"Some 50 Land of Israel loyalists entered Jericho and, for the first time in a decade and placed an Israeli flag at the ancient Shalom Al Yisrael synagogue in the city.
The entry was coordinated between the IDF and the PA police force. Some 20 soldiers, 50 armed PA policemen, and 50 mostly youthful members of the Jericho Group took part in the event.
'We were able to place a flag on the roof,' said one of the organizers, Meir Bertler, 'and even to install a mezuzah on the doorpost, without anyone noticing. When the PA forces finally noticed, they just wanted to get us out of there as fast as possible and they barely reacted to the flag.'"
