 VIDEO Drone Modifikasi Hamas Jadi Momok Mengerikan Bagi Israel, Menjadi Senjata Mematikan

(Bloomberg) -- It wasn’t the eruption of rocket fire from Gaza that rattled soldiers at Israel’s southern frontier on Oct. 7. It was the unusual hum overhead that they hadn't heard before. 

A fleet of drones that are available online for as little as $6,500 filled the skies above Israel’s $1 billion border fence. They were rigged to carry explosives and knock out cameras, communications systems and remote-controlled guns, setting the stage for the unprecedented massacre. 

Militaries have been using drones in conflicts for more than two decades. Israel itself boasts one of the largest armies of unmanned aerial vehicles in the Middle East. Today, a new generation of cheap, commercially available systems — like the ones Hamas used in the Oct. 7 attack — is emerging, challenging some of the world’s most technologically advanced forces. 

The war with Hamas is a wakeup call for top-tier militaries about their deadly potential, according to Heven Drones Chief Executive Officer Bentzion Levinson, whose company supplies the Israeli army with heavy lifter and hydrogen-powered drones.

“We have these huge drones, these UAVs, we have planes, our technology is much more advanced,” Levinson said. “What this war did is that we realized that this is happening in our backyard, both on the defense and the offensive side.”

Hamas’s use of modified commercial drones to stage attacks — a strategy also used by Ukraine in the early days of Russia’s invasion — exposed a significant vulnerability in Israel’s vaunted air and ground defenses. The tactics overwhelmed a far more advanced opponent, all on a shoestring budget.

With the high-tech surveillance systems compromised, thousands of Hamas militants overwhelmed the border in trucks and paragliders. The attack on southern Israel was the deadliest day in the country’s history, with about 1,200 people killed and some 200 taken hostage. It took days for the army to fully regain control of the territory. 

Israel launched a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip on Oct. 27. Over 19,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the war began, according to the Hamas-controlled health ministry in the territory.

A spokesperson for the Israeli army declined to comment on how it was countering drones or the failure of its early warning systems. “Questions of this kind will be looked into in a later stage,” after the war, the spokesperson said. 

The Israel Defense Forces use its UAV fleet for surveillance and bombing targets. They are also increasingly turning to drones in urban warfare in Gaza to scout out buildings and defuse explosives before sending in troops, according to Aviv Shapira, the chief executive officer of Xtend, which provides UAV operating systems to the US and Israeli militaries. 

Israel has already upgraded its Iron Dome system — which uses interceptors to protect against incoming short range missiles — to detect large UAVs, but many Hamas drones are still able to slip through. The army is testing a laser-based system designed to intercept smaller ones and short-range rockets, although it won’t be ready for at least another year.

Some Israeli startups and tech volunteers have already drawn up new defenses, as the army’s troops involved in the ongoing invasion of Gaza come under frequent DIY kamikaze drone attacks. Videos posted by Hamas’s military wing since the start of the war, which could not be independently verified, show drones dropping grenades on Israeli troops and damaging armored vehicles.

A team of volunteers working out of a WeWork space in Tel Aviv — just across the street from Israeli military headquarters — has already gotten the army’s attention. The Israel Tech Guard initiative grew out of a Discord server that was formed on Oct. 8 by dozens of Israeli tech workers, including from Google and defense contractor Rafael, according to Mor Ram-On, a co-founder of the group.

One of their systems, developed in four days and now undergoing field testing on army bases, is an app that links two mobile phone cameras and audio systems to scan the skies for drones. It uses a 3D-printed case that can be mounted to vehicles and the group hopes to roll out the cheap alert system quickly.

Hamas drone attacks remain a potent threat, according to Liran Antebi, a research fellow at the Israel-based Institute for National Security Studies.  

“It gives you the ability to use precise or guided munition, which is something that until several years ago, only very advanced countries could do,” Antebi said. “With a criminal mind and small equipment, you can do terrible things like the first attack of Hamas.”

Hamas developed the tactics with its ally Iran and Mohamed Zaouari, a Tunisian engineer who led the group’s effort to develop UAVs. He was assassinated in 2016 in a killing the militants blame on Israeli intelligence. A model of attack drones is named after him and 35 of them were used in opening salvo.

Photos released by Hamas and the Israeli army appear to show off-the-shelf drones, including models similar to one made by Chinese producer DJI intended for aerial photography and industrial applications.

Three DJI drones were being studied at Sentrycs, a Tel Aviv startup that designs systems to counter UAVs. They are one type of aircraft that were rigged with explosives by Hamas, which is designated a terrorist organization by the US and European Union.

The effectiveness of the Hamas drone program also exacerbates growing concerns that non-state actors could develop deadly weapons with dual-use tech whose sales can’t be tracked. Even as militaries spend record amounts on sophisticated technology, simple equipment can allow marginal players to coordinate devastating attacks. 

Many soldiers in Gaza have been resorting to shooting the slow-moving drones out of the sky. The Israeli army said in a November blog post it has assigned a handheld SmartShooter precision targeting system to a soldier in every infantry unit for the first time. 

The system can be mounted on assault rifles and improves accuracy for moving targets like drones or enemy combatants. 

Israel had at least one system on the Gaza border on Oct. 7 specifically designed to counter drones, but it was not yet operational. The final stages of testing were scheduled a few days after the surprise attack, according to Sentrycs, which developed it. The system can detect and take control of drones from several kilometers away, rerouting them away from their targets. It's now deployed on Israeli military vehicles, along the border and near strategic assets, said Sentrycs Vice President Rotem Epelbaum. 

“We were off by a week,” Epelbaum said. “It could have been a game-changer.”

The genre-based approach in English language teaching




The genre-based approach in English language teaching focuses on teaching students the specific language and organizational patterns of different genres of writing. This approach aims to raise awareness of the linguistic features associated with various genres and teach students the 'moves' of each genre
1
. It involves the explicit teaching of genre elements, their sequencing, and the collaborative and individual production of exemplars
1
. The genre-based approach is particularly beneficial for teaching writing skills, as it helps students understand how to write for different purposes and audiences
5
. Teachers' knowledge of genre and its application to teaching is often underpinned by Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) genre theory
2
. This approach is considered suitable for both academic and professional settings, as it provides a different perspective on writing and can be effective for teaching and learning writing
4
. Overall, the genre-based approach is a valuable method for teaching writing skills, as it helps students develop a deep understanding of different types of texts and how language is used within them.

A genre-based approach in English language teaching (ELT) is an instructional method that focuses on teaching language through the study and analysis of different genres or types of texts. A genre is a category of texts that share similar characteristics in terms of form, structure, and language features. Examples of genres include essays, narratives, reports, letters, and more.

Here are key elements and considerations associated with a genre-based approach in English language teaching:

Understanding Genres:Teachers help students identify and understand various genres of written and spoken communication.
Emphasis is placed on recognizing the specific features, structures, and language patterns associated with each genre.

Authentic Texts:Authentic texts, such as newspaper articles, advertisements, or excerpts from novels, are used to expose students to real-world language use within specific genres.

Text Analysis:Students analyze the structure, language, and rhetorical features of different genres to develop an awareness of how language functions in context.
Teachers guide students in deconstructing and reconstructing texts to understand the underlying patterns.

Genre-Based Writing:Students practice producing texts in various genres, applying the conventions and structures they have learned.
Writing tasks may include composing essays, reports, letters, and other genre-specific assignments.

Speaking and Listening Activities:Oral communication is integrated into the approach, with a focus on genre-specific speaking and listening skills.
Students engage in activities such as discussions, presentations, and role-plays within the context of different genres.

Genre-Based Assessment:Evaluation and assessment are aligned with genre-specific criteria. Students are assessed not only on language proficiency but also on their ability to effectively use language within specific genres.

Integrated Skills:A genre-based approach often integrates the four language skills—reading, writing, speaking, and listening—ensuring a holistic language learning experience.

Contextualized Learning:Language is taught in context, allowing students to see the purpose and relevance of language use within different genres.

Cultural Awareness:The approach may incorporate elements of cultural awareness, helping students understand how language and communication vary across different contexts and cultures.

Task-Based Learning:Tasks and activities are designed to be meaningful and purposeful, simulating real-life language use situations.

A genre-based approach aims to provide students with the tools and skills necessary to navigate and produce language effectively in a variety of contexts. It emphasizes not only language proficiency but also genre-specific competence, preparing students for real-world communication in diverse situations.

INILAH NAMA LAIN DAGING BABI YANG DIGUNAKAN DALAM MAKANAN, UMAT ISLAM WAJIB TAHU
 
๐Ÿ’Wakil Direktur Bidang Auditing dan Sistem Jaminan Halal, Ir. Muti Arintawati menyatakan, di tengah ramainya barang~barang impor, seiring dengan Masyarakat Ekonomi Asean, konsumen di Indonesia memang harus lebih kritis terhadap produk yang hendak mereka konsumsi. Banyak istilah yang belum mereka pahami, sehingga sangat disarankan agar konsumen bertanya terlebih dahulu sebelum membeli sesuatu yang kandungan bahannya belum mereka ketahui.
“Ini untuk menghindari kejadian seperti ibu~ibu yang membeli siomay cu nyuk, beberapa waktu lalu,” tukasnya.

๐Ÿ“Sebagai contoh, ramai yang belum memahami bahwa label bertulis This product contain substance from porcine, artinya produk tersebut mengandung bahan dari babi.

๐Ÿ‘Begitu juga dengan istilah The source of gelatin capsule is porcine, yang artinya kapsul dari gelatin babi.

๐Ÿ‡Berikut adalah istilah yang digunakan dalam produk yang mengandung/menggunakan unsur babi, yang dirangkum dari berbagai sumber, antara lain:

๐Ÿ‚.PIG
Istilah umum untuk seekor babi atau sebenarnya babi muda, berat kurang dari 50 kg.

๐Ÿ‚.PORK
Istilah yang digunakan untuk daging babi di dalam masakan.

๐Ÿ‚.SWINE
Istilah yang digunakan untuk keseluruhan kumpulan spesies babi.

๐Ÿ‚.HOG
Istilah untuk babi dewasa, berat melebihi 50 kg.

๐Ÿ‚.BOAR
Babi liar / celeng / babi hutan.

๐Ÿ‚.LARD
Lemak babi yang digunakan untuk membuat minyak masak dan sabun.

๐Ÿ‚.BACON
Daging hewan yang disalai, termasuk / terutama babi.

๐Ÿ‚.HAM
Daging pada bagian paha babi.

๐Ÿ‚.SOW
Istilah untuk babi betina dewasa (jarang digunakan).

๐Ÿ‚.SOW MILK
Susu babi.

๐Ÿ‚.PORCINE
Istilah yang digunakan untuk sesuatu yang berkaitan atau berasal dari babi.

๐ŸŽPorcine sering digunakan di dalam bidang pengobatan/ medis untuk menyatakan sumber yang berasal dari babi.

๐ŸMasyarakat perlu hati-hati juga dengan istilah-istilah lain yang merujuk pada babi, misalnya : cu nyuk, dalam bahasa Khek/Hakka (nama kelompok masyarakat Tioghoa), cu berarti babi dan nyuk berarti daging.  Jadi jika digabung  cu nyuk memiliki arti daging babi, sedangkan dalam bahasa Mandarin daging babi disebut cu rou. Sama halnya dengan istilah ham di Eropa.

๐ŸUntuk masyarakat Eropa  ham adalah istilah umum untuk daging babi. Di Jepang chashu atau yakibuta adalah istilah makanan yang merujuk pada nama makanan olahan babi bagian perut. Chasheeu juga memiliki istilah lain  yang disebut nibuta (arti harfiah: babi masak).

๐ŸŒTak jauh berbeda dengan makanan Jepang, makanan Korea yang kini sedang booming di kalangan  masyarakat Indonesia juga terdapat istilah-istilah makanan yang memiliki arti khusus sebagai produk makanan olahan babi seperti, dwaeji-bulgogi yang berarti babi panggang bumbu, Samgyeopsal (daging perut babi yang dipanggang tanpa/dengan bumbu), dan Makchang gui  (jeroan babi panggang).

๐ŸˆTak hanya pada makanan international, pada makanan lokal pun terdapat istilah-istilah khusus untuk pangan olahan babi. Misalnya saksang (olahan daging babi khas daerah Tapanuli), Bak kut teh (makanan Tionghoa paduan dari sayur asin dengan kaldu iga babi khas Kepulauan Riau), Tinorangsak: gulai babi khas Manado.

๐ŸŠJika menemukan istilah~istilah tersebut di atas, konsumen tak perlu ragu untuk meninggalkan produk tersebut dan menggantinya dengan produk sejenis yang telah bersertifikat halal. (FM)
