Israel’s enemies repeatedly call Israel an occupier of Judea and Samaria, although the Jews are indigenous to the land. Given the jihad against it, Israel needs to expand its presence in Judea and Samaria even more in order to preserve its state. At the end of February, the IDF discovered Hamas plans for a mass jihad attack in Judea, Samaria and central Israel. And in mid-February, an Israeli brigadier general warned that released jihadi prisoners would wage jihad and build militias in Judea and Samaria.

The jihad against Israel is from all sides. Israel must act decisively.

“Israelis arrested for moving millions from Turkey marked for West Bank terror,” Jerusalem Post, April 10, 2025:

Israeli civilians transferred millions of shekels from Hamas’s Turkish arm to the West Bank as part of an underground terror financing network, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) and Israel Police announced on Thursday following the arrests of the six Arab Israeli citizens allegedly involved in the funding ring.

The Israeli Arabs were arrested last month on suspicion of involvement in transferring funds on behalf of Turkish officials to terror infrastructure in the West Bank, after a joint investigation by the Cyber Unit of Lahav 433-National Crime Unit and the Shin Bet.

One of the alleged network leaders, Fadi Ara’bi, 33, from Arava in the Galilee, reportedly established a money transfer route with his brother, Nassim Ara’bi, who lives in Turkey. He is also a partner of Wajdi Saadi, 41, originally from Jenin. Saadi has reportedly served as a key figure in the transfer of the West Bank to terrorist organizations.

Smuggling funds into the West Bank
The cash was reportedly brought into the West Bank during multiple trips in 2024, aided and abetted allegedly by William and Sami Khana, a father and son from Nazareth, who were recruited to act as money couriers.

The operation later grew to allegedly include Mahmad Aziziamd [sic] Adam Doulani, 41-year-old 30-year-old residents of Acre.

It is believed the network smuggled over three million shekels to promote terrorism against Israel…..
