Report: Hamas Plans Int’l “Jihad” on Friday – Muslim Women & Children Leave Samaria for Jordan

Edited by: Fern Sidman

Israel remains on high alert following a tragic attack that unfolded on Saturday when armed groups of bloodthirsty Hamas terrorists from Gaza invaded the country, leaving over 1200 dead and close to 300 seriously wounded among Jewish communities near the Gaza border as well as taking over 100 hostages into the Gaza Strip, as was reported on Wednesday on the Frontline News web site. The situation is deeply concerning, with Hamas calling for more violence this coming Friday. Amidst this atmosphere of uncertainty, reports have emerged of significant movements of Muslim women and children from Samaria towards Jordan, raising alarm among the region’s residents, the report at frontline.news said.

Elhanan Friedlow, a resident of the Eastern Benjamin region, has reported witnessing over 27 large taxi vans filled with Muslim women and children approaching the Allenby Bridge that connects Samaria with Jordan. Frontline News also reported that these convoys reportedly originated from the village of Al Mughayyir and continued to collect more passengers in the village of Duma while attempting to circumvent IDF checkpoints by traveling through fields. IDF personnel at one of the checkpoints confirmed that passengers were carrying plane tickets. Unconfirmed reports suggest that Jordanian authorities have halted the convoy at the border.

While the evacuation of Muslim women and children is ongoing in Lebanon, the situation has led to growing concerns among Jewish communities in Samaria, according to the Frontline News report. Many residents receive limited military protection against violent attacks from surrounding Muslim villages and are worried about their safety. With Israeli troops engaged on multiple fronts, including countering Hezbollah in the north and dealing with the situation in the south, there is a growing sense of unease and uncertainty, the report at Frontline News said.

The observation of armored vehicles moving towards the Israeli border from Jordan adds another layer of complexity to the situation. The report added that these developments align with predictions made by security analysts two decades ago in a 2000 report that detailed preparations for a Palestinian Authority first strike in Judea and Samaria.

A supplementary document, the Judea Samaria (Yesha) Defense Initiative, outlines a plan for addressing these types of situations. It advocates a triple-layered defense system consisting of early warning, interceptor vehicles, and local defense systems, as was indicated in the Frontline News report. This defensive strategy aims to deter any first strike and protect the lives of those living in the region. Importantly, the plan focuses on providing a strong deterrent without any offensive capability.

It is essential to note that no defense system is perfect, and the purpose of any such system is to delay, deter, and complicate an enemy’s assault, as was stated in the Frontline News report. The Yesha Defense Initiative, if implemented, could significantly deter any potential attacks and contribute to a safer environment for all residents. These challenging times call for careful observation, preparedness, and an emphasis on concrete solutions in the face of escalating tensions.

In short, this is how the system works:

Frontline News reported that the system comprises three key components, which together create a formidable deterrent against any threats:

Early Warning System: The first element of the initiative involves a network of trained observers equipped with communication and optical equipment. Their primary role is to provide early warning signs when a first strike is imminent. This element is essential in disrupting the element of surprise, which can significantly reduce the aggressor’s confidence in initiating a first strike. By diminishing this confidence, the Early Warning System serves as a critical pillar in preventing such attacks from happening in the first place.

Interceptor Vehicles: The second layer of defense builds upon the early warnings provided by the first element. This segment consists of a network of interceptor vehicles, each equipped with barriers designed to block, disable, or destroy enemy armored vehicles. These vehicles are strategically positioned to intercept and neutralize threats before they reach the yishuv (settlement). Intercepting potential threats at this stage further enhances the safety of the community.

Local Defense System: The third component of the system focuses on destroying any armored or hostile forces that manage to escape the second level of defense. This component ensures that any potential threats are dealt with swiftly and effectively, thereby safeguarding the yishuv and its residents.

Each of the three components of the system offers increased deterrence individually. However, the true strength of the Yesha Defense Initiative lies in the synergy of these elements when combined, according to the Frontline News report. Together, they create a powerful deterrent that significantly reduces the likelihood of an attack.

Continued inaction in the face of mounting security threats only serves to embolden potential aggressors, who may believe that they can easily overcome the defenses in place, as was indicated in the Frontline News report.  Implementing the Yesha Defense Initiative, on the other hand, conveys a clear message that any first strike will be met with a formidable defense, thereby encouraging potential aggressors to reconsider their actions.

By enhancing the effectiveness of deterrence through the Yesha Defense Initiative, the safety of residents and the stability of the region can be better secured.

CALLING FOR JIHAD

According to reliable but unidentified source in the religious Muslim world, Khalid Mashal the leader and founding member of Hamas gave a speech on Wednesday asking Muslims all around the world to do the following:

1. To show anger, especially next Friday, in Muslim countries and also among those in the Muslim diaspora around the world. He called it “the Friday of Al-Aqsa flood” and said this will send a message of rage to Zionists and to America.
2. He asked for financial help from all Muslims around the world and called it “Financial Jihad”. He asked Muslims to give money to the fighters of Gaza in order to compensate them for the destruction that the area has sustained.

3.He asked for political pressure to be generated from Muslim leaders and Muslim nations, to stop Israel’s military invasion of Gaza.

4.The most important thing: He asked all Muslims around the world to carry Jihad by their souls; to fight and be martyrs for Al-Aqsa.

He wants Muslims to fight against the Jews, starting with Muslims who live in the countries surrounding Israel such as Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt (but also other countries), to go to the borders and try to enter, each by his own means. He said that this is the time for Jihad to be applied on the ground rather than just in theory. He asked the Mujahedeen to go in long caravans to spoll their blood on the land of Palestine.

These are his final words: Funds are important but today we are asking for your blood and souls to be sacrificed for Palestine.
