Esh Kodesh (, lit. ''Sacred Fire'') is an Israeli outpost in the West Bank near Shilo. It falls under the jurisdiction of the Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this. The population in 2005 was under 12 families. ==History== Esh Kodesh was founded in 2000 near Shvut Rachel, one of several such settlements in the area.〔(The extinguishing and rekindling of the `Holy Fire', Haaretz )〕 It was named for a terrorist victim, Esh Kodesh Gilmore, 25, who was murdered by Palestinian terrorists while working as a security guard at a branch of the National Insurance Institute in East Jerusalem.〔(NJ man gets green light to pursue terror lawsuit )〕〔(Disproportionate number of Anglos slain; Olmert praises families' dignity )〕 ''Esh Kodesh'' is also a book of sermons delivered by the Admor of Piaseczno in the Warsaw Ghetto from the outbreak of World War II on September 1, 1939 until July 1942, when the Jews of the ghetto were deported to the death camp at Treblinka.〔(The extinguishing and rekindling of the `Holy Fire', Haaretz )〕 To meet the security challenges of living in an area where their presence generates hostility, they have undergone Mishmeret Yesha self-defense training. In 2010, the Israeli Supreme Court sentenced a resident of Esh Kodesh, the son of Orit Struk, head of the Human Rights Organization of Judea and Samaria, to 18 months in prison for the kidnapping and assault of a Palestinian teenager.〔(Israel Supreme Court extends sentence of settler who assaulted Palestinian ), Haaretz〕 In September 2011 the Israel Defense Forces established a base near Esh Kodesh On September 23, 2011, Israeli security forces were called in to break up a clash between the settlers and a group of 300 villagers from Qusra.〔(While the diplomats haggle, deadly tensions are mounting in the nascent Palestine, The Guardian )〕 Due to the growing tension, residents of Qusra armed with flashlights and sticks began to patrol the perimeter of their village at night to thwart possible incursions by Esh Kodesh settlers.〔(Palestinian statehood bid stokes tensions in West Bank, Washington Post )〕 In early January, 2013, after the Israeli High Court of Justice had ruled that the Palestinians of Qusra should be allowed to use one of their fields near Esh Kodesh, the Israeli Border police tried to enforce the ruling. This led to clashes with the Esh Kodesh settlers, leaving two Border Police injured.〔(Settlers clash with police near Esh Kodesh ), 01/02/2013, Jpost〕 On January 5th, 2013, approximately 200 Palestinians cut through the fences of the vineyard and attacked the vineyards and residents of Esh Kodesh. 12 outpost residents were injured, with one taken to the hospital. The vineyards were destroyed, a security vehicle was damaged and the attackers neared homes before the military arrived. The incident was part of a continuing dispute between the Esh Kodesh settlers and nearby Palestinians over land ownership.〔(IDF: 200 Palestinians attack Esh Kodesh vineyards ), 01/06/2013, Jpost〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Esh Kodesh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
