But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You. For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield. (Psalm 5:11-12) The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has launched Operation Brothers Keeper to find the young Israeli civilians—Eyal Yifrach, 19, Gilad Shaar, 16, and Naftali Frenkel, 16—who were kidnapped in the Gush Etzion region of Judea and Samaria, directly south of Jerusalem and Bethlehem. Among the units participating in the operation to find the missing teens is Sky Rider, which is using drones in the search. We open up (operational) space for the fighters, scan routes and rooftops, and give the ground forces a level-forward picture, also during their exit from villages, as to ensure that no riots or burning of tires take place, a senior official in the unit said. The fighters work all night, sleep in the morning for several hours and wake up at noon to receive orders for the next night. Overnight Wednesday, the unit helped in the arrest of 65 Palestinians, including 50 of the 1,027 prisoners who were released in the prisoner exchange deal to free IDF soldier Gilad Shalit. Since Friday, at least 340 terrorist suspects have been arrested: of them, 250 are associated with Hamas. Abbas finally made his first direct public comments on Wednesday to foreign ministers of Muslim states gathered in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, saying, The missing settlers in the West Bank are human beings like us, and we must look for them and return them to their families. Nevertheless, on Thursday, Hamas and Fatah clashed over the conciliatory nature of Abbas speech. Hamas accused him of conforming to the Israeli narrative in condemning the kidnapping. Meanwhile, Palestinian celebrations have included sweets and cakes passed out in PA streets in the wake of the kidnappings.
