These 2 guys in Lod volunteered themselves to patrol the streets last night to protect the Jewish residents there. Community security is as important if people are trained, possibly armed and if not armed then at least to be a watchful eye who can report suspicious behaviour to the police.

Another guy who escaped with his life last night during the terrorist attack in Bnei Brak. The shooters gun jammed and he was spared. This is the second situation where it happened and so 2 lives were spared for sure, perhaps many others.

This is the body cam footage of the police locating and eliminating the terrorist in Bnei Brak last night. Unfortunately the driver of the police bike, Sergeant Amir Khoury, was the one who absorbed the M-16 bullet that hit him and he died there but the guy behind him was the one who killed the terrorist.

This shows you how fast their reaction time was once they got the call, to locate and eliminate him.

Here is a post about the cop who died: https://www.facebook.com/ugobey/posts/10166432842825441

Noam Shalit, the father of Gilad Shalit (who was kidnapped by Hamas for 5 years in Gaza), has passed away from a serious illness. The pain and suffering him and his wife went through from their son's capture is just unbearable.

May the family find peace and know no more grief.

This is a pic of Noam and myself. I met him back in 2010 while I was documenting the massive Gilad Shalit protests and marches around the country. I actually joined the final march with over 100,000 people to document it all the way to Jerusalem. At the time I had no fixed opinion on it, my purpose was to document it and experience the biggest protest and march that Israel has ever had in it's history, all for one soldier.

I wrote my very mixed thoughts about that situation on this post here in 2019: https://www.facebook.com/ugobey/posts/10162048186935441

Out of respect for the deceased, I ask you not to give your negative opinion in the comments here. Thanks!

A Magav special police unit including undercover operators arrested 9 suspects in the illegal trade of weapons and drugs in the Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria envelopes. A search of the suspects' homes turned up weapons, including M-16 rifles, cartridges and ammunition. As the forces left the area, a number of terrorists began throwing stones at the forces, who responded by using means to disperse demonstrations. The suspects were taken for questioning.
