A new agricultural farm, "Eitan Farm," has been inaugurated in Har Bracha, Samaria, one year after the death of Second Lieutenant Eitan Ben Yitzhak, who fell in battle in Rafah. The farm, established on approximately 6,000 dunams, fulfills a dream Eitan had for the area. Six families have already moved into temporary housing on the site, with construction underway. Eitan Ben Yitzhak, who served in the Egoz unit and Bahad 1, was killed in Gaza on September 18th. His father, Nachshon Ben Yitzhak, spoke at the ceremony about transforming grief into action, stating, "We have turned longing into deed and the dream into reality." He added that Eitan's spirit guides them as they build and settle the land. Rabbi Eliezer Melamed blessed the new settlers, emphasizing the commandment of settling the land. Yossi Dagan, Head of the Samaria Regional Council, connected Eitan's memory to the farm's establishment, calling it a "clear Zionist answer" to enemies and envisioning Har Bracha becoming a large city. He expressed gratitude to Eitan's family and the pioneering families settling the land.
