Can the Israeli Jericho 941 pistol be fitted with a suppressor?
Apparently not.
How about the Israeli Masada pistol?
Same answer.
Now I have to find another suppressed pistol, as a signature weapon and personality / profession identifier, for a main supporting character. Quick introduction. Hannah is in IDF Military Intelligence, has a polite yet forceful / tenacious manner, is hyper-protective of her family, and has absolute or below-zero tolerance for BS (regardless of rank or profession).
Update: Just read the Israeli Intelligence (i.e. Mossad) prefer to use foreign-made weapons for deniability…suppressed Glocks aplenty…Makes sense in reality, but sucks for my character. Maybe Hannah’s customised(?) Jericho is her off-duty / casualwear sidearm (personal statement), not her “company car” type weapon. Or she’s too stubborn to use standard gear,* or to be deployed any distance from home where deniability is recommended.
*Don’t be boring ~ Israeli motto.

Why could I totally believe the deniability thing is super true xD

Somewhat related. After the Six Day War (1967) several Israeli commando units adopted the Soviet AK rifle series as their standard weapon…The Israelis had captured thousands of such weapons in the previous war…The Israeli commandos preferred the AKs because of their deniability aspect (using the same weapons as their enemies), and because the AKs were more robust. The IDF’s FN FALs did not like the desert (fine sand gets everywhere*).
During the 1967 war and the 1973 Yom Kippur war, the IDF captured hundreds of abandoned / damaged T-55s and T-62s, repaired and rearmed them, and deployed the restored T-series tanks in combat units.** They were of particular use fighting against the Egyptians on both sides of the Suez Canal (during the War of Attrition, and the 1973 war). Many Egyptian commanders were confused as to why their fellow T-series tanks were shooting at them. These perplexing tanks had Arabic markings and unit insignias, but Israeli crews.
*One reason why Israeli-made rifles (e.g. Tavor, Galil) are over-designed. The internal components need to overcome (crush) any sand blocking their movement.
**Israel acquired enough T-series tanks during the wars to develop and field their own variants. These were known as the Tiran tank series.

I was looking up the sounds a cave makes when collapsing and found on YouTube two interesting videos which are not linked below:
10 hours of rock falling sounds, relaxing
HOW. I don’t know. Do people like the sounds of rocks falling??? Maybe pebbles are nice, but ROCKS? Isn’t that like saying you like the sound of an earthquake? 
I did not watch this one.
Cave explorer videos
I watched one.
Oh my gosh, there is a whole community of people who risk their lives crawling through extremely tight spaces. These are caves, but not the cavernous type. Oh no. They are as tight a space as under your bed. It’s INSANE how tight these spaces are. The people barely find places to even sit up. They are on their stomachs most of the time.
If you are claustrophobic, DO NOT watch videos of cave explorers.
Some of the thumbnails are already worrying looking as if they are stuck inside a deep crevice…
The reason I watched one at all despite the worrying thumbnail (which looks like giant boulders are crushing someone) and the equally worrying title “The cave collapsed on me” is because I thought maybe the thumbnail is clickbait. I mean, they uploaded it. They probably won’t post a video if they…you know. And I thought maybe I could see a rock fall or hear it or something.
So, I watched it and…I was right. The thumbnail looks bad, but there was actually quite a bit of crawl space under the big boulders. As for the collapsing, the rocks shifted, not collapsed. The old clickbait trick to trigger people’s morbid curiosity. From the video, it was obvious these guys were pros who knew what they are doing, not noobs. But I did skip ahead to make sure they were actually coming out of the cave at the end and were okay 
I couldn’t watch the entire thing. I don’t have claustrophobia, but I felt like watching the video would make me claustrophobic and I didn’t want that in my life Also the camera movements being unpredictable was making me motion sick, so I had to stop.
Anyway, cave explorers. These are professional thrill seekers. They live on danger. They eat it for breakfast.
Thank you for reading my…blog? XD I had a lot to say about this one.
