With the military on high alert and additional infantry battalions paratroopers and Nachal brigades flooding the Chevron region prayers it seems are the only ammunition of everyone else. “Our joint prayers have the power to save these kidnapped children ” chief rabbi RavDavidLau told students at theMekorChaimyeshivah inKfarEtzionwhere Naftali and Gil-Ad are students. “Our enemies can’t stand to see us living in this Holy Land but the Jewish People will not be broken as long as we call Heavenward with one heart…”Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has called for “emergency investigative measures” (which means house-to-house searches mass arrests of dozen of Hamas operatives and physical pressure to extract information) while the Shin Bet secret service — which knows every inch of the territory and is sensitive to every irregularity in Judea and Samaria — is still trying to find the missing link in the kidnapping mystery. Based on collected information it’s safe to assume that they have a pretty clear picture of what happened last Thursday night when the boys entered or were forced into the vehicle (or vehicles) but what they don’t know is who exactly are the kidnappers (although they are tracking two Hamas operatives who have been missing since last Thursday) and where the captives are being held if they are indeed still alive.
