No actual pictures yet, as I'm about to head out to the range and shoot it, but I saw it in the used case at Cabelas the other day. What caught my eye at first was the IMI markings, since they discontinued those long ago, then the unusual slide design, and then when I was checking the trigger pull and reset, I noticed dual recoil guide rods and the slide-top decocking button.

The slide ride inside the frame, and the grip design is pure CZ-75, and upon returning home with my prize, LO! my OEM and Mec-Gar CZ-75 magazines lock in and cycle ammo perfectly.

The finger grooved grip fits my hand perfectly, and the trigger is actually fairly decent for a mass market pistol intended for military/LE duty use. Double action feels like it's around 8lbs or so, single is about 4-5, tiny bit of creep with a nice clean break. It's in .40S&W, so magazine capacity is down 3-4 from it's 9MM cousins, but 2 better than the .45ACP models. I have some Mec-Gar CZ75 magazines with the +2 basepads from my Tristar P-120 that I'll try out to see if they let me get 14 rounds, though I expect I'll probably only get 13 rounds with them in .40.
The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

It looks like they added a hump to give more real estate for slide manipulation.

A few years ago they were calling it the Jericho B on the IWI web site - and then it just disappeared.
