1,000 new housing units to be built in Eli in response to deadly shooting attack

 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich today (Wednesday) agreed on the immediate promotion of the planning of approximately 1,000 new housing units in the settlement of Eli in Binyamin, a day after terrorists murdered four civilians in a shooting attack at a gas station and restaurant just outside the community.

Gallant, Smotrich and Netanyahu said in a joint announcement by the Prime Minister's Office that "our response to terrorism is to hit it hard and build on our land."

National Missions Orit Strock (Religious Zionism party) welcomed the announcement: "1000 more Jewish families in the place where Jewish lives were cut short. Every terrorist must know that this was the Zionist price tag for murdering Jews. In the place from where they try to uproot us - there we will deepen our roots. Not instead of eliminating the terrorists, not instead of the checkpoints, and not instead of drying up the terror swamp. But absolutely, as a necessary and clear Zionist step.''

Gush Etzion Mayor and Yesha Council Chairman Shlomo Ne’eman also praised the announcement, saying: “To those who wish us harm, know that we are here to stay.”

Ne’eman added: “We thank Prime Minister Netanyahu, Defense Minister Gallant and Finance Minister Smotrich for a proper Zionist answer. Terrorism will not defeat us. We will continue to live and flourish in the land of our ancestors."

Not all were happy with the government's response. Binyamin Regional Council chairman Yisrael Gantz moved his office to the scene of yesterday's attack in protest against the government's security policies. Gantz said: "We must return to an uncompromising offensive policy, enter the nests of terror and strike at the heads of the snakes there. The government should lead this policy and direct the IDF and the security system to formulate an immediate operational plan."

"The government of Israel is responsible for the security of its citizens and it is its duty to launch an attack and not wait, God forbid, for more casualties and for the terrorists to continue to strengthen. We will do our duty in establishing the settlement. We will develop a lively and happy life here in the heart of the Land of Israel," he said.

Meanwhile, the four victims of yesterday's attack were laid to rest overnight Tuesday and Wednesday.

The victims were identified as Harel Masoud, a 21-year-old resident of Yad Binyamin; Elisha Antman, a 18-year-old resident of Eli; Ofer Fairman, a 63-year-old resident of Eli; and Nachman Shmuel Mordoff, a 15-year-old resident of Ahiya.


Hunter Biden won’t be charged with money laundering, bribery or trafficking after ‘slap on the wrist’ plea deal

 

Hunter Biden appears to have ducked other possible charges — including money laundering, bribery and human trafficking — as part of a plea agreement he entered into with federal prosecutors that is likely to result in him serving no jail time.

The president’s 53-year-old son will plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts of failing to pay his federal income taxes on at least $3 million he earned from overseas business dealings, and he will participate in a pretrial diversion arrangement for a felony firearms charge after he lied about his drug use on a gun purchasing form in 2018.

However, court filings revealing the deal make no mention of more serious charges Hunter’s laptop indicates he exposed himself to.

Nachman, Elisha, Harel & Ofer were murdered in deadly attack

 

The names of the four victims of Tuesday's terrorist shooting attack near Eli have been cleared for publication.

One victim was identified as Harel Masoud, a 21-year-old resident of Yad Binyamin. Another was named as Elisha Antman, a 17-year-old resident of Eli. A third was identified as Ofer Fairman, a 60-year-old resident of Eli. The fourth was identified as Nachman Shmuel Mordoff, a 17-year-old resident of Ahiya.

The Nahal Sorek Regional Council said in a statement: "It is with a heavy heart and great pain, we were informed at this moment that in the severe attack that took place today in the settlement of Eli, Harel Masoud, a resident of Yad Binyamin, was murdered. Harel is the son of Gil and Yael Masoud, and was only 21 years old at the time of his murder."

Council head Shai Reichner said: "There are no words to express the shock and pain we are feeling right now. I and the entire Nahal Sorek community grieve with the Masoud family for this terrible disaster, share in their unimaginable grief and embrace the family."

Yakrat Friedman, a friend of the family, called Harel a "golden child" he "loved so much. He loved the Land of Israel and its people. He had just been released from combat service and dreamed of settling this land and worked to fulfill his dream together with his friends."

The community of Eli released a statement which reads: "It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Elisha Antman, who was murdered in today's attack, a resident of the Neve neighborhood in Eli. We share in the family's grief."

Two terrorists committed the deadly attack. The terrorists drove up to a gas station and restaurant near Eli and opened fire, killing four people. A civilian shot and neutralized one of the terrorists. The second terrorist escaped and was found and eliminated by security forces after a two-hour search.

Likud MK Danny Danon called for the launching of a major military operation to destroy terrorist infrastructure in Judea and Samaria following the attack.

'We demand a military operation in Judea and Samaria now. Not later. Now is the time to strike hard and fast. I call on our Prime Minister to order a large-scale military operation and immediately reinstate the security barriers that were removed. The people of Israel are united and support the government, the army and our internal security services in the realization of this urgent program which will save countless innocent lives," Danon said.

4 murdered in terrorist shooting attack in Eli

 

At least four people were murdered in a terrorist shooting attack at a gas station near the city of Eli in the Binyamin region Tuesday afternoon.

The IDF stated that one or two terrorists approached the gas station in a vehicle and opened fire, moderately injuring a security guard. The terrorists then opened fire at a restaurant and shot a further five people.

An armed civilian shot and neutralized the terrorist. However, security forces have not ruled out the possibility that a second shooter escaped the scene and are conducting searches of the area.

Magen David Adom (MDA) EMTs and Paramedics are evacuating two victims in critical condition, including a 20-year-old male to Shaare Tzedek Medical Center and a 38-year-old male to Beilinson Hospital. Four further victims, including three who are unconscious, were treated at the scene.

United Hatzalah volunteer paramedics Aviah Chaim and Yoni Rosenfeld said: "Unfortunately four people were pronounced dead following resuscitation attempts that were unsuccessful. In addition, we provided initial treatment to four more people who suffered from gunshot wounds. Due to the nature of the incident, United Hatzalah's Psychotrauma and Crisis Response Unit also treated a number of people for emotional shock."

A helicopter has been dispatched to Eli.

An alarm was activated in Eli amidst concerns that a second shooter fled the scene. Residents have been advised to remain in their homes until further notice.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant is being briefed on the details of the attack and receiving updates on the efforts to apprehend the attackers. Minister Gallant will hold an operational situation assessment this evening at 6 pm tonight, together with the IDF Chief of the General Staff, Director of the Shin Bet and additional senior officials in Israel’s defense establishment.

Chareidim Protesting Light Rain Now Putting their Children on the Front Lines Just Like the Arabs!

 

Army army army! The children should be taken away and put up in foster care in Dati Leumi homes and their fathers drafted into the army!

Hundreds of extremist chareidi elements demonstrated Sunday night at the light rail construction site in Bar Ilan street in Jerusalem. Some of the demonstrators rioted, set fire to infrastructure and blocked the street, causing huge traffic delays in the north of Jerusalem.

Police were forced to drag away little children who participated in blocking the road. The police later said that “tonight too protesters cynically exploited little children to participate in the rioting and disturbing the peace. Many of the rioters called the police Nazis as well.”

During the course of what has become a regular protest, the protesters started to disturb the public order, blocking roads, throwing stones at police and damaging infrastructure related to the light rail work. Police arrested one person suspected of torching a fence at the work site.

After the road was blocked for neary two hours, police succeeded in clearing the road with the help of Border Police reinforcements.

Traitor Ehud Barak Agreed to Give Up Part of Har Habayit, Old City of Jerusalem.... State Archives Reveal

 

The Barak administration agreed to give up part of Israel’s sovereignty in the Old City of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount in December 2000, according to an official response to a Clinton administration proposal published for the first time by the Israel State Archives on Sunday.

Israel agreed to relinquish its sovereignty over the area of ​​the mosques on the Temple Mount, Ynet reported.

Among the comments written in Hebrew in the margins of the Clinton administration proposal: “de facto division of sovereignty on the Temple Mount.”

Israel demanded continued sovereignty over the Western Wall, the Western Wall tunnel, the Makhkame building overlooking the Temple Mount, the Siloam Tunnel (aka Hezekiah’s Tunnel), the City of David and the Mount of Olives.

Charedi man who served in IDF confronts secular woman who accused him of not serving

 


A video of the response by Hirsch to the woman’s verbal abuse has gone viral on social media and across the internet.

“Yisrael Yehonatan Hirsch, the People of Israel cherish you, embrace you and love you,” Ohana wrote in a tweet. “The antisemitism you experienced has no place in any country in the world, least of all in the national home of the Jewish People, the State of Israel.

“It is my privilege to invite you to be my guest of honor, together with your family or whomever you choose, and I hope you will accept the invitation,” Ohana added.

In the video, Hirsch – who now serves as a reservist after having fulfilled his tour of duty as an Israeli soldier — is seen responding to the heckler, who accused him of not serving in the army. In fact, not only did Hirsch serve, but so did his father before him, as confirmed by Israeli journalist and politician Yinon Magal.

“Why are you jumping to the conclusion that I didn’t serve in the army?” Hirsch asked his heckler in the video. “Because I’m wearing a yarmulka and a white shirt?”

The woman answered “yes.”

Hirsch replied, “You cannot go around judging people.”

In response, the woman complained, “You need to go to the army just like my brothers did.”

“I did go to the army, and likely for a longer time than you did,” Hirsch replied heatedly. “I am a captain in the reserves.”

Clearly surprised, the woman demanded to know why Hirsch wears a yarmulka if he served in the army.

“It is my faith, and it is my right to do so,” he answered. “It’s unbelievable that every time I ride the bus in Hod Hasharon, the city where I live, I get harassed like this.”


Violent Protests Continue Against "Light Rail" Despite their Rebbe Being Opposed to it!

 


The Toldos Avraham Yitzchok Rebbe, who is the leader of practically all the protests in Yerushalyim, told the mayor of Yerushalyim last week, that after hearing the "other side" he is against the Light Rail protests,  but since his followers having nothing to do all day, they totally ignored him and continued with their futile war against the light rail. 

The protestors don't really care either way about the light rail  and certainly don't care about their rebbe. This is all for their own amusement and entertainment and for looking forward to being manhandled by a lady cop. 

I would draft them all to the army, at least there they would have something to do!
