Researchers have discovered how Melanoma spreads through the body, a “breakthrough” they hope will lead to cancer becoming nonthreatening and easily curable, according to a new Tel Aviv University study done in cooperation with the German Cancer Research (DKFZ). Melanoma is an aggressive cancer that kills one person every 52 minutes, according to the international Skin Cancer Foundation. The study, which looked at the spread of Melanoma, was published in a Nature Cell Biology article.

The bill prohibits state bodies from investing in companies “engaging in actions that are politically motivated and are intended to penalize, inflict economic harm on, or otherwise limit commercial relations with the State of Israel, or companies based in the State of Israel or in territories controlled by the State of Israel.” The bill was the result of considerable lobbying efforts by…
Israeli officials insisted they were not seeking an escalation after Gaza-based terrorists fired a rocket into southern Israel on Sunday, but also unequivocally signaled that such attacks would not be tolerated. Just hours after the terrorist rocket landed in the backyard of a home in the southern town of Sderot, Israel launched a massive wave of aerial strikes on dozens of Hamas installations throughout Gaza. While Israel was careful to avoid casualties (Hamas reported just 1–2 people physically injured in the strikes), it was an unprecedented response to a single rocket attack. And that sat well with the battered residents…
“I believe in peace [and] as a Jewish Israeli soldier, I love the Palestinians.” That is how Israeli soldier Hananya Naftali opened his newest YouTube video.

Iran has gradually improved both its cyber abilities and developed more advanced ballistic missiles since the singing of the nuclear deal with world powers in July 2015, a new report from the U.S. The Islamic Republic now has a “substantial inventory of missiles capable of reaching targets throughout the region, including U.S. military bases and Israel,” the Pentagon said in an unclassified summary, Bloomberg News reported. The report issued by the Pentagon is part an annual review mandated by Congress from the defense agency as a result of the nuclear deal being approved last years. In addition to boosting its…
