Israel uncovers major Hamas cell plotting attack in Jerusalem

WATCH: “Judeacation” with Josh Hasten

“Judeacation” takes viewers to the heart of Judea and Samaria, where history, faith and modern Israel meet.

Hosted by JNS Middle East correspondent Josh Hasten, the series dispels myths and misconceptions about life in the region the world calls the “West Bank,” but which Jews know as the cradle of their civilization. Through on-the-ground reporting and candid conversations with residents, leaders and pioneers, “Judeacation” reveals the truth about the people who live and build in the heart of the Jewish homeland—a place where ancient history and contemporary Zionism intertwine.

Each episode offers a look at the realities of Israel’s heartland, countering media bias with firsthand stories of courage, community and connection to the land. Hasten explores topics ranging from security and sovereignty to faith, culture and innovation, spotlighting those shaping Israel’s future from its biblical core. As Hasten often reminds viewers, Jews are called Jews because they come from Judea. And “Judeacation” is where that story continues to unfold.

In this episode, host Josh Hasten discusses how the IDF thwarted a potentially catastrophic Hamas terror plot in Bethlehem involving over 50 operatives.
