[00:00:00] He drove a relatively short distance [00:00:03] and at least the understanding right now is that he escaped [00:00:06] on foot, escaped on foot from the area. There [00:00:09] is currently an attempt to close [00:00:12] a circle. We can say that forces have been scrambled, [00:00:16] including Air Force vehicles, including [00:00:19] aircraft of the "Zik" type, which can [00:00:23] also provide a view from above and also [00:00:26] carry out an attack with precise ammunition in this situation. [00:00:30] And there are also reinforcement platoons being scrambled [00:00:33] right now to the Binyamin area, to the Nof Tzuf area, as part of the pursuit [00:00:37] and roadblocks. There are also fighters from the Duvdevan [00:00:40] unit. A lot of forces are currently being scrambled [00:00:43] to the scene of the attack to close the circle as quickly as possible [00:00:47] on the terrorist. And yes, if [00:00:49] at first there were attempts to understand whether it was a cell [00:00:53] or a single terrorist, then currently the understanding, also [00:00:57] based on footage of the terrorist's [00:01:00] car, is that it was one terrorist who, as mentioned, [00:01:04] got out of the car, shot, entered, fled, [00:01:07] and currently they are trying to understand [00:01:18] you reported, it is indeed one attacker, [00:01:20] in a critical condition, [00:01:23] in the current stage, being evacuated [00:01:26] to Beilinson Hospital by Magen David Adom teams [00:01:30] exclusively. Uh, searches are still being carried out [00:01:34] in the area where the injured [00:01:36] person was found, shot. [00:01:39] We hope, as we [00:01:43] see that, Eli, we're talking about one injured person, one casualty [00:01:47] in the attack, in the incident. Yes, at the current stage we are reporting one casualty, [00:01:50] as I said, in critical condition being evacuated at the [00:01:54] current stage to Beilinson Hospital [00:01:57] in Petah Tikva. You know, tell us about [00:02:00] the scene, where was the injured person when he [00:02:03] was shot? We are again saying with [00:02:07] great caution, the injured person was shot [00:02:10] most likely in his car, uh, we, uh, he was in his [00:02:13] car, we still, this is at least the [00:02:17] initial report we received, we will of course wait [00:02:21] for reports from the additional security forces that are there, but [00:02:24] the initial report received at the center was [00:02:28] an injured person or a casualty, more precisely. [00:02:30] In very serious condition, when we arrived he was already in [00:02:33] critical condition. [00:02:35] Uh, and as mentioned, we evacuated him to Beilinson [00:02:39] Hospital in Petah Tikva. We are talking about an incident [00:02:42] that happened in the last hour, how quickly [00:02:46] did you manage to get to the injured person from the moment [00:02:49] you were reported about the shooting? [00:02:52] We deploy systematically [00:02:55] and optimally throughout the country, mainly because of Yom [00:02:59] Kippur. Also in Judea and Samaria and also [00:03:02] in other places on the northern border and in all [00:03:05] communities there is a very very wide deployment, [00:03:08] a very very heightened alert [00:03:12] due to the holiday, but we are definitely also alert [00:03:15] to situations of popular terrorism [00:03:18] that could occur at any moment, not only because [00:03:21] of other cautionary developments, and therefore [00:03:25] they understood the forces, we established a situation room together with the Israel Police [00:03:28] and other bodies. [00:03:33] Of course, to beef up all our [00:03:57] us what's happening there now? Uh, currently, [00:04:00] broadly speaking, uh, the injured person [00:04:04] has been evacuated. Uh, [00:04:07] currently there is no information about where [00:04:10] the terrorist [00:04:13] is. Uh, in the care of [00:04:16] the army, we have one injured person, critical, suffering from penetrating [00:04:20] wounds, evacuated [00:04:23] to the hospital. [00:04:25] How quickly did you get to the scene? Seven [00:04:29] minutes from the moment the call came out until I was [00:04:32] there. And around when you see [00:04:35] the unfolding events, uh, do you understand that there's only one injured person or does it [00:04:39] seem like there might be something bigger there? In the initial [00:04:43] stage, we didn't know how many injured people there were because there was a lot of chaos and mess [00:04:47] around. [00:04:48] Uh, [00:04:52] as soon as we started to get clearer [00:04:56] information, we understood that one person was injured. [00:05:00] And a few more trauma [00:05:01] victims. [00:05:05] Is there something more complex, more difficult when you arrive, you [00:05:09] are with United Hatzalah, like all emergency forces. [00:05:12] Required for many types of scenes, a terror [00:05:15] attack scene, uh, certainly, this is one of the [00:05:18] more difficult scenes that you, uh, arrive at? [00:05:22] Uh, yes, very naturally, [00:05:25] it's not a normal scene [00:05:28] that we deal with every day, uh, a complex [00:05:32] scene, a scene that also has danger because we still don't have [00:05:35] the terrorist caught and [00:05:38] uh, nonetheless we need to arrive to provide. Yehuda [00:06:08] that it is, according to everyone's estimates, one terrorist. [00:06:12] And at least we also have details about the location of the attack. [00:06:16] That terrorist arrived in his car, a car [00:06:20] whose picture we have already seen of a red [00:06:23] Mitsubishi Lancer. He stood [00:06:27] outside the car, and opened fire at [00:06:31] that spring near Nof Tzuf. There were [00:06:34] Israelis there who were bathing in the water. After he [00:06:38] carried out the shooting, he fled on foot from the [00:06:42] place. This contradicts the previous [00:06:45] information that was available immediately after the attack, that he fled [00:06:48] on foot towards the nearby Palestinian village [00:06:52] of Deir Nidham. Currently there is a cordon [00:06:55] that has begun on several Palestinian villages, [00:06:59] villages that are located near [00:07:02] Deir Nidham, Ein Sinia, and Atara. [00:07:06] Currently these places are being cordoned off. There are also [00:07:09] roadblocks. But the terrorist who fled [00:07:12] on foot has a relatively [00:07:15] short amount of time until someone might [00:07:19] choose to hide him in their home. [00:07:23] And therefore there is a race against time. They will eventually get to him, [00:07:26] but the sooner they get to him, the sooner [00:07:29] they can prevent him from carrying out [00:07:33] additional attacks. He is a terrorist who carried out an attack and he is [00:07:37] armed, so they need to get to him as quickly as possible. So a lot of [00:07:40] forces, including Duvdevan unit fighters, [00:07:43] are currently being scrambled to the scene of the attack and also [00:07:47] to the nearby villages. Itay, when a cordon is imposed, and we are [00:07:50] talking about imposing a cordon on several [00:07:53] villages, is this something that can last for several hours, [00:07:57] maybe even longer? Yes, high, but yes, of course, [00:08:00] in the past terrorists who managed [00:08:03] to disappear for long days, but eventually they get [00:08:06] to him. Eventually they get to everyone. Eventually in Judea and Samaria [00:08:10] there are also informants who are relatively [00:08:13] good. There is activity, there is almost full freedom of action [00:08:17] for the security forces, unlike [00:08:19] what we have seen in the past, even inside the Palestinian refugee [00:08:23] camps, the strongholds of terrorism in recent [00:08:26] years, today the IDF operates there almost [00:08:28] freely, both in Jenin and in the two camps in the Tulkarem [00:08:32] area, and in fact this area [00:08:35] in Binyamin which is under the security responsibility of [00:08:38] the IDF, it is likely that they will get to him sooner or later, but they want [00:08:42] to get to him as soon as possible to [00:08:45] actually prevent him from carrying out another [00:08:49] attack. So as we said, the terrorist fled [00:08:52] on foot from the scene of the attack, and when he fled on foot, that means [00:08:56] he is relatively in the area itself. Just to put [00:09:00] an asterisk, as long as no one is helping him and no one is taking him to another place, [00:09:03] in another car, currently the main challenge is [00:09:07] to get there before he receives assistance from someone local [00:09:10] who decides to hide him in their home. So currently there are [00:09:13] also cordons and roadblocks. We will see [00:09:17] in the coming hours despite our holy Yom Kippur, Itay, besides [00:09:21] the possibility that someone may have assisted the terrorist at some [00:09:24] stage, we are only talking about one attacker who is currently being [00:09:28] hunted. Correct, correct, it is, [00:09:31] it is one terrorist, [00:09:35] yes, one terrorist who carried out this attack, the shooting attack, the shooting [00:09:38] attack, and Magen David Adom will correct us further, [00:09:42] that the injured person, in his 30s, was evacuated [00:09:46] in very serious condition to the hospital. They restored [00:09:49] the pulse of the injured person at the scene and evacuated [00:09:53] him, as the CEO of Magen David [00:09:57] Adom, Eli Bin, told us, [00:10:00] he is being evacuated to Beilinson Hospital [00:10:03] in Petah Tikva, while the forces also manage to arrive, [00:10:07] the rescue forces, the emergency forces, [00:10:10] manage to arrive. Within minutes [00:10:14] at the scene, and evacuate [00:10:16] the injured person, [00:10:19] they are now reporting to us from Magen David Adom that they saw him [00:10:22] in the car, the ... [00:10:30] They took him out of the car and immediately began to provide him with medical [00:10:33] treatment and resuscitation, and as mentioned, he got [00:10:37] into an ambulance and was evacuated to Beilinson Hospital [00:10:40] in Petah Tikva. Still, as mentioned, they are fighting [00:10:43] for his life, trying to stabilize [00:10:46] his condition. And again, the manhunt, as [00:10:50] we mentioned earlier, the manhunt for the terrorist continues, along with [00:10:54] the cordons that the IDF is carrying out on Palestinian [00:10:58] villages in this area, cordons that can [00:11:02] last anywhere from several hours to even longer [00:11:06] periods of time, and all this, Itay, amidst [00:11:09] the already high state of alert that the security [00:11:12] forces had ahead of Yom [00:11:15] Kippur. Right, there is an alert [00:11:18] and also warnings that have been in place in recent years [00:11:21] almost every Yom Kippur before the holidays. [00:11:25] Terror, meaning it's not something that should be unusual or [00:11:28] different. Do you remember the previous Yom Kippur, [00:11:32] we also dealt with something else that bothered us, which was [00:11:35] the global flotilla of solidarity to the Gaza Strip. In recent [00:11:39] years, despite Yom Kippur and despite the holy day, [00:11:42] our enemies try to find [00:11:45] things for us to deal with, security matters, and also [00:11:48] attacks. We saw it just about 40 minutes ago. [00:11:52] Last year it was a flotilla to Gaza in the midst [00:11:55] of the holy day, when Navy Seal Unit 13 [00:11:59] had to carry out boardings at sea on Yom Kippur, meaning the holidays [00:12:03] are also a trigger for our enemies, for [00:12:06] terrorists, for terror organizations, in order [00:12:08] to harm us spiritually as well, not just physically, [00:12:12] and that is exactly their goal ahead of Yom [00:12:16] Kippur this year. This is also why they [00:12:19] perhaps went to the spring, at least currently [00:12:22] according to the MDA update, that injured person, the man, around 30, [00:12:26] was in his car outside the spring near [00:12:30] ah, actually Nof Tzuf. They took him out of there and he [00:12:33] is currently being treated on the way to the [00:12:35] hospital. His pulse has returned, [00:12:39] which is the important thing. We hope that he will indeed [00:12:43] recover from this truly severe injury. We wish him a [00:13:11] with my wife, who is also a paramedic, we saw [00:13:14] a man in his 30s, shot in all [00:13:17] parts of his body, sitting in a car. [00:13:21] Uh, we took him out, together with [00:13:24] IDF forces who were at the scene, and began to perform advanced [00:13:27] resuscitation on him. You said you arrived there with your wife [00:13:31] who is also a paramedic. Were you on duty or were you [00:13:34] No, we were at home in the middle of caring for the children. You were [00:13:37] at home, absolutely. And my wife also went out for the evacuation right now with [00:13:41] the community ambulance, while efforts were being made for resuscitation together with another [00:13:44] doctor and the community ambulance team. [00:13:47] This, I assume, also has some complexity because [00:13:51] it is Yom Kippur, uh, the eve of Yom Kippur. [00:13:56] Absolutely, also an emotional complexity. We [00:13:59] the name Yom Kippur reminds us of too many bad things, [00:14:03] and we want Yom Kippur to be a good day of forgiveness, atonement [00:14:07] and repentance, a white day, a good day, [00:14:10] unfortunately, our enemies choose to carry out attacks precisely on these [00:14:13] important days. Yes. [00:14:16] Uh, and this, and this is the situation we are reporting [00:14:20] and reporting about an injured person, in very [00:14:23] serious condition, uh, that 30-year-old man [00:14:27] who is being evacuated from the scene to Beilinson [00:14:30] Hospital, when you arrive at [00:14:33] that point, when you arrive at the scene, you give him the [00:14:36] initial treatment, [00:14:39] you actually performed resuscitation on him there to restore [00:14:43] his pulse as well. We performed advanced resuscitation procedures on him, which included [00:14:47] ventilation, advanced, and we connected [00:14:50] him to blood products that we received from the army, what is called [00:14:54] plasma. Because [00:14:57] he suffered from very severe bleeding and with multiple [00:15:32] did you approach the other people who were there? [00:15:35] Uh, to be honest, I didn't immediately interact with the rest [00:15:38] of the people. I was more with the injured person until the moment [00:15:42] of evacuation. And due to the complexity of the scene and because the [00:15:46] terrorist has not yet been caught, ideally for us, once [00:15:49] we finished, we left the scene so as not to expose ourselves, God forbid, [00:16:17] Yes. So we already have two emergency services personnel, both from Magen David Adom and United [00:16:20] Hatzalah, and both report that he was most likely injured while he was in the car, maybe he [00:16:24] had just come out of the spring. We, this picture will certainly [00:16:27] become clear later. I remind you again, Carmela, this is a developing [00:16:30] event happening right now. Yes, [00:16:33] the event is unfolding and the main thing that the security forces are doing. [00:16:50] The security forces are on their way [00:16:53] to the village or the village is part [00:16:56] of a routine. The main thing is indeed [00:16:59] that the security forces have been operating so [00:17:03] intensively in recent weeks [00:17:06] and months. In fact, [00:17:16] of those [00:17:20] of the Shin Bet, of the IDF, of the police who fail [00:17:23] to reach those terrorists beforehand. There is no doubt [00:17:26] that either they are on their way to the terrorist and his [00:17:30] family, or they will reach him. They reach all those [00:17:33] terrorists and those attackers. There is [00:17:36] no. Here, this is not a question. The question [00:17:39] is, how much do they need to detect, to thwart first, if they had [00:17:43] any warnings, there was any suspicion, or [00:17:47] if this is indeed a lone terrorist who drove [00:17:50] his car, planned on the eve of Yom Kippur, to carry out an attack. [00:17:54] Right, but it's clear that this is someone who planned it in advance, [00:17:58] who went out with a weapon in his hand and took advantage of [00:18:00] an opportunity, looked for an opportunity. And it's a pity that he knew [00:18:04] that people come to this spring to bathe on the eve of Yom Kippur, yes. On the eve of [00:18:07] Yom Kippur, he knew they were coming to bathe, yes, or [00:18:11] he planned to go to a place where there is [00:18:14] a group of people [00:18:17] and attack. This is their [00:18:20] usual modus operandi, but the real concern [00:18:23] is indeed that if a terrorist opens [00:18:27] fire at [00:18:29] that group [00:18:33] and continues, the question is where does he continue to, and if it will be possible to stop [00:18:37] him before, God forbid, he will try [00:18:41] to carry out another attack. [00:18:44] As you say, as you say, he is currently [00:18:47] roaming around, most likely with near certainty, [00:18:51] currently roaming around armed on the roads there [00:18:54] in the area? [00:18:56] The current picture, yes, is a camel against those who need to stop him [00:19:00] when you have a weapon. The concern is that [00:19:03] caution is greater, but there is no [00:19:07] way he won't be caught, but again, the goal of [00:19:10] the Shin Bet is to stop those attackers [00:19:14] beforehand. Carmela, what we are seeing on the screen now, that red [00:19:18] car in which the terrorist is presumably roaming, [00:19:21] was roaming. Maybe we don't know where it is now, but these are images [00:19:25] that were filmed from the scene of [00:19:27] the attack, and he is roaming there currently armed. [00:19:31] Yes, you know, I'm thinking about how the Shin Bet, and Shin Bet personnel always [00:19:34] say this, that we can thwart dozens [00:19:37] of attacks, dozens of attacks with intensive, prolonged [00:19:41] and brave work, but a single terrorist who is very [00:19:44] difficult, it could be that no one had any indication at all that he would go out for [00:19:47] this event, we couldn't stop him, and then an attack occurred, [00:19:51] or is it, wait, Carmela, paramedic David [00:19:55] Trachtenberg joins us, please stay with me, hello to you, [00:19:58] hello, you're talking to Liat and also to Carmela, hello Liat, [00:20:02] hello Carmela, good afternoon, a difficult, difficult [00:20:06] day. You are also the one who arrived at the scene? I was [00:20:09] the first medical force to arrive at the scene, uh, me [00:20:13] and my wife, both paramedics, we left the house, [00:20:16] we saw a man in his 30s, sitting in a car with multiple [00:20:20] gunshot wounds, with the help of the soldiers who were at the scene, we took him out, laid him down and began [00:20:24] to perform advanced resuscitation on him. You [00:20:27] say you left the house, meaning you, you live in Nof Tzuf? We live [00:20:31] in Nof Tzuf, yes, we are both on-call in the community team here, I work [00:20:34] for MDA. How did you get the alert? [00:20:41] A general alert of hearing gunshots, at first it wasn't clear at all that there were [00:20:45] casualties. You heard the sounds at home? [00:20:48] No, so you just went out? You went there on foot, did you drive there? No, [00:20:52] we drove, we drove in the car. What can you tell us as a resident of Nof [00:20:55] Tzuf about, about this experience? The eve of Yom Kippur, not just [00:20:59] as a paramedic, but also as a person who lives in this place, and Nof Tzuf has unfortunately [00:21:02] experienced severe attacks. [00:21:05] It's not simple, because Nof Tzuf is not really in the depth [00:21:09] of the territory, and also the systems don't [00:21:11] treat it as a very threatened community. But unfortunately, we have experienced here [00:21:15] in the last decade very severe attacks, also [00:21:18] the severe attack on the Salomon family about 10 years ago, also a very severe [00:21:22] arson that happened here about a bit more [00:21:25] than a decade ago. Uh, the sense of security, all in all, is [00:21:29] high. The army is doing a very, very good job here, [00:21:33] and it's hard to accept on a day like this, on the eve of Yom Kippur, [00:21:36] which is supposed to be such an elevated and special [00:21:40] day, to receive such difficult news. [00:21:43] David, you know, when you went down there, you [00:21:47] say there was an injured person sitting in the car and there were other [00:21:50] people in the area, right? There were, there were bathers there, it's a spring [00:21:53] that was built in memory of Ben. Uh, it's Lieutenant [00:21:57] Colonel Ben Basat who was killed in the war, a very beautiful [00:22:01] spring that was renovated in his memory, there are usually bathers there on [00:22:04] Fridays and Saturdays, and all year round, many, [00:22:07] many bathers, people were very , very scared, there were many [00:22:11] bathers there, teenagers, families, young people, [00:22:14] uh, they were extremely scared, uh, not [00:22:18] a simple experience, yes, and I [00:22:32] out of the spring and was in the car on his way to somewhere, something like that, or [00:22:36] he arrived or he left, it's not entirely clear, yes, but he was prepared with [00:22:39] the car positioned on the road, and apparently [00:22:42] the terrorist was the first [00:23:20] It's really very difficult. We want [00:23:23] to live our lives in routine, in security, in a normal [00:23:27] and safe way, and all the time we receive [00:23:30] reminders that our neighbors don't want us [00:23:33] here. Did you have alerts? Did you receive [00:23:36] alerts from the army before Yom Kippur and the Tishrei holidays? No, [00:23:40] no, no, there aren't. As David said before, [00:23:44] all in all, thank God, the sector here is all [00:23:47] quiet thanks to a lot of hard work. [00:23:50] Daily and good work of the [00:23:53] security forces. [00:23:55] But unfortunately, they always try. [00:23:59] Ephraim, I understand that among the bathers in the spring [00:24:02] at the time of the attack were also people from Nof Tzuf [00:24:05] itself, from the community. Yes, correct. Did you manage to talk [00:24:23] What happened, that's, that's not my job, we trust the security forces [00:24:27] to handle the incident as [00:24:53] Briefly, there is a spring here, people came to bathe on the eve of Yom [00:24:56] Kippur, a terrorist arrives [00:25:00] at the scene, sees one of the people who is just arriving at the spring, opens fire [00:25:02] at him, severely injures him. [00:25:06] Miraculously, a soldier arrives at the area, begins to return fire, [00:25:09] the terrorist flees. Currently, the searches, all the security forces are in the area, the injured person is here [00:25:13] in serious condition, being transported to the hospital. Here [00:25:16] the IDF, police, Shin Bet, Border Police, everyone is here. [00:25:20] We strengthen their hands, of course, the council's forces are securing the nearby communities, they are [00:25:23] treating the civilians who are here. This is a [00:25:27] difficult event. He is also dealing with it. What are you receiving [00:25:30] right now? What do you know from the security forces? That he is currently [00:25:34] roaming armed in this area. We are in an event, I won't elaborate. We are [00:25:37] in an event. The terrorist has not been caught. He is still in the area. They will do everything [00:26:08] before you the severe attack in Nof [00:26:11] Tzuf on the Salomon family less than [00:26:14] 10 years ago. Correct. July 21, [00:26:17] 2017, around 9:30 PM on a Friday evening, [00:26:21] a terrorist entered the family's home. [00:26:24] And murdered Elad, Chaya, and Yossi there. [00:26:27] Right. Yossi Salomon and his two children, Chaya [00:26:30] and Elad. [00:26:33] Yes, throughout the years we have unfortunately [00:26:36] experienced many attacks, as [00:26:40] I said at the beginning of my words, [00:26:43] the Arabs around us never stop trying [00:26:47] to harm us, [00:26:50] and to destroy us. You remember that difficult event [00:26:53] as if it was yesterday, really, that traumatic? [00:26:57] Certainly, very much. Can you take us back [00:27:00] there for a moment? [00:27:05] Ultimately, when you know someone who was murdered [00:27:08] in an attack, you don't forget it. But we also don't [00:27:11] forget that we live here, that the entire Land of [00:27:15] Israel is ours, and no one will succeed in driving us [00:27:19] out of here. We are strong, as the head of the council said before me, we are [00:27:23] strong, we remember why we are here. If we are not [00:27:27] in Nof Tzuf, then we will not be in Tel Aviv and we will not be anywhere. We are [00:27:30] here because the Land of Israel [00:27:32] is ours. The security forces will protect us. We [00:27:36] pray to God to seal [00:27:39] us all with a good sealing, and that we will hear, God [00:27:42] willing, many good news. And you named a neighborhood after [00:27:46] Elad, Chaya, and Ach, [00:27:49] tell us something about the neighborhood? This [00:27:52] neighborhood, already started [00:27:56] with 30 housing units, [00:27:59] and in recent months he... [00:28:02] About the permanent construction, uh, [00:28:05] of thousands of housing units, this is part of our [00:28:09] answer to these things. They try to harm us, [00:28:11] they try to push us away, and we will only [00:28:15] grow stronger from this, we will flourish from this, and we will enlarge [00:28:18] the community and strengthen it even more. The neighborhood is called Neve [00:28:22] Ach, after Elad, Chaya and Yossi Salomon, [00:28:25] who were murdered on July 17, 2017 during [00:28:29] the Friday night meal. Ephraim, I. [00:28:43] We know about a large group of bathers this morning [00:28:46] at the spring near Nof Tzuf, who came to bathe before [00:28:50] Yom Kippur, and Israel told us here. Gans, head of the Binyamin Council, [00:28:53] a young man, about 30 years old, came exactly to immerse himself. [00:28:56] He was still in his car, and then a terrorist passed by [00:28:59] and shot him, it seems. The terrorist, it seems, was also [00:29:03] shooting from a red car. A soldier arrived there [00:29:05] by chance or not by chance, we still don't know. [00:29:09] He started shooting at the terrorist. The terrorist fled in the car, [00:29:13] still armed, according to our current estimates, and currently [00:29:17] security forces are after him, and this is what is happening on the ground now. [00:29:20] This is an ongoing incident. They still [00:29:24] God forbid he will attack again. He knows he is [00:29:27] being pursued. Maybe he will only try to escape. Carmela, you are still [00:29:37] the terrorist, they are trying to find out, acted alone [00:29:40] or as part of a cell. Were there lookouts waiting for him? [00:29:44] A getaway car? The immediate fear is that he is still armed [00:29:47] and may try to attack again until [00:29:50] he is caught. The security establishment fears, also, the effect [00:29:54] of imitation and contagion in the additional sectors in Judea [00:29:57] and Samaria, especially on Yom Kippur. [00:30:00] Meanwhile, the IDF has blocked the area, started area [00:30:04] searches, and at the scene aerial assets [00:30:07] from the air force were deployed, reinforcement companies that were [00:30:10] on standby, forces from the Duvdevan unit, are trying [00:30:13] to track the escape route of that [00:30:16] terrorist to prevent him from reaching settlements or carrying out another attack [00:30:20] during [00:30:22] his escape. According to reports and what [00:30:26] we heard, a soldier who was in the area opened fire [00:30:30] at the terrorist, but he... [00:30:51] mainly those who came [00:30:54] to the spring on the eve of Yom Kippur. A severe [00:30:57] attack near Na'aleh [00:31:00] Tzof in Binyamin. [00:31:03] An armed terrorist arrives at the spring, [00:31:06] near Highway 465, shoots [00:31:09] at a vehicle that was parked there, a man about [00:31:13] 30 years old who was in the car. [00:31:17] His brother performed first aid [00:31:20] and evacuated [00:31:36] that the security forces suspect that we [00:31:39] know who the terrorist is by identity. We will not yet give his name [00:31:42] and details, but we know it's a person. The terrorist is likely [00:31:46] from the village of Bido, in his 30s. We still need [00:31:49] to confirm this with the security establishment, but currently, a pursuit is underway towards [00:31:53] the village of Dir Nizam. The understanding is [00:31:56] that he left the car near the spring and fled on foot. [00:32:00] We just received official information that, as the head of the council said, [00:32:04] shots were fired back and we know he fled [00:32:07] armed, and right now that is the main effort of the security [00:32:11] establishment around the village of Dir Nizam and towards Ramallah to establish [00:32:15] roadblocks to ensure he doesn't escape. There are also aerial assets [00:32:18] conducting the pursuit, and physical roadblocks [00:32:22] on the ground. The assessment is that he will be caught soon. [00:32:26] There's not much room to escape. This pursuit started [00:32:30] very quickly, and he also fled on [00:32:32] foot, so the assessment is [00:32:36] that he will be caught soon. The only concern, of course, is [00:32:39] that there won't be an attack during or shooting during his [00:32:43] fight, which is why right now [00:32:45] this sector is stretched to its limit, and residents are [00:33:04] Kippur throughout the country, with you Orly Halaklai. Hello Orly. [00:33:08] Hello Elias, and that's exactly what everyone was afraid [00:33:11] of. And the Israel Police with thousands of officers. [00:33:17] They have been deployed since Rosh Hashanah, long [00:33:20] before, everywhere there are sites or [00:33:24] crowds, also on the border [00:33:26] where there are Border Police fighters and central [00:33:30] traffic routes. The traffic department's goal is, of course, to maintain order [00:33:34] and public safety, to allow [00:33:37] worship for [00:33:40] worshippers in the synagogue. This time, it seems. Probably in the synagogue [00:33:43] much more armed on Yom Kippur Eve as well, they [00:33:47] also asked anyone who has a licensed weapon to carry [00:33:51] it, another pair of eyes, another person who can [00:33:55] provide a response if, God forbid, there is an unusual incident. Let's hear from [00:34:05] with augmented forces throughout the country. Police officers, Border Police fighters, [00:34:08] volunteers, and standby squads are ready for any scenario. [00:34:12] The emphasis is on crowded places and, of course, on the roads [00:34:15] towards Yom Kippur, also in areas where there are synagogues. I call [00:34:19] on the general public to be vigilant and report, even during [00:34:23] Yom Kippur, any unusual incident. Israel Police officers are [00:34:27] here to protect and ensure the well-being [00:34:37] Lead that there are roadblocks, breathing checkpoints, [00:34:40] as the police call them. Inspection [00:34:43] checkpoints, and this will happen in the area too. [00:34:47] Also in the Shlomi area, also in the Nahariya area, [00:34:50] also in Acre, also in the Hadera area, there will be checkpoints, [00:34:53] breathing checkpoints, inspection checkpoints of the police [00:34:56] to prevent anyone from trying to come and disrupt the peace of Yom [00:35:00] Kippur and drive recklessly, someone who is not supposed to be [00:35:03] in the area, also in Haifa, also in many [00:35:07] cities in the country, the police are setting up breathing checkpoints to [00:35:11] prevent any development and any friction that could. [00:35:31] the report in the Emirates that says Ben [00:35:33] Zayed himself did not warn about October 7th in his conversation with [00:35:36] Netanyahu. Yes, let's put in order what happened [00:35:40] in the last day. So actually what happened yesterday [00:35:43] around 12 o'clock, about an hour before, [00:35:47] is that a report was published in a newspaper, [00:35:50] a newspaper owned by the Emirates, a newspaper affiliated with [00:35:53] the Emirates, in which there is actually a quote [00:35:57] from a senior, a senior Emirati official, anonymously, [00:36:00] who actually responds [00:36:03] to the publication that the publication in Israel, that [00:36:07] the President of the UAE Mohammed bin Zayed gave a specific [00:36:10] and explicit warning to Prime Minister Netanyahu before October 7th about [00:36:14] an impending Hamas attack. In fact, [00:36:17] this Emirati official clarifies what [00:36:20] the Emirates officially said, in the same [00:36:24] statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs about a week [00:36:28] and a half ago. The Emirati official says in response [00:36:31] to the query from The National, that in fact the Emirates [00:36:35] discusses security issues through the relevant bodies, [00:36:38] and such details, meaning the details described in the [00:36:42] aforementioned publication, are not discussed in conversations between [00:36:45] two leaders. Now, let's recall [00:36:47] that in the publication of the Emirati Foreign Ministry, an official [00:36:51] statement was issued which said that the Emirates does not respond [00:36:55] to any kind of [00:36:57] assumptions or unverified information, something in that [00:37:00] vein, regarding conversations or the content of conversations between leaders. [00:37:04] It was stated that sensitive information, when needed, [00:37:07] is transferred through the relevant bodies. So here, in fact, [00:37:11] the Emiratis, anonymously, it must be said, this [00:37:15] is not an official Emirati statement, are going [00:37:18] up another decibel, in fact, [00:37:21] saying that information, as described, was not conveyed in a conversation [00:37:25] between the leaders, without them specifically referring to the conversation. [00:37:28] It's important to say this also in this [00:37:30] publication, but I assume that the storm will continue [00:37:34] to rage even after this publication, [00:37:37] this report from the Emirates. Roi, thank [00:39:20] just yesterday after Shabbat. President Herzog [00:39:24] and essentially erased the criminal [00:39:36] with him yesterday. Indeed. Describe his [00:39:40] reaction. Well, of course [00:39:44] he was happy. I just want [00:39:46] to note that this request was submitted two years ago, [00:39:49] after a previous request to President [00:39:53] Rivlin was rejected, so [00:39:56] the process was very long, very protracted. Who submitted the pardon [00:39:59] request? Elor. Elor? [00:40:02] Yes. How old is he today? [00:40:06] Look, I estimate he's in his [00:40:08] thirties. And what does he request in the pardon? How does he [00:40:12] explain the request? The reasoning [00:40:16] relies mainly on personal circumstances, the passage of time. [00:40:19] 10 years have passed since the incident. He was not convicted [00:40:23] of a criminal offense, not before, not after, personal circumstances. [00:40:28] Family situation, medical condition of family [00:40:30] members, uh, mainly personal [00:40:42] Elor's family during that period, you say circumstances related to family [00:40:46] members? Yes, the father became ill [00:40:49] as a result of the pressure he was under, he had [00:40:52] a brother of the father who passed away, [00:40:55] this whole incident didn't do them any good. [00:40:58] Yes, so you're saying that in fact the request was submitted by Elor [00:41:02] two years ago already and was rejected by President [00:41:05] Rivlin? It was submitted in this round two [00:41:08] years ago, it was submitted previously, there was a first [00:41:12] request that was rejected, to President Rivlin, and do you [00:41:16] know for what reason it was rejected at the time? [00:41:19] The generic reasons that also appear [00:41:23] in the military prosecutor's response to the current request, [00:41:27] he expressed remorse, that this was a serious [00:41:30] incident. He did not express remorse? [00:41:34] No. [00:41:37] I'm trying to understand, Ilan, the military prosecution responded. Your pardon [00:41:41] request, which you submitted now to President Herzog, we submitted it, Elor [00:41:44] submitted it. Yes, Elor submitted a pardon request. The military prosecution [00:41:48] responded to this request. They opposed it. They opposed [00:41:52] it, and consequently, the Chief of Staff opposed it, and the Minister of Defense thought [00:41:55] otherwise. So wait, let's shed some light on [00:41:59] the affair. Elor submits a pardon request for the second time, this time to President Isaac [00:42:03] Herzog. The Chief Military Prosecution opposes it because it says he did not [00:42:06] express remorse for his actions, among other things. Yes. For what [00:42:10] additional reasons? For example, the severity of the incident. [00:42:14] These were the claims of the military prosecution? Correct. And then [00:42:17] the Chief of Staff opposed it, or the Chief of Staff did not present a position? The Chief of Staff presented [00:42:21] a position on behalf of the military prosecution's position. And President [00:42:24] Herzog received all this information? [00:42:27] Correct. There is a structured process, you need to understand. [00:42:30] Okay, when a pardon request is submitted, there are a number [00:42:34] of bodies that need to respond. The relevant [00:42:37] bodies in this case. [00:42:41] The military, uh, the Chief of Staff, [00:42:45] uh, the Ministry of Justice, uh, the supervising minister, [00:42:48] and ultimately, the one who decides [00:42:50] is the President. [00:42:54] So ultimately, who, the final [00:42:56] approval, came from the military echelon, from the Minister of Defense, [00:43:00] Yoav Gallant, and he submitted his approval to Herzog, and then, yes, [00:43:04] indeed, he supported [00:43:17] at family events, wedding, circumcisions. [00:43:20] Yes, he, all these years, thought [00:43:23] he was being wronged, even today he thinks he was [00:43:27] wronged. What does that mean? Can you [00:43:30] elaborate? [00:43:33] It started with the statement of the Minister of Defense, and then Moshe [00:43:36] Bogie Ya'alon said, he immediately ran. [00:43:51] The whole army aligned with the statement of the Minister [00:43:54] of Defense. For about a year, [00:43:58] the senior commanders were not in actual contact with him. [00:44:00] ממשי [00:44:03] Ah, yes. And he feels, he [00:44:06] feels, but beyond the media reactions. To this [00:44:10] day, he feels he shouldn't have been punished? [00:44:13] I don't want to get into legal definitions, to punish or not [00:44:16] to punish. The entire process [00:44:19] that took place concerning him was [00:44:23] flawed. It was flawed. [00:44:25] Correct. Even though he was eventually convicted. [00:44:28] Convicted, but in the sentencing , the court criticized [00:44:32] the statement of the Minister [00:44:35] of Defense, regarding the timing at which it [00:44:37] was made. [00:44:40] And explain to us what the meaning of the word "pardon" is in this context? [00:44:44] In this case, the meaning is very simple, his criminal record [00:44:47] was erased. We need to understand that when there is a criminal record, there are two [00:44:50] stages. The first stage is the expiration [00:44:53] of the record, when most [00:44:55] let's call them bodies cannot [00:44:59] claim that a person has a criminal [00:45:01] record, and then when there is an erasure, then government [00:45:05] authorities such as the police, the Ministry [00:45:08] of Interior, the Ministry of Internal Security, [00:45:12] and so on, [00:45:14] for them, the person is clean. Yes. [00:45:18] And he has no criminal record. What did he do during the years, Attorney Katz? [00:45:21] He opened a business, a pastry shop [00:45:24] in Ramle, and made a living, and it [00:45:28] haunted him, it haunted him when he went into debt, he said he would not return. Your impression is it haunted [00:45:31] him, people looked at him maybe some of them? I think [00:45:35] most people supported him. They supported him. Right. [00:45:39] They provided support. [00:45:52] tells us about the process. Elor Azaria submitted his first pardon request to President [00:45:55] Rivlin, which was rejected because he did not express remorse. He submitted it again [00:45:59] to President Herzog. The Chief Military Prosecution opposed it [00:46:02] for the reasons that he did not express remorse. The Chief of Staff also joined [00:46:06] the opposition. But ultimately, the Minister of Defense supported the pardon request. [00:46:12] President Herzog accepted it. This is about a criminal record, [00:46:15] this is not a person who is in prison and whose sentence is being shortened. This is [00:46:27] after another. A short while ago, IDF forces eliminated [00:46:30] a terrorist who tried to carry out a ramming attack [00:46:34] against IDF forces, operating in the Jenin [00:46:37] area in the Menashe Brigade. No casualties. [00:46:42] This is a statement from the IDF spokesperson. The IDF continues [00:46:46] to pursue the terrorist who carried out the attack [00:46:49] near Neve [00:46:52] Tzuf, as we [00:46:55] reported, and the army continues to block [00:46:59] roads in the area, launching area searches, surrounding [00:47:02] the nearby village, aerial [00:47:05] assets from the air force, reinforcement companies, on standby, [00:47:08] and special forces continue to track [00:47:12] the terrorist's escape route, and to prevent [00:47:15] him from reaching settlements and carrying out another attack, and as mentioned, [00:47:19] uh, another attack. [00:47:23] Another attack, [00:47:25] IDF forces eliminated a terrorist who tried to carry out a ramming attack against [00:47:29] IDF forces in the Jenin area, in the Menashe [00:47:32] Brigade, no casualties to our forces, as [00:47:35] we said, such incidents are contagious, [00:47:38] and create the fear [00:47:41] of a chain of attacks of this kind, meanwhile the alert level there [00:47:57] that Elor Azaria expressed remorse as part of [00:48:00] the process, this is the response of the President's spokesperson, and if a [00:48:03] more structured response comes later with more details, we will of course read [00:48:07] it here on air. This is President [00:48:10] Herzog's response now. Good, we are of course continuing [00:48:13] to update and follow the pursuit of the terrorist near Binyamin [00:48:17] constantly, and now we are [00:48:31] Kippur Eve seems to open with such an attack in Neve Tzuf. How [00:48:35] do you, as an Israeli, deeply rooted, a patriot, [00:48:38] how do you experience such an entry into Yom Kippur? It's so symbolic in the State [00:48:42] of Israel, [00:48:44] that on such a holy day for all the people of Israel, our enemies [00:48:47] have no God. And they [00:48:50] look for these points, these [00:48:52] approaches among the people of Israel to harm and hurt [00:48:56] more. We live it, breathe it all [00:48:59] these years. I am not [00:49:55] a passage where everything was almost collapsing [00:49:58] and... Is this on the Golan Heights? On the Golan Heights, of course, in the Valley [00:50:02] of Tears, and I went forward, and he was always [00:50:05] worried, Yanush, Yanush, and said, "Don't get too [00:50:09] involved," all sorts of things, but I behaved as [00:50:12] I behaved. And then when I told [00:50:16] him, "I ask you to help me with artillery," because there was also [00:50:19] terrible artillery fire, he said, "I'll do everything to help you." [00:50:22] And suddenly he got into an argument, you suddenly don't [00:50:26] understand where that came from. [00:50:29] That's it, of course I need [00:54:51] pay attention to a special interview with Hila Cohen-Elazar, daughter [00:54:54] of the Chief of Staff of the Yom Kippur War, Major General David Elazar, [00:54:58] may his memory be a blessing, who this year we commemorate 50 years [00:55:01] since his passing at the age of 50 in very tragic circumstances after that. [00:55:09] She will tell us about life with her father, about those difficult weeks when he [00:55:13] actually testified before the Agranat Commission, and we will [00:55:17] also tell you about some prayers that were written in the last [00:55:20] three years. We will return to you immediately after [01:00:17] Good afternoon, it's 1:00 now. We have a news update. [01:00:21] We're starting with the attack in Neve Tzuf [01:00:24] in Binyamin. Itai Blumenthal, our correspondent for military [01:00:27] and security affairs, will join us shortly with the results of this severe [01:00:31] attack, in which a man about 30 years old was seriously [01:00:34] injured. The manhunt for the terrorist continues. We first want to see [01:00:38] the first moments of the [01:00:41] attack. There's a color here. [01:00:43] צבע, [01:01:24] a little less than two hours ago. A Palestinian terrorist [01:01:27] arrived in a red Mitsubishi Outlander. [01:01:31] He stops near the Ein Raya spring, in the [01:01:35] Neve Tzuf area, and as soon as he gets out of the car, he opens fire [01:01:38] at the Israeli bathers and also [01:01:41] those who were in the parking lot, to carry out a shooting [01:01:45] using an M type weapon. It seems [01:01:48] that it was a standard weapon, and as a result of this shooting, [01:01:52] from the attack, there is an Israeli citizen who was injured, [01:01:55] a resident of Samaria. Many [01:01:58] IDF forces are currently carrying out extensive searches, they [01:02:02] also imposed a curfew and closure on the nearby [01:02:05] villages. It must be said that both air support and many [01:02:09] IDF soldiers, including the Duvdevan [01:02:12] unit, were dispatched to the scene, part of the siege after the terrorist [01:02:16] who is still on the run. He fled [01:02:19] on foot from the scene, we see that there is an [01:02:23] attack happening hours before Yom Kippur, [01:02:26] just about half an hour ago, another attempted attack. [01:02:30] In the Samaria area near Jenin, when [01:02:33] a Palestinian vehicle tried to hit two IDF soldiers [01:02:36] who were standing at a checkpoint near Jenin, the soldiers opened [01:02:40] fire, one of the terrorists [01:02:43] was eliminated, the second was arrested by IDF [01:02:46] forces, and back to the attack in the Neve [01:02:49] Tzuf area, the chase is still ongoing. The security [01:02:52] establishment knows the identity of the terrorist, he fled [01:02:56] on foot, and we are currently mainly trying. When [01:03:00] will the siege close, because in the end there is a terrorist here [01:03:04] who carried out a shooting, he has a very high motivation, he [01:03:07] is armed, and at least for now he [01:03:10] is on the run from security forces. Yes, Itay, and just [01:03:14] as we speak, we receive [01:03:16] an update that the injured person [01:03:20] from the attack has been pronounced dead. He was evacuated to Beilinson Hospital [01:03:24] in Petah Tikva, and the doctors were forced to pronounce him dead after [01:03:27] prolonged resuscitation [01:03:31] efforts. Efforts that began even at the scene when he was injured [01:03:34] as a result of the terrorists' shooting. [01:03:37] So we, unfortunately, report one murdered [01:03:41] in the attack near Nof Tzuf [01:03:44] in Binyamin in this incident, as the hunt [01:03:48] for the terrorist is still ongoing. Yes, [01:03:51] the siege is still ongoing, so it's possible that there is already [01:03:55] a terrorist who carried out an attack, an attack in which [01:03:58] an Israeli citizen was murdered. [01:04:01] There is another person who suffered from anxiety at the same [01:04:05] scene. We saw the footage right at the beginning [01:04:08] of the news flash, which really reminds us of events we saw [01:04:11] three years ago, shootings and citizens [01:04:14] asking where the army is as they try to hide, [01:04:18] unbelievable images. This [01:04:20] is the reality this morning in one of the springs in Judea [01:04:24] and Samaria near Nof Tzuf, truly very difficult images and the results [01:04:28] are also difficult, an Israeli was murdered [01:04:31] this morning in a shooting attack. Yes, while the [01:04:34] Chief of Staff, Major General Zamir, is conducting [01:04:37] an assessment after the attack. [01:04:41] And instructing to reinforce forces for the continuation of the manhunt for [01:04:45] the terrorist. Of course, [01:04:48] as we talked about earlier, the forces are already stretched. [01:04:52] So to what extent can we really reinforce the forces in the area? That's also [01:04:55] a question that arises. Of course, the situation [01:04:59] is absolutely [01:05:33] this severe attack in Ma'ayan Anar or Ein Bin [01:05:37] Ba, uh, near the settlement of Nabi Tzuf, Binyamin, [01:05:41] about two hours ago, [01:05:43] the victim of the attack, a resident of the settlement of Eli Zahav in Samaria, arrived [01:05:47] at the scene to mourn before Yom Kippur. Unfortunately, after [01:05:50] extensive resuscitation efforts, after they managed to bring back his pulse at Dlinchon Hospital [01:05:53] in Petah Tikva, he was pronounced dead. Uh, [01:05:57] the family and residents of Samaria are accompanying the... family right now [01:06:00] in these difficult moments, [01:06:03] on the eve of Yom Kippur, with tragic news. The pursuit of [01:06:07] the terrorist who carried out the attack continues, even as we speak, [01:06:11] with the general understanding that his identity is known, most likely to the IDF. [01:06:15] The understanding is that he is a resident of the village of Biddu, not far from there, [01:06:18] also not far from the residence of the victim [01:06:22] of the attack, and he is 37 years old, fled [01:06:25] on foot, towards the village of Deir [01:06:29] Nizam. What we understand [01:06:33] from the investigation is that the terrorist arrived at the scene, [01:06:36] most likely uh, by car, got [01:06:40] out of the car and carried out a shooting towards [01:06:43] the people who were there near the spring. The understanding is [01:06:47] that the victim was at that [01:06:50] very moment in the car or outside the car [01:06:53] at the entrance to the spring, and unfortunately was severely [01:06:57] injured. What they said in the Binyamin Regional Council, uh. Forces [01:07:00] managed to return fire towards the terrorist, some soldier [01:07:04] who was there. We haven't received these details in an organized manner from the IDF, but [01:07:08] the terrorist fled on foot towards the village of Deir Mizem [01:07:10] and since then a pursuit is underway [01:07:14] after him, after he is caught in the coming hours, but he is still armed and that [01:07:17] is what causes great tension. You are talking about a soldier [01:07:21] who is shooting at the terrorist at the scene. Do we know if he was injured [01:07:25] in it? That's what it is, he was not injured. That's what [01:07:28] was claimed. At least by the Binyamin Regional [01:07:31] Council. Currently, the head of the council, that's what he [01:07:34] claimed, he said it on air, but we [01:07:38] have not confirmed this claim from the IDF. In any case, we know that the terrorist [01:07:41] fled on foot [01:07:44] towards the village and from there roadblocks also towards [01:07:48] Ramallah ah, in an attempt to prevent [01:07:51] him of course [01:07:54] from escaping. Yes, Haim, I want you to stay with us, I want us to see again the [01:07:57] footage from the moments when the attack [01:08:00] happened at the spring near Nof Tzuf, [01:08:04] those difficult moments, here there is [01:08:07] a military [01:08:09] force. [01:08:12] Yes, [01:08:33] Yonatan, these are difficult moments. Where is this [01:08:36] happening? Very difficult moments. We are on the eve of Yom Kippur. We see people [01:08:39] hiding right under the spring. Probably [01:08:46] the entrance area, where the cars are parked, and not really in the water [01:08:48] itself, and they are hiding right under the pool [01:08:52] asking if there is an army, if there is an army, and we hear the shooting taking place [01:08:55] there, probably by the terrorist, and maybe also by whoever returned fire, [01:08:59] if that information is correct. [01:09:02] Uh, uh, moments that also truly remind [01:09:04] us of difficult [01:09:06] uh, uh, other attacks and recent events in recent years, but [01:09:09] really, a great miracle. But [01:09:13] a difficult outcome, one person murdered [01:09:16] in this attack, a very difficult outcome, Haim, and we see [01:09:20] that alongside this incident, alongside this attack, another [01:09:23] attempted attack, an attempt to harm IDF [01:09:27] forces in northern Samaria. What is happening in the other [01:09:30] incident? We are talking about another incident a short [01:09:33] while ago near the settlement of Jenin, which was re-established in northern Samaria, [01:09:37] exposed and disengaged, even in the very [01:09:40] recent period, at a checkpoint. [01:10:03] arrested by the forces. There are no casualties to our forces in this incident, but truly [01:10:06] within an hour, both an attack and another attempted attack in northern [01:10:10] Samaria, which... If we saw the increased alertness that [01:10:14] was raised in the IDF and throughout [01:10:17] the country before the holidays, before Yom Kippur, before the High Holy Days, then now [01:10:21] we understand the results very quickly, we see [01:10:24] it on the ground, both an attack and an attempted attack, [01:10:28] within one hour, unfortunately, a difficult outcome on the eve of Yom [01:10:31] Kippur. Haim, we know [01:10:34] that the Chief of Staff arrived at the scene, also the commander [01:10:37] of the command, like situation assessments. Do we [01:10:40] know if because of the two? [01:10:52] Is there an assessment in the IDF that there might be additional attempts during Yom Kippur? [01:10:55] Uh, of course there is such an assessment and there are reinforced forces in all sectors, [01:10:59] not only in Judea and Samaria, but of course in Judea and Samaria, also [01:11:03] reinforcement companies, also special units that were approved [01:11:06] for readiness, also everyone [01:11:08] who carries a weapon is requested to pray for it and there is. [01:11:12] Readiness to perhaps close some routes and places [01:11:15] that are at risk, as every Yom Kippur, but of course this year there [01:11:18] is very, very high readiness. The Chief of Staff did not arrive at the scene, the Central Command [01:11:22] is now at the scene together with the commander of Judea and Samaria, but yes, a situation assessment is being held [01:11:26] together with the Chief of Staff [01:11:30] readiness, even though it is very [01:11:33] מאוד לסי, אבל כן כמובן לסגור את המעגל על המחבל שביצע את [01:11:37] הפיגוע ולהבין אם היה עוד סייענים או מישהו שניסה [01:11:41] לעזור לו לבצע אותו. שכאמור בכל הקשור למחבל שביצע את [01:11:44] הפיגוע הרצחני בסמוך לנו צוף [01:11:48] בבינימין, אה, כל הערכות, שמדובר [01:11:51] במחבל בודד, שלא יהיה איתו עוד איזשהו [01:11:54] מחבל ברכב, כרגע זה [01:11:57] המידע, אבל לא בדוק, לא לא ברור, כמובן מישהו סיפק לו את [01:12:00] הנשק, אם זה איזשהי יוזמה כללית, מאורגנת, [01:12:03] this attack he came alone, but [01:12:07] that too is still being investigated, he has not yet been caught and it is still too early [01:12:11] to determine. Yes, we see. Now a picture of the commander of the command [01:12:15] who is at the scene, Avi [01:12:18] Balut, together with the commander of the Judea and Samaria division, [01:12:22] Brigadier General Kobi Eller, they are actually also with [01:12:25] police forces. There is a combination of forces [01:12:29] in dealing with this scene. [01:12:33] Again, I say, we saw on the screen [01:12:37] just now a picture from the scene of the commander of the Central [01:12:40] Command, Avi Balut. The commander of the Judea [01:12:43] and Samaria Division, Kobi Eller, they are at the point [01:12:47] in the area, in the area of the attack scene in Nof [01:12:49] Tzuf, together also with police forces. There is [01:12:53] some combination of forces. [01:12:56] of the operations being carried out there, both by the IDF and [01:12:59] by the police. Yes, it's a combination [01:13:03] and there's also an attempt to end this pursuit, also to ensure that no additional [01:13:07] shooting occurs during this pursuit towards [01:13:10] the forces. A complex pursuit [01:13:14] and of course residents who want to reach after this road [01:13:18] is still preferred not to travel on it and it is closed [01:13:21] to traffic uh, from this point of view, in terms [01:13:25] of the fear that another [01:13:35] thank you. Now to another matter, [01:13:39] the journalist Gideon Kutz, 78 years old, has passed away. [01:13:43] Kutz was for four decades, the correspondent [01:13:47] of Kol Israel in Paris and one of the most identifiable voices of [01:13:50] public broadcasting, in the French [01:13:53] and European arena. Throughout his long career, Kutz covered [01:13:57] some of the key events that shaped Europe and the world, including [01:14:01] the fall of the Berlin Wall and the revolutions in Eastern [01:14:04] Europe, the Yugoslav wars and Chechnya, the peace process [01:14:07] in the Middle East, the Arab Spring, terrorist attacks in Europe, [01:14:11] the crisis in Ukraine and the nuclear talks with Iran. Professor [01:14:15] Kutz was also a researcher and historian of the history of Hebrew [01:14:18] and Jewish journalism in Europe. He is survived by his wife, [01:14:21] journalist and photographer Yaffa Eron Kutz. May [01:14:25] his memory be a blessing. Now [01:14:29] for the weather forecast. Tomorrow, Monday, Yom [01:14:32] Kippur, a slight warming mainly in the cities and inland [01:14:35] areas. On Tuesday, temperatures will drop, and on [01:14:39] Wednesday, a further slight cooling. [01:14:42] These are the times for the beginning of Yom Kippur and its end. [01:14:45] In Jerusalem, the fast begins at 5:58 PM. [01:14:49] The fast ends at 7:13 PM. In Tel Aviv, the fast begins [01:14:52] at 6:22 PM. It ends at... [01:14:56] In Haifa, the fast begins at 6:09 PM. [01:14:59] It ends at 7:04 PM. And in Beersheba, the fast begins [01:15:03] at 6:21 PM. The fast ends at [01:15:06] 7:15 PM. [01:15:09] And before the end, here's what awaits you in the Kan News broadcast on [01:15:13] Monday, after Yom Kippur. [01:15:55] I was recently at the Carmel Market and someone shouted at me, [01:15:59] "Ziona!" [01:25:46] of sergeant. I received the rank of corporal. Who awarded me the rank? [01:25:50] David Elazar, commander of the Armor Corps. I went [01:25:53] to officer courses, after the officer courses, after a month [01:25:56] I was dismissed, and it was written in my certificate, it still [01:26:00] exists today, "Lack of command and leadership ability, not [01:26:04] suitable to be an officer in the IDF." [01:26:06] And then I arrive, Dadu is furious because [01:26:10] they dismissed seven of us, and I arrive at his office and stand [01:26:13] at attention in his office in the Armor Corps, and he [01:26:17] asks me questions, "Give an order to this," he remembered the moment [01:26:21] you were there. "Give an order to this, give an order to this, give an order," and suddenly he [01:26:25] hits the table. "What are you doing [01:26:27] here anyway?" And then I tell him, "Commander, I [01:26:31] am dismissed." "You will hear [01:26:34] from me again." The story behind it all is that I met him after [01:26:38] that through Rabin and he, he went to Rabin when he [01:26:41] was Deputy Chief of Staff, and said to him, "I have no officers." [01:26:45] He says, "Send good people." "You have no officers?" He says, "What [01:26:48] do you want? I sent an excellent trainee, his name [01:26:52] is Kahalani." And they also [01:26:54] dismissed him. So he says, "So what are you asking me?" [01:26:58] Rabin, they both told me the story, "I'm asking [01:27:01] that Avigdor Kahalani go to the armored officers' course, [01:27:05] to the second part, meaning to the completion." Rabin [01:27:08] says to him, "You're breaking all my leadership in the army. How can I make such [01:27:12] a decision?" "I'll manage for one." [01:27:15] Again, they asked me, I said, "My [01:27:18] foot will not step there." And then they send me to the armored [01:27:22] officers' course by your father's decision. Rabin [01:27:26] says, "I couldn't argue with Dadu. He told me, 'I'm [01:27:29] asking you to let Kahalani go to the officers' course, [01:27:33] to the armored officers' course.'" And Dadu makes the decision, [01:27:36] and I finish with the highest grade [01:27:39] in the armored course, without [01:31:04] who was indeed the musical director of many [01:31:07] singers, Nurit Galron and he also worked with [01:31:10] the band Tammuz. Hila, I return with you for a moment [01:31:14] to your father and the outbreak of the Yom [01:31:17] Kippur War, because just the day before you were not at [01:31:21] home, right? You went to visit a friend who is also relatively famous. [01:31:24] Who did you go to visit? Orit Mofaz in Tivon. I met [01:31:28] her, who today is the wife of Shaul Mofaz. But you [01:31:31] went. And when do you find out that a war broke out? I remind [01:31:35] you, your father was the Chief of Staff and there was tension during that period. And I was supposed [01:31:38] to enlist, I went before I enlisted. I was supposed [01:31:41] to enlist on the 9th and I also enlisted on October 9th. [01:31:45] Okay, and I went for a weekend to Tivon, which was one of the places [01:31:49] I loved most that we lived in. And suddenly my mother [01:31:52] calls on Saturday already, of course, and she tells me, "Come [01:31:55] home quickly because a war is starting." [01:31:58] I felt like the sky had fallen on me, [01:32:01] really. He was not home, of course. [01:32:04] Did you see him during the war? No, I enlisted. [01:32:08] I packed combat rations, I was in basic training. [01:32:10] Afterwards, I arrived at the unit, but for a long time [01:32:14] I was scooping up dirt with a 15. And I only [01:32:18] kept hearing about wounded and killed, and also my [01:32:21] friends, and it was terribly difficult. I want to take you back [01:32:24] to the moment when your father says the famous [01:32:27] phrase during the war. We will see it now on the screen of Kan 11 [01:32:31] and also hear it. On the radio, and here he is full [01:32:35] of optimism and hope in this section, right? It was a press [01:32:38] conference, and he answers questions from journalists, in the midst of [01:32:41] terrible surprise? Let's watch [01:32:44] this clip of Dad's. Here it is: This generation of [01:32:48] '73, it surpasses the generation of [01:32:52] '67, which surpassed the generation of '58, which surpassed [01:32:56] the generation of '48. [01:32:59] This new generation is a generation of fighters. That you, [01:33:03] long after the war, will write their legends. Do [01:33:07] you predict a short or a longer war? I only repeat [01:33:11] one thing now, that [01:33:14] we will continue to attack and we will continue to pursue and [01:33:17] we will break their bones. I don't want to commit yet to how [01:33:21] long it will take us. Here he is, as I said, very, very [01:33:25] optimistic. And then the Agranat Commission comes. He is not optimistic, he [01:33:29] is strong. He is not optimistic, and that was in B. [01:33:35] And then he heard, and he also told us, "I didn't care what the media would think [01:33:38] about it. It was important to me that every [01:33:42] soldier also [01:33:45] heard it and gained strength from it." And then he really heard [01:33:49] from the captives and from the wounded how much it strengthened them to hear [01:33:53] it. When he arrives at the [01:33:56] Agranat Commission in the end, the commission that sealed [01:33:59] his fate, does he at some point [01:34:03] understand that it might not end well for him? [01:34:06] No, not at all, and he's not even preoccupied with it. [01:34:10] He's so entirely preoccupied with rebuilding the army now. I want [01:34:13] to understand, he's rebuilding the army, and in parallel he's appearing before [01:34:17] a state commission of inquiry and he tells [01:34:20] me that some of them are from the Stone Age, that they have no idea what's [01:34:24] going on. From the questions, he understands, he feels that they don't understand what they are asking, and also [01:34:28] they are only investigating up to the [01:34:31] containment stage, because that's what interests them. The surprise. They [01:34:35] only focused on containment up to the eighth and a month and [01:34:39] not after that. He managed the war from A to [01:34:41] Z. Therefore, they did not deal with the matter at all. To protect [01:34:53] the government and those around them. And your father [01:34:57] feels this? He told them to postpone the commission, to let him first [01:35:01] rebuild the army. They didn't let him, and only... he needed [01:35:04] a chief of staff in the army after such an event, he needed to rebuild the army while simultaneously going [01:35:08] and testifying. He only at the very end says to himself, [01:35:11] suddenly he feels a little uncomfortable, and then he says: Do [01:35:15] I need a lawyer? So they tell him: [01:35:18] We are all his defenders. Of. [01:35:22] Yes, and then, Ayla? [01:35:26] And then he receives a message from Golda Meir? Yes, yes, [01:35:30] to come to him, to come to her. And when he receives the message [01:35:34] from Golda, when the conclusions are published and she receives them [01:35:37] first, he understands that it will end badly, he understands [01:35:40] that it's, that it's not good, yes, ah, Hanoch [01:35:44] Bartov opened the book exactly [01:35:46] with him describing it. We have it here, he [01:35:50] describes himself how he had that difficult day, that difficult [01:35:53] day actually. He tells Hanoch Bartov how difficult the day was, [01:35:57] and he also tells in the story that he [01:36:00] took a moment after Golda spoke to him, that she was hurting. [01:36:04] This event hurt her deeply. I understand that he also loved Golda, yes. [01:36:08] Yes, he tells there that he needed to calm down [01:36:11] from these conclusions, as you say Avigdor, they did it to him. [01:36:15] You, you testify as a fighter and he entered the King David Hotel there for a moment to [01:36:19] calm down, and he came from there to write something. He [01:36:22] couldn't write anything. He looks at the Old [01:36:25] City and all the memories come back and everything he [01:36:29] did until then, from the War [01:36:31] of Independence, everything came before [01:36:47] to. And in the end, he, he [01:36:50] was forced to leave the position, and he lived another three years, [01:36:54] and then he passed away very young, at 50. How were [01:36:57] those three years for you as his daughter who loves him? Three and not [01:37:01] two, or am I confused? [01:37:04] '74 were [01:37:08] the conclusions of the committee and in '76 he died. I meant [01:37:11] three years after the war, yes. Right, right. So, [01:37:15] exactly 50 years old. How was life after that [01:37:18] for you as his [01:39:09] Halevi? Yes. When? [01:39:14] before October [01:39:24] every Chief of Staff, even before him, [01:39:27] it seems that my father is truly an inspiration for Chiefs of Staff [01:39:31] too, and they, at least the recent ones, called [01:39:34] the family and wanted to come to us and wanted [01:39:38] to sit with us, and Hertzi did the same. You're saying that many [01:39:41] Chiefs of Staff, whenever they were appointed, wanted to sit with Dad's [01:39:45] family? What are you saying? Yes. [01:39:48] And, ah, Hertzi went above and beyond and invited us [01:39:52] to the Kirya to show us exactly where the government meetings [01:39:55] were held during the war. [01:39:58] And we had, and he wanted us to come with the children [01:40:02] and grandchildren. Why did he want to? Because he wanted to get to know us, because he said [01:40:05] that Dad was an inspiration [01:40:08] for him. And it was also very important [01:40:11] for him to tell us that the inspiration is also that he [01:40:15] thinks to himself how they are preparing differently [01:40:18] this time and are really ready. But if [01:40:21] it happens, and it's inevitable, there can always be a situation [01:40:25] that we don't foresee. So he hopes [01:40:29] that, ah, that the army will be able to cope [01:40:32] and that they will have strength, just as indeed the army [01:40:36] in '73. Now it's something else. It's hard to compare. It's [01:40:40] a completely different event and in a completely different [01:40:53] describing the person who was Chief of Staff on October [01:40:56] 7th. He invites Dado's family two weeks [01:40:59] before, two weeks before October 7th, and tells [01:41:03] you that he wants to meet you and learn [01:41:06] and draw inspiration. How can that surprise of the ... not only how can it [01:41:10] not happen again, but also how to act if it happens. He [01:41:13] published a daily order and he published it [01:41:16] with my father's daily order, ah, [01:41:19] alongside his daily [01:45:08] journalist Gideon Coe. [01:45:10] Passed away. [01:45:15] Okay, we'll talk about [01:45:47] before October 7th, called "Prayer [01:45:49] as a Cry." "Prayer to Invisible Forces," a selection of prayers [01:45:53] written during the Iron Swords War. The truth is we planned [01:45:56] to have a long conversation with you, but unfortunately there was an attack, [01:46:00] and its coverage took up a large part of the program. But we're not giving up [01:46:04] on you because it's your birthday. So today we'll give you a sample [01:46:07] from the book and you'll come back to us on Simchat Torah eve. Which is [01:46:11] the day before the difficult event, and then we [01:46:14] will elaborate. [01:46:18] word about the book, Yoel. The book is, it's [01:46:20] actually articles and prayers, [01:46:24] about 100 of the prayers that were written since [01:46:27] October 7th, since the Black Shabbat. I [01:46:31] started collecting this immediately after, already on Sunday, [01:46:34] October 8th. [01:46:37] And hundreds of prayers were written. [01:46:40] And the book, published by Idra, contains [01:46:44] articles by researchers [01:46:46] and a collection of prayers, and also within the articles there are [01:46:50] prayers. I think this topic is fascinating. I [01:46:53] highlight it in my opening remarks that prayer [01:46:57] is, as you said, prayers to unseen [01:47:00] forces. That is, one must distinguish who one is actually [01:47:04] addressing. And the second [01:47:07] thing is that every prayer written there is... a historical [01:47:10] document. Who wrote these prayers? You [01:47:13] won't believe it, it could be rabbis, [01:47:17] kibbutz members from the Hashomer Hatzair. I'll give [01:47:20] you an example, Benny Talmi, whose two parents were members of [01:47:24] Knesset for Mapam, wrote [01:47:27] a prayer, and he also wrote a prayer book. Really [01:47:31] wrote, [01:47:34] rabbis, teachers, but many soldiers, [01:47:37] also commanders wrote, okay. Women wrote, I'll stop [01:47:41] you for a moment, Yoel, because today we will focus on one [01:47:44] prayer that really connects with Yom [01:47:47] Kippur. It really connects with [01:48:00] specialist at Leumit and Shaare Zedek and a reserve doctor. I'll [01:48:04] read a moment the beginning of the prayer you wrote, which is so [01:48:08] beautiful and really describes this [01:48:11] tradition of the priest in the Temple: he arrived [01:48:14] in the south, turned his face north. They brought him [01:48:17] olive robes and he wore them. He entered [01:48:20] to retrieve the weapon and the magazines. They brought him [01:48:23] a combat vest and he wore it. This aligns completely with Ishay [01:48:26] Ribo's song, "Seder Ha'Avodah." Why did you choose [01:48:30] this topic specifically, Haggai? [01:48:33] First of all, it's advanced, that in fact [01:48:37] the words are. Truly, first of all, when I wrote it, I didn't write it with [01:48:56] any literary thought [01:48:59] or anything like that, but simply from the heart, what I felt [01:49:03] connected with me. Do you remember a difficult [01:49:06] moment in the war? [01:49:10] Yes, as a doctor, I had situations treating [01:49:14] wounded, and also, unfortunately, [01:49:15] deceased. [01:49:18] And... [01:49:21] I was also a reservist doctor, I was a reservist [01:49:25] fighter and an officer in Golani. I also know [01:49:29] the reality of a fighter who is basically preparing [01:49:32] for battle. Haggai, I want to manage to read the prayer, okay? Our time has been [01:49:36] cut short unfortunately due to the news events. I want to read to all of you [01:49:39] the prayer of Dr. Haggai Stern and we will pair it with [01:49:43] Ishay Ribo's song, "Seder Ha'avoda" and you will be able to see how [01:49:47] the stories of the Temple from 2000 years ago connect [01:49:51] to the stories of the fighters. On October 7th [01:49:54] and afterwards, he arrived in the south, turned his face [01:49:57] north. They brought him olive robes and he wore them. [01:50:01] He went in to retrieve the weapon and the magazines. They brought him a combat [01:50:04] vest and he wore it. He would pray a short prayer [01:50:08] and would not prolong his prayer. Behold, [01:50:11] with the soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces, Your [01:50:13] people's envoys, who are going to war today against their enemies, [01:50:17] strengthen and empower us. Fight our battle, wage [01:50:21] our war. He entered the place [01:50:24] he entered, and fought in the place he fought. [01:50:27] And he would count, October [01:50:30] 7th, 2, 1, fire. [01:50:34] They brought him his own clothes and he wore them, and they [01:50:37] escorted him home, and it was a good day [01:50:41] for his loved ones when he returned safely from [01:50:44] the battle. He entered the place he entered [01:50:47] and stood in the place [01:50:49] he stood. One. [01:50:58] He came from where he came and went to where [01:51:02] he went. [01:51:04] He removed his ordinary clothes, put on white [01:51:07] clothes. [01:51:09] And he would say, "Lord, forgive [01:51:13] the sins, iniquities, and transgressions [01:51:16] that I have committed before You, I [01:51:19] and my household." [01:51:23] And if a person could remember their [01:51:25] flaws, their shortcomings, all [01:51:29] the transgressions, all [01:51:32] the iniquities, [01:51:35] surely he would count them, one, one [01:51:38] and one, one and two, [01:51:41] one and three, one and four, one [01:51:45] and five. [01:51:47] He would immediately despair, because he couldn't get out, and this is how [01:51:51] you write, Haggai, at the end of your prayer, following October [01:51:54] 7th: "Fortunate is the nation that is not like this," [01:51:58] "Fortunate is the nation whose protectors are these," [01:52:01] "May it be Your will that this year [01:52:04] that comes upon us and upon all Your people Israel, [01:52:07] wherever they may be, be a year of light, a year [01:52:10] of blessing, a year of salvation, a year [01:52:14] of comfort, a year of redemption for captives, a year [01:52:17] of healing for Your people's wounded, a year [01:52:20] of favor, a year of peace." [01:52:30] About this parallel between the High Priest and the fighters who enter [01:52:34] battle, actually both he and he are public [01:52:36] representatives. And both have a family [01:52:40] and the people of Israel waiting for them to return [01:52:42] safely. And we also pray, God willing, [01:52:46] that all our public representatives today will return safely, in good health, [01:53:48] world, a man who... [01:53:52] was a journalist who was a legend and perhaps one [01:53:56] of the bravest journalists I knew and worked [01:53:59] with. I'll tell you just one [01:54:03] story. A quite typical one. One day [01:54:07] in the afternoon, an hour or two before the international [01:54:10] hour, Gideon calls and he's on [01:54:14] the phone. "Listen, I'm in Damascus [01:54:16] now. Uh, and it seems to me that it's worth it for us to try [01:54:20] on the way, yes, a jump." [01:54:35] It was typical because he would make those phone calls shortly [01:54:38] before the program from various destinations, from Iran [01:54:41] for example, from Chad, [01:54:44] and these are just a few examples, and he of course covered [01:54:47] every possible arena and every [01:54:51] possible war. The last one was of course the war [01:55:02] before we say goodbye? Let's hear Gideon in a special [01:55:06] report he brought last night in the diary of Gideon Kuts after he sat [01:55:10] in Tehran, where he filmed these pictures during [01:55:12] the week. It started with great hope [01:55:16] on Thursday, the eve of the elections. Tehran is preparing for the great [01:55:19] change whose buds have been felt for several [01:55:22] weeks. In the hotel, we are sitting with two [01:55:25] of the senior advisors of the candidate who seems to be winning, Mir Hossein [01:55:29] Mousavi, both of whom are currently in detention. They are drowning in [01:55:33] plans for a better future. We [01:55:41] must part in memory of Gideon [02:00:16] Hello everyone and good afternoon. It's two o'clock now, and we have a news [02:00:19] update. First, to the shooting attack at the spring [02:00:22] near Nof Tzuf in Binyamin. At Beilinson Hospital [02:00:25] in Petah Tikva, the death of the injured man in the attack was pronounced. A resident [02:00:29] of Samaria, about 30 years old. The search for the terrorist continues. [02:00:33] These were the first moments of the attack, as documented by the bathers [02:00:36] at the spring. Is there [02:00:38] color here?
