A morning prayer was held Thursday morning in the town of Ganim, as documented in a social media post by security analyst Yair Goldblatt, who reported the community had been re-established earlier today. The prayer gathering, which shows residents praying at the site, is the first documented religious activity following the community's formal re-establishment.
The Zioneer reported at 09:36 Jerusalem that Ganim was formally re-established in a ceremony attended by Defense Minister Israel Katz and Communications Minister Shlomo Kariv, and that families had already moved into the site. The ceremony marked 21 years since the community's evacuation in the 2005 disengagement. The re-establishment of Ganim is part of a broader effort to restore Jewish communities in northern Samaria.
Goldblatt's documentation post does not include further details on the prayer gathering's organization or attendance. No additional official statements regarding the prayer have been released.
