Many are questioning why there is a disproportionate number of frum Jews wounded and killed in the ongoing wave of Islamic terror that has been striking out in major cities as well as throughout Yehuda and Shomron.
The experts believe the reason is simple. It is explained the terrorists want to be certain that they murder Jews, and what better way to identify a Jew than by his kippa or chareidi garb.
In the two attacks on Thursday, 7 Kislev, in southern Tel Aviv and Gush Etzion Junction, many if not most of the victims were davening mincha.
It is added this is the reason soldiers are also targeted in larger numbers even though they are often armed. The terrorists are aware the overwhelming number of soldiers are Jewish and they feel even more compelled to attack members of the “occupational security forces”.

It is because the greatest weapon Yishmael has is their Tefilla. After all, they do it 5 times a day. And the greatest weapon AGAINST Yishmael is OUR power of Tefilla. As Pirkei deRibbi Eliezer says (chapter 32), he is called Yishmael since HKB”H will hear our cries out to Him in the End of Days.
Who are the ones praying to HKB”H? The frum Jews – and the Arabs know this. They know that their demise is our power of prayer. They therefore target frum Jews.
And where? Anywhere they find us, but especially if we are praying. They attack shuls and office Minha rooms. Did you ever wonder why they go crazy if Jews pray on Har Habayit?
May our power of Tefilla intensify and vastly outweigh their power of Tefilla to bring about their demise and the coming of Mashiah Tzidkeinu speedily and with mercy, Amen.

Terrorists know that a large percentage of Chareidim are anti-Zionists. And they don’t care.
It is the Jew they want to kill just as all the Jew haters have done throughout the centuries. We, chareidim, are the ultimate representation of who Jews are.
Anti-Zionists, stop blaming Zionism ( not that I personally am a big fan of the Israeli gov, I just don’t blame them for antisemitism) for the hatred that we have experienced at the hands of reshaim for CENTURIES! Nutrina, and other anti-Zionist groups, stop putting in ads in goyishe newspapers against your own Jewish brothers, the Israeli gov and Zionists. Our enemies are very happy to see Jews fighting. You are NOT doing a mitzvah and they hate you either way.Instead, fight secular Zionism by supporting causes that make baal teshivas and YOU turn to Hashem, NOT to goyim with your “explanations” that will get you nowhere, to establish a real Jewish government by sending moshiach.
Stupid…so let’s get killed for dressing like a yid..
Very bad article, something YNET would wrote
But of course Hashem has HIS reasons. Let’s give it thought.
Maybe so we should look in the mirror and see ourselves as part and responsible for all yidden, not as a separate elite… Maybe…
That is a question only a Gadol BiYisroel can answer. We don’t need to hear these kefira boech svaros.
so maybe Chareidim should start looking like non-frum Jews

Experts schmexperts. HKBH sends His messages to those who can understand His language. If only we would improve our Bein Odom Lachavero (and obviously our Bein Odom Lamokom too) these attacks would stop soon enough
Maybe it is time for the religious parties in the Knesset to stop crying about budgets (Charedi) and settlements (Zionists) and start working to fight the Arab terror and ban Arab labor in Jewish towns.
How could we possible say such a superficial explanation. When we all know that nothing that ever happens in Ertz Yisroel ever has to do with Derach Hateva. This is a message from hashem to US!!! This is a perfect example of Im Halachta emi Keri!! We recognize that this is from hashem and he will save us.
Possibly it’s because even frum people need to work on themselves.
the reason may be that most attacks happen outside the green line at the shtachim where its pretty much only religois
Editor: Please provide the source for this article. Experts? Who are they?
And the article equates that at both attacks the victims were Davening. This is simply not true. In Gush Etzion, they were traveling in a car.
I was at most 1 mile away and I heard the gun shots.
And the underling premise of the article is wrong. They kill indescrimently. For example, a Palestinian in the row of cars that were shot at was also killed.
And Druse police officers and IDF soldiers have also been killed.
I’ve noticed on more than one occasion that you post articles that have an underlying agenda.
Stop drinking the Frum Cool Aid and recognize that there is no agenda of the terrorists to kill Frum Jews specifically.. But to destroy the Zionist State, both religious and secular.
