Over the weekend, a Hezbollah-launched rocket claimed the lives of 12 Druze Israeli children playing soccer in the Golan village of Majdal Shams. Prime Minister Netanyahu cut his trip to the United States short and held security consultations on how Israel would respond to this heinous attack. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says that the Druze are vowing that Hezbollah will pay a steep price for murdering their children, and that Israel should follow their lead when handling enemies bent on the demise of the Jewish State.

New Neighborhoods and Neutralized Terrorists
On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh jumps from topic to topic in a week which saw the announcement of a new Jewish neighborhood in Hebron, while IDF forces neutralized a terror cell in that same area, which had been making a habit of trying to murder Israeli motorists on the roads. Also, did you realize that 2,600 rockets have been fired at Israel by terrorists from Gaza in the past two years alone? Someone is keeping score, but will someone finally do what it takes to stop the rockets? All of this and much more on today’s show.

Surviving a Direct Rocket Hit
On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an interview with Rabbi Dovid Fendel, the head of the Hesder Yeshiva in Sderot. This past Thursday night, terrorists in Gaza launched a rocket, which slammed into one of the Yeshiva’s buildings causing damage. While the students were shaken up, miraculously there were no serious injuries. Rabbi Fendel says that on one hand, his institution is leading the way in growing and thriving and building in Sderot, but on the other hand, he says that the reality under the constant threat of rocket fire is unacceptable. Rabbi Fendel shares some of his thoughts as to what Israel should do to stop the rocket attacks.
The Significance of the Golan
On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an interview with Yisrael “Winkie” Medad – Jerusalem Post columnist and Research Fellow at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center, on President’s Trump’s tweet indicating that it’s time for the United States to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Medad explains from a historical, legal, and security perspective why the Golan should always be in Israeli hands. Also on the show, Josh shares his reactions to this morning’s terrorist rocket attack from Gaza in which seven Israelis were wounded in a community north of Tel Aviv.
