IDF and Border Police forces raided the village of Ya’bad, near Jenin, the hometown of the Bnei Brak terrorist overnight Tuesday, following the murderous terror attack on Tuesday night. The terrorists’ brother was arrested for allegedly assisting his brother in perpetuating the terror attack and several other relatives were detained and questioned. The soldiers also mapped out the terrorist’s home in preparation for its demolition. As the soldiers entered the terrorist’s home, a large crowd of villagers gathered outside the house and clashes ensued between the Arabs and soldiers. The security forces also continue to operate in northern Israel overnight Tuesday in the wake of the Hadera terror attack perpetrated by Israel-Arab ISIS supporters.

The levaya of Hakodesh Reb Avishai Yechezkel, hy’d, who was murdered in front of his home as he shielded his two-year-old son from the terrorists’ gunfire, took place on Wednesday morning in Bnei Brak. The niftar’s brother, Reb Ovadia Yechezkel, was tearfully maspid his brother: “Last night, the world was turned upside down. I called you and you told me that you hear gunshots. You were scared for me, you told me: ‘Stay at home.’ And then silence – I didn’t hear from you anymore. You shielded your son and you were murdered. You worried more about us than yourself. You displayed true Jewish gevurah – you were murdered al Kiddush Hashem.” “You were the dearest brother, the ben zekunim. You left a bookmark in the Zohar HaKodesh – you were a very lofty soul.

“Citizens of Israel, these are difficult days. Every few years the State of Israel deals with a wave of terrorism. After a period of quiet, there is a violent eruption by those who want to destroy us, those who want to hurt us at any price, whose hatred of Jews, of the State of Israel, drives them crazy. They are prepared to die – so that we will not live in peace. We are currently dealing with a new wave of terrorism. What we witnessed less than a year ago in Operation Guardians of the Walls, the terrorism and the violence, from within Israel and inside Israel, was the first sign.

HaRav Gershon Edelstein shlit”a, spoke about the horrific terror attack in Bnei Brak on Tuesday night. “Yidden have been killed, one of them a talmid chochom,” Rav Gershon said with great sadness. “How did this suddenly happen? Perhaps now that HaRav Chaim Kanievsky zt”l was niftar we are lacking zchusim.” “What must we do? We must strengthen ourselves in three area,” the gadol hador continued. “The world stands on three things: Torah, avodah, and gemilus chasadim. Every yid, no matter who they are or what they do, must strengthen themselves in these areas.” “As much as you can, learn more Torah, obtain more yiras shamayim, work on your middos, and learn sifrei mussar,” Rav Gershon said.

Rosh Yeshivah, HaGaon HaRav Baruch Dov Povarsky, spoke words of hesped last week to hundreds of avreichim in the Keter Torah network of HaGaon HaRav Yechezkel Abramov. During his speech, HaRav Povarsky said tearfully: “Truthfully, I already don’t have koach. I can only cry and cry. And only after crying, I want to say – the hesped is that the hespedim of tzaddikim prevent puraniyas (punishment). When HaRav Chaim, z’tl, was with us, we were sure that there wouldn’t be explosions [in Bnei Brak].” “Rav Chaim, z’tl, wasn’t afraid [of attacks] and the Chazon Ish wasn’t afraid – there would be no explosions in Bnei Brak.” “But what will be now?” the Rosh Yeshivah bemoaned.
