub of the United Arab Emirates. The Twitter post from Dubai’s state-run media office said that a fire was reported to have erupted on a ship at the Jebel Ali port and that a team of firefighters was working to control the blaze. Officials said there were no immediate reports of casualties. The extent of the damage caused by the explosion to the port and surrounding cargo was not immediately clear. A fireball is seen after an explosion at the Jebel Ali port in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, July 7, 2021. (Screen capture: Twitter) People in Dubai recording with their phones from their high-rises posted frantic videos on social media showing a fiery ball illuminating the night sky. Witnesses reported shaking buildings across the city. Residents of neighborhoods as far away as 25 kilometers (15 miles) felt the blast around 11:45 p.m. Associated Press journalists felt the blast rock the glass windows of their apartments. The Jebel Ali port in Dubai is one of the largest in the world and the largest in the Middle East. It serves cargo from the Indian subcontinent, Africa and Asia. The port, operated by DP World, has four sprawling container terminals that can berth some of the world’s largest ships. This was the explosion heard across Dubai tonight. Details to follow. Praying all are safe. Via @xmufaxsam_ pic.twitter.com/pGUPYx0rUj lovindubai) July 7, 2021@) لوڤن دبي | Lovin Dubai — “I was outside on my balcony. My friend saw something yellow coming (like) the sun. I took the picture and after (there was) a sound,” said intern Clemence Lefaix, who is staying near the blast site and posted a photo of a bright orange light against the night sky in front of apartment buildings. A resident of Dubai’s Madina district, close to the Jebel Ali port, told AFP they “saw the windows shaking.” “I have been living here for 15 years and this is the first time I’ve seen and heard this,” they said. https://www.timesofisrael.com/fire-erupts-on-ship-at-dubai-port-causing-large-explosion/ Lapid invites Moroccan foreign minister to Israel Foreign Ministry director-general Alon Ushpiz delivers letter to Nasser Bourita, stressing importance of technological, economic ties By Lazar Berman Today, 8:39 pmUpdated at 10:20 pm Foreign Ministry Director-General Alon Ushpiz delivers a letter from Foreign Minister Yair Lapid to his Moroccan counterpart Nasser Bourita in Rabat, July 7, 2021 (Reut Shafir Ben Naftali) Foreign Minister Yair Lapid has invited his Moroccan counterpart, Nasser Bourita, to visit Israel. The written invitation was delivered Wednesday by Foreign Ministry Director-General Alon Ushpiz, who met with Bourati in Rabat during an ongoing visit to the North African kingdom. Lapid stressed in his letter to Bourita that restoring ties between Israel and Morocco was a historical milestone. Israel’s top diplomat also expressed his desire to make progress in bilateral cooperation in the fields of trade, technology, culture and tourism. Lapid noted the opening of direct flights between the countries, expected to begin in a matter of weeks. Also Wednesday, Ushpiz visited the tombs of former Moroccan kings Mohammed V and his son King Hassan II, the current monarch’s father. Alon Ushpiz, director general of the Foreign Ministry, signs the guest book at the Mausoleum of Mohammed V in Rabat, Morocco, July 7, 2021. (Courtesy) [ “We would like to thank the kings on Morocco… for their friendship and support of the Jews of Morocco throughout history, a legacy that his majesty King Mohammed VI is carrying on,” Ushpiz wrote in the guest book in both Hebrew and Arabic. He added: “The tradition of tolerance and moderation that has been left to us and the next generations is an inspiration for the renewal of ties between Israel and Morocco.” After a 20-year lull in diplomatic relations, Israel and Morocco renewed their ties late last year, amid a wave of normalization agreements with Arab countries. While Jerusalem and Rabat did not in the past have full relations — with diplomatic offices in each other’s capitals instead of embassies — they maintained close official ties until Morocco suspended them with the outbreak of the Second Intifada in 2000. On Sunday morning, a Moroccan air force plane touched down in Israel’s Hatzor Air Base, reportedly to take part in a multinational Israeli Air Force exercise later this month. The highly unusual landing of the Royal Moroccan Air Force C-130 cargo plane at the Hatzor Air Base near Ashdod was visible on public flight-tracking software, where it was quickly spotted by a number of amateur radar watchers, one of whom shared the information with The Times of Israel. It appeared to be at least the second time the RMAF cargo plane landed in Israel, the first time being in 1996 when it touched down at Ben Gurion International Airport, according to aviation enthusiast David Weinrich, who tracked that flight at the time. https://www.timesofisrael.com/lapid-invites-moroccan-foreign-minister-to-israel/ Herzog takes office as Israel’s 11th president, warns of dangers of polarization New president sworn in on same Bible as father 38 years ago; Rivlin: ‘Long live the eleventh president of the State of Israel. Long live the State of Israel’ By TOI staff Today, 6:26 pm Isaac Herzog is sworn in as president at the Israeli parliament in Newly sworn in President Isaac Herzog, center, embraces his Jerusalem, on July 7, 2021. (Yonatan Sindel/FLASH90) predecessor, Reuven Rivlin, in Jerusalem, on July 7, 2021. (Yonatan Sindel/FLASH90) Former Labor party leader Isaac Herzog took office on Wednesday as Israel’s 11th president, succeeding Reuven Rivlin. Herzog took his oath of office at a festive ceremony in the Knesset to cries of “long live [the president]” from its lawmakers. He kicked off his seven-year term with a pledge to serve as a “president for all” and work to tone down the country’s divisive rhetoric. In his inauguration speech, the new president — who exerts little power, with the prime minister wielding executive authority — warned that Israel’s “common ethos and shared values are more fragile than ever.” “Baseless hatred, polarization and division are exacting a very heavy price… the heaviest price is the erosion of our national resilience,” said Herzog. “My mission, the goal of my presidency, is to do everything to rebuild hope,” he added. During his speech, Herzog also stressed the country’s obligation toward its minorities, urging the government to battle crime in Arab communities. He also vowed to staunchly defend Israel’s military record to the international community. “As a Jewish and democratic state, we must do everything to ensure the integration of the minorities who live among us.

  • Israeli Naval Power: an Essential Factor in the Operational Battlefield

    Israeli Naval Power: An Essential Factor in the Operational Battlefield Zeev Almog Although the State of Israel has always been threatened from the sea, preparing for the threat was not an important priority for the state’s leaders, as reflected by the resources that were allocated to the navy. However, once long range missiles appeared in the naval arena (in the 1960s), it became clear that the navy’s vessels and the air force’s planes were not capable of coping with this challenge. Another change occurred following the Yom Kippur War and in no small measure as a product of the war, when the threat to Israel from the sea developed and assumed unprecedented proportions. As a result of their defeat in the naval theater in the Yom Kippur War, Arab fleets (with Western support) significantly increased their strength, mainly by acquiring high quality missile boats, submarines, and naval helicopters, and by fortifying their coasts and turning them into independent command centers. At the same time, technologies and naval arms were upgraded. The result was a changed naval theater, and an increased threat to Israel from the sea. Salvos of long range missiles (300 miles and more) with warheads with great explosive strength and pinpoint precision strike capability could henceforth be launched from surface vessels and submarines deep into Israeli territory. Ninety-eight percent of Israel’s cargo passes through the state’s maritime space, which adds a level of vulnerability from this theater. In addition, in the 1970s maritime terror attacks began to increase. They occurred at sea1 and/or on Israel’s coasts (some of these attacks to the country’s soft underbelly were among the worst that the State of Israel has experienced to this day), particularly because most of the state’s Rear Admiral (ret.)

(All photos courtesy of Israel Shipyard Ltd.) at Israel Shipyards under the management of Admiral Ze’ev Almog (retired Commander of the IN), who all were well familiar with the IN needs. They have closely followed the devel- opment stages for ensuring a positive outcome. The SHALDAG was developed and built by Israel Shipyards Ltd. (ISL), and was upgraded several times over the years based on combat experience gained. The original design was aim- ing at the ‘50-50’ formula, which means 50 tons displacement and 50 knots speed. Since at the time of development there was no similar craft that could reach the 50 knots speed, there was a need to construct a proto type. The first SHALDAG MK I was therefore built in 1989 and launched in 1990 to answer the concept of fast and highly manoeuvrable craft, self financed by ISL. Intensive series of sea trials were carried out to confirm that the defined performance was indeed achieved. Over the years, and due to dif- ferent customers’ requirements, the full load dis- placement increased to 58 tons and speed decreased to 47 knots.
