Fence upgrades in Samaria

New fence and posts installed, with razorwire positioned ready to be fastened to the top.

 

Next day, concrete to secure the door, and razorwire has been mounted on this section.

 

Left: the old razorwire that was not installed, since someone realized it was the lesser quality metal (2 yrs lifespan). Right: The shiny improved metal (10 yrs lifespan) fence material. It’s stronger than chainlink which we had up until 3 years ago.

No security system is 100%. My forefinger points to the metal clips which would provide an opening if removed; my thumb points to the wire which, if cut, would release the fencing from its post.

Beyond this security fence, there is a “no man’s land” empty area which is bordered on the Arab side with another security fence.  They would first need to get across that fence, then get thru the empty area, to reach our fence.  This side, with simple metal fencing with patrol roads, is on the side where no Arab village is immediately close by.

Over on the other side, with greater proximity comes greater protection – and there, the security fence is made of stone, concrete, very very tall, with electronics inside the wall, and various sensors.  Again, not 100%, but that’s the level of fencing that’s needed near where the Arab town population is centered.

Send back the body of Ran Gvili

Some say Hamas is just using cynical delay tactics, as they certainly have many times before.

Others say that this time they really do have a hard time locating his body.

Either way, I’m wearing my “tie a yellow ribbon” dogtags until Ran Gvili’s family has a proper burial.

Here’s his photo:

IDF: “On Oct. 7, Ran Gvili left scheduled surgery to go to the rescue of dozens fleeing the Nova festival. He was eventually killed by Hamas & kidnapped into Gaza.

“Ran is still held hostage. Ran deserves a dignified funeral at home🕯️Hamas not returning his body is a ceasefire violation.”

Guest post: David Guzik on Israel in Prophecy

Israel, 1948: Fulfilled Prophecy or Forced Agenda? | David Guzik

“Was the rebirth of Israel in 1948 a stunning fulfillment of ancient prophecy—or simply a product of modern politics? In this video, Pastor David Guzik explores what the Bible really says about the return of the Jewish people to their land. Drawing from Scripture and history, he unpacks whether this moment in time was foretold long ago, fulfilled by the return from Babylon, or is only partially fulfilled. Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or just curious—this conversation is worth your attention.”

Day 795: Antisemitism falsehoods did not quit yet

Influential professor made a bunch of blunders:

Gazans claim less than 70,000 have died, but this professor claims “hundreds and hundreds of thousands.”

Professor Abdullah is a political activist in the US, at the California State University.

The article highlights all of the mistakes made by Prof. Abdallah, who, unsurprisingly, did not respond to requests for comment.

Liars always lie and evade questions.

Day 794: IDF raids Arab weapons storage in Samaria

Arabs responded with car ramming at soldiers and stone throwing at civilians near Azun, near Nablus, both of which resulted in more Palestinian arrests and deaths.

Judea and Samaria are part of a an ongoing multi-front war, alongside the borders with Lebanon and Syria, and the border with Gaza.  Current US and Israeli laws have determined that these areas will no longer be labeled as West Bank in official documentation, but by their historically accurate names: Judea and Samaria.

Day 790: How did Alon Ohel survive THAT for 2 years?!

They chained him, starved him, and sexually harassed him.

Captured on 4 Dec 2025 from Times of Israel.

The terrorists showed him a TV of the Israelis protesting in Hostage Square in Tel Aviv (I filmed a video from there).

Someone held his picture. His family put a yellow piano there. (The color of remembering hostages; The Israelis don’t know the connection, but this comes directly from the song “Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round the Ol’ Oak Tree.”)

That’s what gave him strength to live on – just to NOT LET THEM DOWN.

The remains of one of the Thai hostages, Sudthisak Rinthalak, just came back to Israel, and identified forensically as belonging to him.  If he had seen a TV, I doubt he would have much chance of seeing anyone in Hostage Square holding his photo.  His brother in Thailand feels guilty now for encouraging Sudthisak to come to Israel for work as a farm laborer.

Nova party survivor Shir Zohar outran Hamas: now closer to The Creator

“A bullet flew past my head — it blew off my cap.” On October 7th, Shir Zohar looked up and saw missiles filling the sky — then five Hamas terrorists in IDF uniforms.

In seconds, her friend hit the gas. Bullets tore through their windshield. One missed Shir by inches. Then a stranger, Ori Arad, appeared — calm, fearless.

“Don’t worry girls. I’ll get you out of here,” he said.

He saved their lives — and gave his own. This is Shir’s story: of terror, survival, and finding God in the fire.
