In an opinion piece, Pa’ar Li Shahar argues that Jewish terrorism in Judea and Samaria is now organizing into an anti-state resistance front, while designated Prime Minister Gadi Eisenkot has yet to place it at the center of priorities. The article quotes Dr. Idan Yaron, a far-right researcher, who defines the extremist groups by two characteristics: rejection of liberal democracy and striving to establish a Torah or Halakha state. Yaron describes how teenagers aged 15-17 abuse Palestinians, burn, destroy, and shoot, sometimes defined as self-defense. The article mentions Elisha Yered as a prominent leader, and cites a September 2026 INSS report defining Jewish terrorism as a "clear strategic threat." It also includes criticism by former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert against Central Command Major General Avi Bluth, who he claims assists Jewish rioters. The article calls for decisive action against the phenomenon.
