JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israel’s military shut down a Palestinian radio station in the West Bank over its calls to attack Israelis.
The Hebron-based Al Hurria was raided late Monday night, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
“Forces confiscated broadcasting equipment in order to prevent the incitement which has caused a flare of violence in the region over recent weeks,” the IDF said in a statement issued early Tuesday morning,
There have been 29 attacks in Hebron on soldiers and civilians in the past month, including 22 stabbings, four car-rammings and three shootings, according to the IDF.

“A large number of body parts may indicate that a powerful explosion took place aboard the plane before it hit the ground,” an Egyptian forensic expert told the agency.
A DNA analysis would be required to identify the victims of the Russian A321 airliner crash in Egypt, the expert added.
Earlier, Russian tabloid LifeNews claimed to have obtained the results of a forensic medical examination that allegedly stated that the passengers “in the tail section of the liner died because of so-called blast injuries.”

Just before a Russian passenger airliner crashed in Egypt’s Sinai on Saturday, a US infrared satellite reportedly detected a heat flash in the same vicinity, indicating that an explosion may have happened on board.
The US intelligence community believes that a fuel tank or bomb may have been the source of the heat signature, NBC News reported. The same satellite ruled out a missile attack, as it didn’t detect a heat trail that a rocket engine would have produced, the channel’s source said.
The heat flash may not be related to the crash since the Sinai Peninsula is a volatile place with regular military activity, a Pentagon official told ABC News.
As the investigation into the deadliest air incident in Russia’s history, which has claimed 224 lives, mostly Russian, is under way, officials say it’s too early to pronounce the cause of the crash – and that no version has been ruled out.
Preliminary data indicates that the Airbus 321 en route from Sharm-el-Sheikh to St Petersburg sustained heavy damage as it was traveling at an altitude of over 10,000 meters and the crew had no control over its descent. Rescue workers have found 12 large pieces of the plane’s hull at the crash site, indicating how badly it was damaged in the incident, Russian officials reported.

Okinawa authorities have filed a complaint against the Japanese government’s decision of October 28 to recommence work on a landfill project that is preparing a site for the relocation of a US military base, labeling it an “illegal invasion.”
Okinawa Governor Takeshi Onaga blasted the Wednesday move, asserting “the decision by the land minister represents illegal involvement,” the Japan Times reports.
The local government filed a complaint with a third-party panel, the Central and Local Government Dispute Management Council, after Tokyo restarted the landfill work on Thursday.
If the Council’s ruling does not block the central government’s work, which Okinawa has been opposing from the start, the local government plans to file a lawsuit.
Okinawa’s previous governor, Hirokazu Nakaima, gave the go-ahead for the relocation of the US military’s Futenma base to Henoko in 2013. The mood changed, however, in 2014, when Onaga was elected and promised to scuttle Tokyo’s plans.

The Russian Defense Ministry has denied media reports its aircraft hit hospitals in Syria, saying the medical facilities mentioned by Western media don’t actually exist.
The Defense Ministry has checked the data presented in recent media reports, which blamed Russian aviation for hitting several hospitals in Syria, Major-General Igor Konashenkov, the ministry spokesman said in a press briefing on Monday.
Konashenkov denied the accusations, which he said were “traditionally made without any proof, without any factual backing.”
Out of six hospitals that were mentioned in the reports, only one medical facility actually exists in real life, he added.

(JTA) — The Russian airplane that crashed in the Sinai was brought down by an “external force,” according to the airline.
Alexander Smirnov, the deputy general director of Kogalymavia airline, also known as Metrojet, told reporters on Monday in Russia that there were no technical failures on the plane, which he said was in excellent condition.
“There is no combination of system failures that could have broken the plane apart in the air,” he said, according to RT.
The airline’s deputy director, Viktor Yung, said the crew appeared to have been disabled before the crash as well.

A surge in the number of bodies of refugees whose boats capsized as they desperately tried to reach Europe has filled the burial grounds of the Greek island of Lesbos to capacity, the island’s mayor said, adding that over 50 bodies remain unburied.
The island’s morgues, cemeteries and emergency services have been overwhelmed with a record number of bodies of migrants who died trying to cross the Mediterranean in October. According to the latest UN data, over 218,000 people arrived in the EU during the month, beating the total annual number for the whole of 2014.
Some 744,000 migrants and refugees have arrived in Europe in 2015 alone, of which at least 3,300 died while making the journey.
Mayor Spyros Gallons told the Greek media that, while five funerals were held this weekend, 55 bodies remain at the morgue and the island is having a hard time finding burial ground for them.
“Yesterday we held five funerals, but there are still 55 bodies at the morgue,” NBC News quoted Galinos as saying. “Who could have anticipated such a carnage in the Aegean?”
