A record number of over 100,000 people visited settlement sites in Judea and Samaria during the intermediate days of the Sukkot holiday. According to a statement released by the Religious Zionism party on Friday, visitors toured agricultural farms and new communities over the six-day festival. The tours focused on familiarizing visitors with these locations and connecting them to national security, highlighting their geographical proximity to central Israel and population centers. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who concluded the activity from the "Chasdei Olam" farm in the Binyamin region, stated that tens of thousands of families visited 104 new communities and 160 farms.
