Itamar Cohen
Itamar Cohen is a prominent Israeli agricultural pioneer in Samaria and the owner of 'Itamar's Farm'. He was seriously wounded in a terror attack on July 23, 2026.
Itamar Cohen is a central figure in the Israeli agricultural farm movement in Judea and Samaria. Known as one of the founders of the agricultural farms project, Cohen established and operates 'Itamar's Farm' (Havat Itamar) in the Samaria region. These farms are often viewed as vital components of Israeli national resilience, serving both as productive agricultural enterprises and as a means of maintaining a presence on state lands in strategic areas.
On Thursday, July 23, 2026, Cohen was identified as the victim of a serious terror attack in Samaria. Initial reports from Israeli media outlets, including N12 and Army Radio, confirmed that he sustained severe injuries during the incident. The attack occurred amidst a period of heightened security tension across Israel and the territories. Cohen's role in the settlement movement and his dedication to the agricultural frontier have made him a well-known personality among the resident communities of Judea and Samaria.
As a pioneer of the farm model, Cohen has been instrumental in a movement that combines land stewardship with security-conscious settlement. His farm is recognized for its contribution to the local economy and its role in the broader Zionist mission of land cultivation. Following the attack, he was evacuated for medical treatment, with the Israeli public and leadership monitoring his condition closely. The incident underscores the ongoing security challenges faced by Israeli civilians and farmers operating in the Samaria region.
