The new Hashomer organization is an
educational and Zionist social organization established in 2007 by a group of
country-loving volunteers to safeguard state land while assisting and
empowering farmers and enforcement agencies, alongside connecting citizens and
young people to the land, love of the land and Zionist identity.
Since its founding, the new guard has
reinforced the sense of love of the tens of thousands of volunteers who help
hundreds of farmers and national bodies to protect state land, all while
discussing and studying Zionist values.
About
150 volunteers with jeeps and 4-by-4’s, area-loving vehicles, harnessed their
hobby for this purpose. Combining affection for field leadership with
helpful tours contributes to reducing agricultural crime incidents in the areas
of activity and creates high quality and cohesive volunteer groups.
Since
the establishment of the Jeeps, about 50,000 hectares are being scanned every
night. The unit assisted in reducing crime rates in its locations to
0%. In the past year, she has taken part in the search for 200 alpine
goats stolen in the prairie, in pursuit of Lakhish thieves and more.
Volunteer guards create a presence in
farms and farm areas but to expand
the conserved areas, mounted tours are also required.
The jeep unit allows assistance to some farmers in keeping
the open spaces at night.
Volunteers are another pair of eyes in the field. They independently tour, their private vehicles equipped with suitable equipment. Patrollers scan, locate theft or tampering and damage, and report to regional law enforcement officials

Volunteer guards are present in farmland and farm areas and
are a major deterrent to all agricultural aid activities. The biker unit was
set up to expand the reserved areas through mounted tours.
The motorcycle unit provides assistance to a large number of
farmers in maintaining the open spaces at night. Volunteers independently
patrol private SUVs, finding attempted theft or injury and damage and reporting
to regional law enforcement officials.
Off-road motorcyclists are able to reach a wide area in a
short space of time, even in places where 4X4 vehicles have difficulty. Using a motorcycle, there is an offense
capability that is a great advantage in off-road activity and shortened
response times. The mobility of motorcyclists in the open areas allows the new
guard to respond to crime phenomena more quickly.
The
off-road motorcycle unit is made up of a special bunch of off-road lovers who
have dedicated their hobby to this end. Combining the affection for
driving a motorcycle with helpful tours contributes to reducing agricultural
crime in the areas of activity and creates quality volunteer groups.
In addition to the above described activities there is another important aspect to this group. They host youngsters and send them to farmers to help them in their agricultural work. This is very helpful in attaching the youth to the land by toiling it, a kind of Zionism that was lost in the past decades when pioneering has mostly ceased to be the driving motive for them. Some of my grandchildren are active in this group.
