Netanyahu and head of Mossad in the Quarantine




The new Corona virus forced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other ministers to submit to a quarantine, after the Ministry of Health announced that Minister Jacob Litzman was infected with the virus, on Thursday.

The Ministry of Health said in a statement that Jacob Litzman and his wife, who are also infected with the virus, were isolated and were in good condition and receiving treatment.
She added that she would send requests to undergo isolation to those who have been in touch with the minister for the past two weeks, including Netanyahu, other ministers, and the head of the Mossad intelligence service, Yossi Cohen.
 Litzman had contacted Netanyahu several times recently.



The Haaretz newspaper reported that the authorities asked Cohen and the head of the National Security Council to isolate themselves after they met Litzman.
Netanyahu underwent self-isolation after his counselor was found to be infected with the virus, while Israel was close to imposing a full closure to try to contain the outbreak of the virus.


And the government announced more than 6 thousand confirmed cases of corona virus, and 31 deaths, with the spread of the virus in the large isolated Orthodox community in Israel to which Litzman belongs.
In the early stages of the outbreak, some rabbis ignored government movement restrictions, but this resistance appears to have diminished.


On Wednesday, Netanyahu ordered the police to cordon off the heavily militant city of Bnei Brak, east of Tel Aviv, to limit movement to and from it.
Bnei Brak has the second largest number of Corona virus infections in Israel.

A 5.7-magnitude earthquake hits Utah, cuts the power to tens of thousands, and stops flights

A 5.7-magnitude earthquake struck the Salt Lake City area on Wednesday morning, cutting tens of thousands of electricity and suspending work at a Utah public health laboratory in the midst of the Corona virus pandemic. The airport said that flights to Salt Lake International Airport were diverted, departure was delayed, and terminals and terminals cleared so that engineers could inspect the facilities. The US Geological Survey said the quake was centered about 10 miles west of Salt Lake City, near Magna, starting at 7:09 am (9:09 am ET).

The state’s Ministry of Health said that operations at the state’s public health laboratory were halted as the building was evaluated for damage. Th...

A solar storm hits the earth on the first day of spring

Space weather forecasters have noticed a stream of solar winds coming toward us, which could hit Earth on March 19, the first day of spring. Scientists said that the solar wind could lead to the aurora borealis in the northern hemisphere. The stream of particles stems from the sun from a small hole on the surface of the sun, allowing winds to penetrate the solar system and move to its depths. The Space Weather website reported global predictions: "A small current from the solar wind is expected to hit the Earth's magnetic field on March 19, which may cause the twilight to occur around the Arctic Circle. The gaseous material flows from a newly opened hole in the sun's atmosphere." The aurora borealis occurs when solar particles strike the atmosphere, and when charged particles from the sun strike atoms in the Earth's atmosphere, which consists of different gases such as oxygen and nitrogen, those atoms are excited to give different colors with diffe...

mother's Day

Mother's Day is a celebration that appeared recently at the beginning of the twentieth century, and is celebrated in some countries to honor mothers and motherhood, the mother's association with their children, and the influence of mothers on society. This appeared in the desire of Western and European thinkers, after they found children in their societies neglecting their mothers and not giving their full care to them, so they wanted to make a day of the year to remind the children of their mothers. Later, the scope of the celebrants widened to become celebrated in many days and in various cities in the world, and most often it is celebrated in the month of March, April or May. The date of Mother’s Day differs from one country to another, for example in the Arab world it is the first day of the spring semester, that is March 21, while in Norway it is celebrated on February 2 ,in Argentina it is October 3, and South Africa celebrates it on May 1.  In the United St...
