Another milestone in the acquisition deal of the IDF's future helicopter: The Ministry of Defense signed an agreement with 'Elbit Systems' for the integration of an Israeli systems package into the CH-53K "Yas'ur" helicopter, with a scope of over 400 million NIS
As part of the defense establishment's preparations for receiving the "Yas'ur" transport helicopters, the Defense Procurement Administration (DPA) at the Ministry of Defense signed a 'blueing' deal with Elbit Systems to integrate a 'Blue and White' technology package into the helicopter, including: control and command systems, avionics systems, electronic warfare systems, warning systems, and advanced missile defense systems Dircm, in the 12 new helicopters purchased and expected to replace the old Yas'ur helicopters. The deal was led by the Deputy DPA for Air and Sea Procurement unit and is estimated at over 400 million shekels.
The CH-53K model helicopters were purchased as part of a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) deal, signed several years ago between the Ministry of Defense and the U.S. government. They are manufactured by Lockheed Martin-Sikorsky and are currently in assembly processes on the main production line in Connecticut.
Upon completion of assembly, the helicopters are expected to move to a dedicated installation and production line, established to adapt the helicopters produced in the American version to helicopters with Israeli systems, tailored to the operational needs defined by the Air Force. The integration of the Israeli systems is expected to upgrade the cockpit environment and enable flight under challenging conditions, marking safe landing zones and obstacles, and more.

Netanyahu :
I am now leaving for the United States for my seventh trip, to meet with President Trump since he was elected for his second term. This, of course, does not include his unforgettable visit to Israel and his speech in the Knesset.
I think these things reflect the unique closeness in the exceptional relationship we have with the United States and personally with the President, and for the State of Israel with the United States - something unprecedented in our history.
On this trip, we will discuss a range of issues: Gaza, the region, but of course primarily the negotiations with Iran.
I will present to the President our views regarding the principles in the negotiations, the important principles, and in my opinion, they are important not only for Israel but for everyone in the world who wants peace and security in the Middle East.

Shin Bet thwarted a terror cell operating in Samaria, run by elements in Lebanon. The cell was instructed to film a settlement in Samaria and conducted shooting drills in preparation for carrying out an attack.
Last October, Muhammad Sidqa, a resident of the village of Anza in Samaria, was arrested for investigation by Shin Bet after being suspected of intending to carry out an attack. During his interrogation, it was revealed that Sidqa traveled to Lebanon, where he was recruited by Musa Abu Saif, known as "Jibril," an operative in a terror cell, for the purpose of carrying out activities in the West Bank and recruiting military squads in the area.
After returning from Lebanon to the West Bank via Jordan, Sidqa recruited additional operatives to carry out attacks, including Muhammad Khalil, a resident of Ramallah, and Muhammad Barahma, a resident of Anza, who were also arrested for Shin Bet investigation.
It also emerged during his interrogation that until his arrest, Sidqa maintained contact with the cell in Lebanon through communications on social networks and a gaming app.
Simultaneously, another squad operated by the same Lebanese cell was uncovered, and two residents of the village of Tal in Samaria, in their 20s, Dia al-Din Hamad and Nizar Atida, were arrested for Shin Bet investigation.
Their investigation revealed the recruitment process by a Lebanese terror operative named Mujahid, who was assisted by several other Lebanese individuals calling themselves "Abu Ahmad" and "Abu Wahid," who managed the communication, including correspondence on social networks. As part of their recruitment, the two underwent shooting training to prepare for an attack, were instructed to film a settlement in Samaria, and agreed to transfer funds for purchasing weapons.
Intelligence and investigations revealed that at the head of the cell recruiting the two squads to promote terror activities against the State of Israel stands Mujahid Dahsha, a Lebanese resident with connections to Hamas and Hezbollah operatives.
Indictments have been filed against the five operatives residing in the West Bank.
The General Security Service will continue to act to thwart any attempt to promote terror activities against the State of Israel, its residents, and citizens.
