You Must Be Kidding: 
El-Al security barred Arab-Israeli violinist Hisham Khoury from taking his instrument on board as carry-on luggage on the flight from Berlin to Tel-Aviv.
--Khoury said he told the security officers they were welcome to X-ray the violin or search it manually, but they refused. They also asked questions, “like how much I earn and why I’m returning to Israel. I reminded them that I’m an Israeli citizen; my parents live in Haifa, and I’m returning home.” Khoury took a different flight home with a German airline. (See and hear him play on the suspicious violin here.)

News Summary: 
A committee’s recommendations to (finally!) bring the heritage of Mizrachi Jews into Israel’s education system made big headlines in the Friday Hebrew newspapers along with the tragic double suicide of a father and son, the report of an assassination attempt on Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in Africa, which his bureau rejected. Also in the news, Arnaud Mimran, the Jewish French tycoon who vacationed with and gave money to Netanyahu, was sentenced to eight years in prison for Europe’s ‘fraud of the century.’ (Six of Mimran’s codefendants were French Jews who were tried in absentia, having fled to Israel and taken Israeli citizenship before the trial began.) And Netanyahu’s former chief of staff, Ari Harow, is under investigation on suspicion of fraud, too. And, according to another report, Israel 'tampered' with French Prime Minister Manuel Valls’ cellphone during his visit here, which Netanyahu’s bureau also denied.
 
The trial of IDF soldier Elor Azariya over the extrajudicial killing of Palestinian assailant Abd al-Fatah al-Sharif continued to make headlines. Maariv discussed what Azariya’s brigade commander, Col. Yariv Ben-Ezra revealed in his testimony: that MDA, Israel’s official paramedic service “refuses to treat injured terrorists.” The dispute between the IDF and the paramedical organization is ongoing, it was revealed. Haaretz reported that the day before the shooting, Col. Ben-Ezra wrote a report stating that in "the last two weeks, there were two cases where the Magen David Adom was unwilling to take care of wounded Palestinians. It bears noting that the priority is first to take care of the settler/soldier and then the Palestinian, but it is their duty to provide first aid for all.” MDA insisted that it “won’t treat terrorists before they are checked by a sapper” for bombs. But, as one of the soldiers testified, no one spoke to soldiers about bombs because bomb belts have not been part of this wave of violence. Meanwhile, security has been increased for the military prosecutors in Azariya's trial due to incitement against them on social media networks, including threats to their lives, Israel Hayom and Maariv reported. They were also briefed about how to protect themselves from physical attacks and what situations to avoid. A special emergency application was added to their cellphones.
