Transcript [00:00] You know, if you search online for u the [00:03] terms like terrorism West Bank or Judea [00:07] Samaria, what you'll get is a lot of [00:10] stuff about settler terrorism, about how [00:12] the Jewish settlers are terrorizing [00:14] Palestinians, which is uh almost [00:16] entirely [00:18] uh nonsense. It's almost entirely [00:20] situations of provocation and [00:22] altercations. [00:23] Uh and uh it's a scam. Uh there are some [00:27] bad actors out there. There are some [00:29] misbehaving kids among the uh uh among [00:33] the the Jewish population out there, the [00:35] settler population, and they're dealt [00:38] with appropriately. Uh in the in the [00:40] last 10 years, there's been exactly one [00:43] death of a Palestinian at the hands of [00:45] Jewish settlers. One. And it was a rock [00:48] throwing incident where the car then [00:49] drove off the road and someone was [00:51] killed. One. One. But what you will not [00:54] find in most worldwide media is the [00:57] daily barrage of terrorist attacks [01:00] against Jews in Judea and Samaria. And [01:03] I've talked about the threat that that [01:04] we have from Judea and Samaria. I'll say [01:06] it again. The greatest security threat [01:09] to Israel is not Iran. It's not Gaza. [01:12] It's not. It's not it's none of that. [01:16] The greatest security threat to Israel [01:18] and it's not even close is the [01:20] Palestinian Authority and what's going [01:22] on in Judea and Samaria. They have an [01:24] army there. They are getting ready to [01:26] fight Israel. All these, you know, now [01:29] you have Israeli politicians talking [01:30] about dismantling the Palestinian [01:32] Authority, which I'm in favor of. But [01:34] understand, it means that we're going to [01:35] have a war on our hands when that comes. [01:37] But separate from that, from the issue [01:39] of the Palestinian Authority, is the [01:41] issue of terrorism. There's simply, you [01:43] know, what you get in the media is [01:45] reports of every little altercation [01:47] between, you know, where Jews did [01:49] something. Oh, settler terrorism because [01:51] they need the settler terrorism story to [01:53] prop [snorts] up their whole Palestinian [01:56] statethood thing and the oppressed [01:57] Palestinians and how bad settlements [01:59] are. They need it. They need that [02:00] narrative. So, they're constantly [02:01] promoting it in the media. And they [02:03] specifically do not report on what again [02:07] what is daily terrorism. So, I'm just [02:09] going to share with you a couple of [02:10] recent terrorist incidents that have [02:12] made the headlines here in Israel that [02:13] you might not have heard about anywhere [02:15] else and then also link it back to some [02:17] things that have happened over the last [02:18] month or so that point to the bigger [02:20] problem. So, let's take a look at a few [02:22] headlines here. Police say they [02:24] discovered a tunnel storing firearms in [02:27] the West Bank's Calcilia. So, in [02:30] Samaria, there's a a city called [02:32] Kkillia, an Arab city, a Palestinian [02:34] city you want to call Palestinian, an [02:36] Arab city. And uh it's it's pretty near [02:40] the the u the border with main Israel as [02:44] it were like meaning outside of Judea [02:46] outside of the Judea Samaria area. Uh [02:49] for those of you familiar with Israel, [02:51] it's not far from Carsaba. [02:53] And anyway, what does it say in the [02:54] story? Police say they discovered a [02:56] tunnel storing guns and ammunition in [02:59] the northern West Bank city of Killilia, [03:01] which abuts the territo's border with [03:02] Israel. Four suspects were arrested on [03:05] the scene and taken for interrogation. [03:06] Police say the tunnel is about 25 meters [03:10] deep, about 82 feet deep, and is still [03:12] under construction, police say, adding [03:14] that the officers also discovered the [03:16] start of an excavation of another [03:18] tunnel. The equipment in the tunnel [03:20] included an M16 assault rifle, a sniper [03:23] rifle, and material to produce [03:25] explosives, according to police. Now, [03:28] after this story came out, the IDF shot [03:31] back and rejected the claim. Not not all [03:34] of the claim, just the extens the extent [03:37] of the claim, as we'll see here. IDF [03:39] rejects police claim of Kilia tunnel [03:41] says two shafts found. The Israel [03:43] Defense Forces on Thursday rejected an [03:46] earlier Israel police announcement that [03:48] officers had uncovered a 25 meter deep [03:50] tunnel in the West Bank city of [03:51] Kolkillia, saying military engineers [03:54] instead found two shafts about 12 m deep [03:57] with no connecting underground route. [04:00] The clarification followed a joint [04:02] overnight operation by IDF troops, [04:04] border police, and Israel police in [04:06] Calcilia after intelligence indicated [04:08] weapons were being stored in the area. [04:10] Four suspects were arrested and taken [04:12] for questioning while security forces [04:14] continued searching for additional [04:16] weapons and shafts. Police said [04:18] Wednesday that officers had found a [04:20] tunnel still under excavation. That's [04:22] the story I showed you. Along with the [04:24] beginning of a second tunnel. They also [04:25] reported seizing an M16 rifle, a sniper [04:28] rifle, ammunition, magazines, phones, a [04:30] digital video recorder, and fertilizer [04:32] that could be used in explosives. After [04:34] soldiers from the IDF's Yahalom Combat [04:37] Engineering Unit examined the site, the [04:39] military issued a sharply different [04:40] account, it said two shafts 12 meters [04:43] deep had been located and uh and that [04:46] and that the all the weapons, the the [04:48] M16, the hunting rifle, the handgun, the [04:50] ammunition were all found right near [04:51] there. Okay. So, there's some dispute [04:55] about whether there was another tunnel. [04:56] I think they don't want people to get [04:57] too alarmed over it. Uh but either way, [05:00] we're still talking about, you know, [05:02] weapons that were being stored there [05:03] prepared for terrorist activity right [05:05] near uh the rest of Israel. Now, I'm [05:08] going to take you back and we're talking [05:10] about tunnels, it while it may be, we [05:13] could have a dispute about whether it [05:15] was just a few shafts or there was the [05:16] beginning of a tunnel network, but [05:18] here's a story from [05:20] over a month ago. Palestinian arrested [05:23] after tunnel found near Westbank border [05:25] fence outside Jerusalem. [05:27] Border police arrested a 36-year-old [05:29] Palestinian resident of Kalandia on [05:31] Sunday night after discovering him and [05:33] several other people digging a tunnel [05:35] near the border fence between Israel and [05:38] the West Bank. Observers from the Border [05:40] Police patrol unit initially noticed the [05:42] group digging a tunnel near the fence [05:44] and alerted officers in the field who [05:46] went to the scene. [05:48] Okay. And then as the security forces [05:50] approached, the suspects fled the scene. [05:52] That kind of tells you that they were up [05:54] to no good. [05:56] uh they found the digging equipment [05:59] there. Okay, so we have that incident [06:01] that took place and we also have this. [06:03] This is a completely different story. [06:05] This is from June, a few months before [06:06] that one. Police find possible terror [06:09] tunnel running from West Bank towards [06:11] Jerusalem. Arrest two. Look at that. [06:13] Israel police arrested a Palestinian man [06:15] and an East Jerusalem resident on [06:17] Wednesday. That's back in June. after [06:19] discovered or after they discovered a [06:21] tunnel near the Azim checkpoint in the [06:23] West Bank east of Jerusalem amid fears [06:26] it could be used for a terror attack or [06:27] for smuggling Palestinians into Israel. [06:30] Okay, so they found and they found all [06:32] the digging equipment there. [06:36] Underground tunnels have long been a [06:37] strategic tool used by terror groups in [06:39] Gaza and Lebanon, but few have been [06:41] discovered to date in the West Bank. In [06:44] September 2024, they located a short [06:47] underground tunnel near a hospital in [06:49] Westbank city of Tulcaram during a [06:51] counterterrorism operation. [06:53] Um, [06:58] and [07:00] yeah, there we go. So, [07:03] this is all very disturbing. It's all [07:06] it's all pointing to the fact that there [07:07] are efforts being made uh in Judea and [07:11] Samaria in what's known as the West Bank [07:13] by these terrorists to use the same [07:15] tactics of underground tunnels, [07:17] underground munition stores. Israel [07:20] right now is conducting a lot of [07:21] operations trying to, you know, [07:23] confiscate weapons and clean things out [07:25] over there. But it is just a hornets's [07:27] nest. And meanwhile, we have terror [07:30] incidents that are happening every [07:32] single day. So uh just this just in the [07:35] last few days Yom Kipur the day of [07:38] atonement was on Monday. On Sunday on [07:40] the during the preparations for Yom [07:42] Kipur there was a murder of Natan [07:44] Shukrun a father of six [07:47] a father of six. Natanal Shukrun or [07:49] Shakrron was murdered near Nvetu. He was [07:52] going to immerse in the spring there. It [07:55] is a custom on the day before the day of [07:57] atonement for Jews to immerse in a [08:00] ritual bath or in natural water to um to [08:04] it's similar to what Christians do when [08:06] they baptize. It's a Jewish practice of [08:08] immersion. That's really where baptism [08:09] comes from. But it's to purify ourselves [08:12] and it just like people would do when [08:13] they would go to the temple in temple [08:14] times. We do that before Yom Kipur [08:16] before the day of atonement. And the [08:18] father and his eldest son were going to [08:21] immerse and the father was murdered. The [08:24] son survived. The Samaria regional [08:26] council announced on Sunday afternoon [08:28] that Natano Shukran, a resident of [08:29] Allesahab, was murdered in a shooting [08:31] attack at the Enria spring. Shukran, a [08:34] father of six, arrived at the spring on [08:36] Sunday morning with his eldest son to [08:38] immerse ahead of Yamipur. He's survived [08:40] by his wife Mer and their six children. [08:43] The eldest is in 11th grade. The [08:45] youngest is four years old. [08:49] Shukran worked as an information systems [08:51] analyst at Hakshara Insurance Company. [08:54] His wife, Mer Shukrron, is a lecturer at [08:56] Ariel University. The terrorist reached [08:58] the scene by vehicle and opened fire [09:00] toward the spring. Following the attack, [09:02] he exited the vehicle while armed and [09:04] fled on foot. The IDF surrounded the [09:06] village of Dir Nisam. IDF forces from [09:09] the Duvanine unit apprehended the [09:10] terrorist at a hospital in Ramla. after [09:13] several hours of pursuit. That's where [09:16] he went. A hospital in Ramallah. Drones [09:18] and IIAF aircraft also participated in [09:20] the chase. Now, there was also uh it was [09:24] it was reported in Israeli media, in the [09:26] Hebrew language media also that there [09:28] was a that part of how they located this [09:30] terrorist because he ran away. He had [09:32] been shot. There was someone who saw [09:34] what was going on and fired in the [09:35] direction and hit the guy in the leg [09:36] apparently, but he made it to a [09:38] hospital. The way they figured out who [09:40] he was, the way they tracked him was [09:42] that he made a phone call. He excitedly [09:44] called his wife [09:47] to tell her happily that he had murdered [09:49] a Jew. And the Israeli security services [09:54] tracked that call and that's how they [09:57] that's part of how they found him. [10:00] And then we have this this is from [10:02] today. So, Israel's ambassador to the [10:05] United States is named Yakil Lighter and [10:08] his son Narya was uh is in critical [10:12] condition [10:14] um because he was the victim of a [10:17] terrorist attack yesterday. And I should [10:19] also point out that Ambassador Lighter's [10:22] older son [10:24] was killed in battle in this war early [10:27] on in the war after October 7th. So the [10:30] family has suffered greatly and [10:32] ambassador lighter is a wonderful [10:33] person. Uh but here's another terror. [10:36] These are two terrorist attacks from the [10:37] same week that I'm showing you. So let's [10:40] take a look at this. Dr. Alon Schwarz, [10:42] head of the trauma unit at Charisetic [10:44] Medical Center, estimates that Naria [10:45] Lighter's life will not be out of danger [10:48] for at least 24 hours. [10:52] He provided an update to channel 12 on [10:54] the condition of Lighter, an IDF [10:56] reservist seriously injured in a car [10:58] ramming attack yesterday. He says his [11:00] condition is stable, but his life is [11:02] still in danger. He's currently in the [11:03] ICU. He'll stay there for the for the [11:05] coming hours. He's the son of the [11:08] Israeli ambassador to the United States. [11:12] Uh before we go, [11:14] we're going to be visiting Samaria. [11:16] We're going to Judea and Samaria. We're [11:18] going to visit these areas. We're going [11:19] to learn about the security realities on [11:21] the ground. We're going to meet with [11:23] leaders of the communities there. We're [11:25] going to understand the security [11:26] situation. We are going to go up to the [11:29] Lebanese border, the Syrian border, the [11:30] Gaza border. We're going to understand [11:32] these realities. This is all what I'm [11:34] talking about here is an amazing trip to [11:37] Israel that's taking place March 7th [11:39] through 14th. That trip will be led by [11:41] myself together with Dr. David Worms, [11:44] one of the world's leading experts on [11:46] the Middle East. We're going to meet [11:47] with community leaders, military [11:50] leadership, [11:51] uh, uh, prominent members of the Israeli [11:54] government. [11:56] Uh, and we'll be meeting with, uh, with [11:59] leading journalists. It's a five-star [12:02] uh, trip, an exclusive trip. We're going [12:04] to be keeping the number low. It's going [12:05] to be under 20 people on this trip. Very [12:07] intimate. If you think this is for you, [12:10] check out the link in the description of [12:11] this video. This is really a once in [12:13] a-lifetime opportunity. Look, bottom [12:15] line on this video is this. There is [12:18] daily terrorism in Judea and Samaria. [12:21] Um, [12:23] it's there's been an uptick in the last [12:25] year or two. It's getting really bad. We [12:28] see these murders taking place. [12:30] Father of six, the father of six on the [12:34] day before Yom Kipur, the day of [12:35] atonement getting murdered. [12:39] And like I said, moving forward, looking [12:42] when we think about security challenges, [12:45] problems that lie ahead of us, potential [12:48] major conflicts, [12:50] there's going to be a conflict with the [12:52] Palestinian Authority, with their with [12:54] the army that they've built, with this [12:56] terrorist force. Um, and it is the big [13:00] unsolved problem. And there are hundreds [13:02] of thousands of Jews who live in Judea [13:04] and Samaria who are on the front lines [13:06] of this every day and they're being [13:08] endangered. And it is it is a it is a [13:10] great challenge and we need to pray for [13:13] this situation. We need to pray for [13:15] Naria Lighter, Ambassador Lighter's son, [13:17] Naria Lighter. Please pray for him. We [13:20] also have to have our eyes wide open [13:22] that uh Israel security is not just [13:24] about bringing down the Iranian regime [13:26] or solving the Gaza situation. The [13:29] biggest issue we have ahead of us is [13:31] Judea, Samaria, the Palestinian [13:33] Authority, and the terrorism that is in [13:36] that part of uh of the land of Israel. [13:39] All right, that's my update here. I know [13:41] this isn't uh nothing to be happy about [13:43] in this one. It's a short one, but I [13:45] just wanted to put this out there and [13:47] make sure that this is that we don't [13:48] forget about this issue because no one [13:50] else is talking about the terrorism [13:52] against Jews in Judea and Samaria. [13:54] They're talking about it in Israeli [13:55] media, but you don't hear it out there. [13:56] So, please share this video. Please talk [13:59] to other people about what's actually [14:01] happening in in Israel and about how the [14:04] uh there is just ongoing murderous [14:06] terrorism taking place against Jews in [14:09] the historic homeland and the heartland [14:11] of the Jewish people in Judea and [14:13] Samaria. It's happening every day. Uh [14:15] and that's the real terrorism going on [14:18] in the territories in in uh it's not [14:22] it's not Jewish terrorism. That is not [14:25] the real story. [14:26] All right, folks. Thanks a lot for [14:28] watching. God bless. Make sure you're [14:29] subscribed. Make sure you drop a [14:31] comment. Let me know what you thought of [14:32] this one. And please pray.
