Chris: THIS WEEK ON

"JERUSALEM DATELINE,"

AFTER NEARLY FOUR YEARS,

PASTOR SAEED ABEDINI HAS

BEEN RELEASED FROM AN

IRANIAN PRISON.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR

HIS FAMILY?

AND OUR RELATIONS WITH THE

ISLAMIC REPUBLIC.

PLUS...AN ISLAMIC EXPERT

TELLS WHAT IS REALLY

BEHIND THE CURRENT WAVE OF

PALESTINIAN VIOLENCE.

AND HEAR THE FIRSTHAND

ACCOUNT OF WHAT HAPPENED

DURING THE ATTACKS IN

BENGHAZI.

HELLO, AND WELCOME TO THIS

EDITION OF "JERUSALEM

DATELINE."

I'M CHRIS MITCHELL.

AFTER MORE THAN A DECADE,

ECONOMIC SANCTIONS AGAINST

IRAN HAVE BEEN LIFTED, BUT

ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU SAYS

THE ISSUE IS STILL THE

SAME.

IRAN MUST NOT BE ALLOWED

TO GET NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

CBN CORRESPONDENT JULIE

STAAL HAS THAT STORY.

Reporter: ISRAEL SAYS

EVEN THOUGH THE NUCLEAR

DEAL WITH TEHRAN HAS BEEN

IMPLEMENTED, IRAN MUST NOT

BE TRUSTED.

THE WHOLE INTERNATIONAL

COMMUNITY WILL HAVE TO BE

EXTREMELY WATCH FULL AND

EXTREMELY VIGILANT BECAUSE

WE CANNOT TRUST IRAN TO

FULLY IMPLEMENT THE

AGREEMENT.

AND EVEN IF THEY DO

IMPLEMENT THE AGREEMENT,

ONE HAS TO REMEMBER IT IS

LIMITED IN TIME.

IT IS LIMITED TO 10 OR 15

YEARS.

Reporter: NETANYAHU

FOUGHT A LOSING BATTLE

AGAINST THE IRANIAN

NUCLEAR AGREEMENT FOR

YEARS.

SAUDI ARABIA AND THE GULF

STATES ALSO OPPOSE THE

DEAL.

THEY SAID IT WOULD

LEGITIMIZE IRAN AS A

NUCLEAR THRESHOLD STATE.

IT ALLOWED THE LIFTING OF

SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAN AND

PUTS BILLIONS OF DOLLARS

OF RESOURCES IN THEIR

HANDS.

FOREIGN MINISTRY SPOKESMAN

EMMANUEL NOCCHAN SHOWED

CBN NEWS THAT IRAN'S

AMBITIONS GO FAR BEHIND

ITS NUCLEAR PUR SUIT.

IRAN IS NOT ONLY

ENGAGED IN NUCLEAR

ACTIVITIES, BUT IT IS

ENGAGED IN SUBVERSIVE

ACTIVITIES.

YOU CAN SEE THEM IN SYRIA,

YEMEN, HEZBOLLAH, AND

OTHER PLACES IN THE

REGION.

WHICH IS ORCHESTRATED BY

TEHRAN.

Reporter: PRESIDENT

OBAMA HAILED THE

IMPLEMENTATION DAY OF THE

DEAL AS A VICTORY.

IT ALSO INCLUDED THE

RELEASE OF FIVE AMERICANS

FROM IRANIAN PRISON, AND

THE SPEEDY RELEASE OF U.S.

SAILORS CAPTURED IN

IRANIAN WATERS LAST WEEK.

HE SAYS ISRAEL HAS HAD

EXPERIENCE WITH ITS

CITIZENS BEING CAPTURED BY

TERRORISTS.

ON A HUMANITARIAN AND

PERSONAL LEVEL, OF COURSE

WE'RE ALL VERY HAPPY.

PEOPLE TAKEN HOSTAGES BY

TERRORISTS SHOULD BE

RELEASED.

BUT DOES IT MAKE THE

TERRORIST LESS TERRORIST?

THE ANSWER IS NO.

Reporter: IN THE

MEANTIME, NOCCHAN SAYS

ISRAEL WILL HAVE TO LIVE

WITH THE DEAL, EVEN THOUGH

THE POTENTIAL FOR DANGER

IS HUGE.

JULIE STAAL, CBN NEWS,

JERUSALEM.

Chris: WE'RE GETTING

A LOOK AT THE FIRST

PICTURE OF PASTOR SAEED

ABEDINI AFTER HIS RELEASE

FROM AN IRANIAN PRISON.

IN THIS PHOTO, HE IS

STANDING ALONG NORTH

CAROLINA CONGRESSMAN

ROBERT PITTENGER.

HE MET WITH PASTOR SAEED

AS PART OF A U.S.

DELEGATION TO WELCOME HIM

HOME.

George: FIRST OFF,

HOW IS HE DOING?

HE IS DOING VERY, VERY

WELL.

HIS SPIRITS ARE GREAT.

HE LOOKS IN GOOD PHYSICAL

HEALTH.

I THINK THE IRANIANS HAD

PROBABLY PRE-DETERMINED

THEY WOULD BE RELEASING

HIM, SO THEY TOOK GOOD

CARE OF HIM, I THINK, THE

LAST SIX MONTHS.

George: CAN YOU TALK

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ANY

PHYSICAL CHALLENGES THAT

HE HAS?

WE'VE BEEN REPORTING FOR

SEVERAL YEARS ABOUT SOME

OF THE EXPERIENCES HE WENT

THROUGH IN PRISON,

SPECIFICALLY REPORTS OF

TORTURE AND SO FORTH.

ARE THERE ANY

REPERCUSSIONS FROM THOSE

YEARS?

I THINK HE HAS COME OUT

OF IT VERY WELL, MENTALLY,

PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY.

HE IS ENGAGED.

WE DIDN'T GET INTO A LOT

OF THE TORTURE ASPECTS.

WE JUST TALKED ABOUT HIS

FUTURE AND HIS LIFE.

AND, YOU KNOW, HE HAS BEEN

THROUGH A LOT.

IT HAS BEEN A LONG JOURNEY

THAT HE HAS BEEN THROUGH,

AND HE IS A DIFFERENT

PERSON TODAY.

AND HE HAS GOT A LONG

JOURNEY AHEAD OF HIM.

George: YOU CAN HEAR

MORE OF THIS INTERVIEW, AS

WELL AS CBN'S EXTENSIVE

COVERAGE OF PASTOR ABEDINI

ON cbnnews.com.

> AS AMERICA CELEBRATES

THE RELEASE OF ITS

CITIZENS FROM AN IRANIAN

PRISON, CONCERNS ARE

GROWING OVER THE PRISONER

SWAP.

CRITICS SAY THE DEAL IS

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF

AMERICAN WEAKNESS, AND

MANY IN THE U.S. AND

ISRAEL BELIEVE IRAN CANNOT

BE TRUSTED.

GARY LANE HAS MORE.

Reporter: DURING AN

INTERVIEW WITH A TVTATION

IN BOISE, IDAHO, NAGHMEH

ABEDINI CALLED HER

HUSBAND'S RELEASE SURREAL

AND UNBELIEVABLE.

SHE SAYS IT WILL TAKES

TIME TO ADAPT ONCE HER

HUSBAND, SAEED, RETURNS

HOME.

I'M A DIFFERENT PERSON,

HE IS A DIFFERENT PERSON.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS

AT PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY,

AND OUR FAMILY WOULD NEED

TIME TO RE-ADJUST.

AND THAT'S GOING TO BE THE

NEXT STEP.

AND WE'RE ASKING FOR

PRAYER.

Reporter: BUT SOME

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL

CANDIDATES CRITICIZED THE

DEAL THAT SET THE

AMERICANS FREE FROM

PRISON, SAYING IT SET A

BAD PRECEDENT.

IT PROVES ONCE AGAIN

THAT NOW NATIONS AND

ENEMIES OF AMERICA AROUND

THE WORLD KNOW THERE IS A

PRICE FOR AMERICANS.

IF YOU TAKE AMERICANS

HOSTAGE, BARACK OBAMA WILL

CUT A DEAL WITH YOU.

Reporter: AND DONALD

TRUMP SAYS, QUOTE,"WE GIVE

THEM ESSENTIALLY

$1 BILLION, AND WE GIVE

THEM 22 PEOPLE, AND WE'RE

GETTING BACK FOUR PEOPLE

WHO DIDN'T DO ANYTHING

WRONG.

THAT'S THE WAY WE

NEGOTIATE.

THAT'S THE WAY WE

NEGOTIATED.

IT'S SO SAD.

IT'S SO SAD."

PRESIDENT OBAMA SAYS THE

PRISON DEAL AND THE

NUCLEAR AGREEMENT WITH

IRAN SERVES AS A REMINDER

OF WHAT AMERICA CAN

ACHIEVE WHEN IT LEADS WITH

STRENGTH AND WISDOM.

BUT THE PRESIDENT'S

POSITIVE SPIN ON THE DEALS

IS UN:30L UNLIKELY TO CHANGE

ATTITUDES TOWARDS IRAN.

MANY AMERICANS STILL

DISTRUST IRAN.

GARY LANE, CBN NEWS.

Chris: SEVERAL

AMERICANS ARE MISSING IN

BAGHDAD.

THE U.S. EMBASSY CONFIRMS

THEY'RE MISSING, AND IT IS

WORKING WITH IRAQI

AUTHORITIES TO FIND THEM.

THE NEWS COMES AS THE

SECURITY SITUATION IN

BAGHDAD SEEMS TO BE

SLIPPING.

MORE THAN 50 PEOPLE DIED

IN ATTACKS IN THE CAPITAL

IN NEARBY AREAS RECENTLY.

BAGHDAD HAD BEEN MOSTLY

CALM FOR MONTHS.

> PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY

CHAIRMAN MAHMOUD ABBAS

SUMMONED THE ISRAELI PRESS

TO RAMALLAH.

HE DENIED CHARGES BY

ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU THAT HE

REFUSES TO MEET WITH THE

ISRAELI LEADER.

HE SAID HE WAS EVEN

SNUBBED BY THE PRIME

MINISTER'S OFFICE

RECENTLY, A CHARGE

NETANYAHU'S OFFICE DENIED.

SPEAKING IN A PUBLIC

INTERVIEW WITH CNN'S

FARID, AT THE WORLD TRADE

CENTER ECONOMIC FORUM IN

DAVOS, NETANYAHU SAID

TALKS WERE UP TO ABBAS.

WE HAVEN'T BEEN WALKING

AWAY FROM NEGOTIATIONS.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE

PALESTINIAN LEADERSHIP,

FOR THE PAST SEVEN YEARS,

HAS DECLINED TO MEET WITH

ME.

THEY MET WITH ME FOR SIX

HOURS IN THE FIRST YEAR.

AND SINCE --

Reporter: THEY SAY

YOU CREATE FACTS ON THE

GROUND BY BUILDING THESE

SETTLEMENTS THAT MAKE IT

HIGHLY UNLIKELY THERE WILL

EVER BE A PALESTINIAN

STATE.

THEY SAY THAT, BUT, IN

FACT, THAT IS NOT THE

CASE.

BECAUSE THE SETTLEMENTS

TAKE UP A VERY SMALL

AMOUNT OF LAND.

AND, IN ANY CASE, IT IS

SOMETHING TO BE

NEGOTIATED.

LET'S NEGOTIATE.

Chris: NETANYAHU SAID

FOR YOURS IF THE

PALESTINIAN CONFLICT WAS

RESOLVED, THEN ISRAEL

WOULD HAVE PEACE WITH

NEIGHBORING STATES.

NOW HE SAYS IT IS THE

OPPOSITE.

WARMING RELATIONS IN THE

ARAB WORLD COULD HELP

SOLVE THE ISRAELI

ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN

RELATIONSHIP.

> A ATTACKER WAS JUST 15

YEARS OLD WHO KILLED A

WOMAN IN FRONT OF HER

CHILDREN.

IT IS ONE OF THE LATEST

ATTACKS ISRAELIS HAVE

SUFFERED SINCE LAST

SEPTEMBER.

THAT WAVE OF PALESTINIAN

TERROR ATTACKS HAS KILLED

39 ISRAELIS AND WOUNDED

NEARLY 300.

MOST OF THOSE TERROR

ATTACKS HAVE BEEN

STABBINGS OR SHOOTINGS.

MAGEN, OFTEN THE FIRST

RESPONDERS TO THE SCENE OF

A TERROR ATTACK, HAVE

BEGUN TO TRAIN ORDINARY

PEOPLE HOW TO TREAT A

TERROR VICTIM ON THE

SCENE, EVEN BEFORE THE

MEDICAL PERSONNEL ARRIVE.

WE DECIDED TO DO THIS A

LITTLE AWAY FROM THE

REGULAR TRAINING THAT WE

DO, DUE TO THE CURRENT

ESCALATION THAT HAPPENED

IN ISRAEL, AND THIS TYPE

OF VIOLENCE WE'RE

EXPERIENCING.

AND THERE IS A HIGH

INTEREST IN THE ISRAELI

PUBLIC, TO KNOW WHAT TO DO

AND HOW TO ASSIST OTHERS.

Chris: YAGADOSKI SAYS

HAVING SOMEONE ON THE

SCENE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

TO TREAT A VICTIM IS THE

KEY TO SAVING LIVES.

> UP NEXT, AN ISRAELI

EXPERT TELLS WHAT IS

REALLY BEHIND THIS LATEST

WAVE OF PALESTINIAN

VIOLENCE.

Chris: WELCOME BACK

TO "JERUSALEM DATELINE."

WHAT'S BEHIND THE CURRENT

WAVE OF TERROR?

JULIE STAAL TALKED WITH

ANOT BERCO, AN ISRAEL

CRIMINALIST, LIEUTENANT

COLONEL, AND KNESSET

MEMBER.

FOR YEARS HE HAS MET FACE

TO FACE WITH MANY

PALESTINIAN TERRORISTS,

BOTH MEN AND WOMEN, TO

DISCOVER WHAT'S BEHIND

THIS VICIOUS BEHAVIOR.

AND WHAT SHE DISCOVERED

MAY SURPRISE YOU.

Reporter: DOCTOR,

WELCOME TO "JERUSALEM

DATELINE."

I'M HAPPY TO BE HERE.

Reporter: TELLS ABOUT

THE BOOKS YOU HAVE

WRITTEN?

MY BOOKS DEAL WITH THE

MINDSET OF TERRORISTS.

PART OF THEM SEND OTHERS

TO BLOW THEMSELVES UP, OR

SEND OTHERS TO CARRY OUT

TERROR ATTACKS AND SUICIDE

BOMBERS THAT FAIL, AND

ALSO MY LAST BOOK "IT'S

NOT A BOMB," SPEAKING

ABOUT WOMEN AND CHILDREN

IN TERRORISM.

Reporter: SO WHAT IS

BEHIND THIS CURRENT WAVE

OF TERRORISM THAT WE'RE

SEEING IN ISRAEL RIGHT

NOW?

YOU HAVE DISINCITEMENT

AND SOCIAL MEDIA AGAINST

ISRAEL.

THEY SAY DO WHATEVER YOU

CAN.

CARRY A GUN.

CARRY A STONE.

DO SOMETHING.

MOLOTOV COCKTAIL, OR

SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

AND ALSO THE COLLAPSE OF

THE PATRIOTICAL FAMILY.

THEY CANNOT CONTROL

ANYMORE THE CHILDREN.

IN THIS AGE, WHEN THEY ARE

MINORS, THEIR SEXUAL

IDENTITY IS UNCERTAIN, AND

THEY WANT TO SHOW

THEMSELVES AS MEN.

ABOUT WOMEN, WE SEE MORE

AND MORE WOMEN INVOLVED IN

TERRORISM.

AND I FOUND MANY CASES

THAT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT

WOMEN TRY TO ESCAPE FROM

IN PROPOSED MARRIAGE, OR

INCEST, OR PROBLEMS INSIDE

THEIR FAMILY.

I DEDICATED IT FOR WOMEN

IN THE ISRAELI JAIL, THE

PRISONERS, AND THEY SAY

THEY HAVE MUCH MORE PRISON

IN THE ISRAELI PRISON THAN

IN THEIR HOUSES.

Reporter: WHEN YOU

SPEAK ABOUT THEIR

MOTIVATION FOR CARRYING

OUT THESE ATTACKS, IT

SOUNDS LIKE THINGS THAT

ARE COMING FROM THEIR OWN

FAMILIES, NOT NECESSARILY

THINGS IM PIEWF IMPOSED BY ISRAEL,

LIKE THEY DON'T HAVE

ENOUGH FOOD.

IT IS MORE LIKE A SOCIETY

ISSUE THAT IS DRIVING THEM

FORWARD.

THE ISSUE OF STRUGGLES,

NATIONALITY, REVENGE -- IT

IS THERE FOR EVERYBODY.

AND ALSO IT IS PART OF A

TREND FOR PEOPLE I CALL IN

MY BOOK, "TO BE OR NOT TO

BE," BECAUSE THEY DON'T

HAVE ANY OTHER PLACES.

WHEN YOU STOP A BOY

PLAYING IN THE STREET WITH

HI FACE CONCEALED, HE

WOULDN'T SAY I'D LIKE TO

BE A DOCTOR OR A LAWYER OR

A TEACHER.

HE WOULD SAY, I WOULD LIKE

TO BE A SHI'ITE.

Reporter: THE PEOPLE

THAT ARE CARRYING OUT THE

ATTACKS HERE, WHAT KIND OF

REWARD ARE THEY HOPING TO

ACHIEVE?

IT IS TO GO TO A PLACE

THAT IS MUCH BETTER.

GEMA, WHICH MEANS

PARADISE.

FOR THE MALE, THEY'LL HAVE

73 VIRGINS, WITH NO

PHYSICAL NEED, TO

HEADACHE, WHATEVER.

FOR THE GIRL, SHE

CANNOT SAY I WANT TO HAVE

SEX.

SO SHE WILL BE ONE OF THE

VIRGINS, AND IF SHE WILL

MARRY, SHE WILL MEET HER

HUSBAND.

IF SHE WAS AN ABUSIVE

HUSBAND, HE WILL GO TO

HELL AND SHE'LL GO TO

PARADISE.

Reporter: HOW CAN

ISRAEL STOP THIS CURRENT

WAVE OF VIOLENCE?

THE SECURITY STOPPED

MANY SUICIDE BOMBERS.

THEY TOLD ME IN JAIL, YOU

CANNOT JUST WALK IN AND

BLOW YOURSELF UP.

THE ANOTHER THING WE HAVE

IN OUR SOCIETY, EACH ONE

OF US, SERVE IN THE ARMY,

NOW HO HOW TO USE WEAPONS.

THIS IS SOMETHING WE NEED

TO STOP.

AND TO KNOW THAT IN PARIS

AND NEW YORK AND TEL AVIV

AND IN JERUSALEM -- IT IS

NOT ABOUT ISRAEL.

IT IS ABOUT HOPE.

Chris: COMING UP, AN

INDEPTH INTERVIEW WITH ONE

OF THE HEROS WHO LIVED

THROUGH THE TERROR ATTACKS

IN BENGHAZI.

Chris: WELCOME BACK

TO "JERUSALEM DATELINE."

WHEN TERRORISTS ATTACKED

THE AMERICAN DIPLOMATIC

COMPOUND IN BENGHAZI IN

2010, MEMBERS OF A

SECURITY TEAM FOR THE

C.I.A. STEPPED UP TO

DEFEND MANY AMERICANS.

THE FORMER MEMBERS OF THE

MILITARY SHARED THEIR

COURAGEOUS STORY IN A BOOK

CALLED "13 HOURS."

IT'S NOW A MAJOR MOTION

PICTURE.

I JUST FINISHED THE BOOK,

AND IF THE MOVIE IS

ANYTHING LIKE THE BOOK,

I'M SURE IT'S A POWERFUL

STORY ON THE BIG SCREEN.

EFREM GRAHAM SAT DOWN WITH

ONE OF THE REAL LIFE HEROS

FROM BENGHAZI.

LIBYAN VISAS.

OFFICIAL, PUT IT UP THERE

FOR INSPECTION.

SORRY, SIR, I CAN'T DO

THAT.

PULL OVER FOR

INSPECTION!

HOW WILLING ARE YOU TO

DIE FOR YOUR COUNTRY?

Efrem: "13 HOURS" IS

AN INSIDE ACCOUNT OF WHAT

UNFOLDED IN 13

UNFORGETTABLE HOURS IN

BENGHAZI, LIBYA, ON

SEPTEMBER 11, 2012.

THE BEST SELLING BOOK, AND

NOW MOVIE, IS TOLD FROM

THE PERSPECTIVE OF SIX

FORMER ELITE MILITARY

OPERATORS, ALL HIRED TO

SECURE A C.I.A. ANNEX JUST

A MILE AWAY FROM THE

UNITED STATES DIPLOMATIC

COMPOUND.

EVERYBODY, THIS IS JACK

SILVA.

HE TRAINS SEALS IN

CORONADO, SO HE KNOWS THE

DRILL.

Efrem: ACTOR JOHN

KRASINSKI PLAYS A FORMER

NAVY SEAL WHO REMAINS

ANONYMOUS.

THE POLITICIZING OF THE

ISSUE HAS OVE OVERSHADOWED THE

REAL STORY, WHICH IS THESE

SIX GUYS LAID THEIR LIVES

ON THE LINE TO SAVE THESE

GUYS.

YOU REALIZE ALL OF THE

POLITICS CAME AFTER THAT

MOMENT.

SO WE WERE VERY LUCKY TO

HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO

SORT OF NOT HAVE TO DEAL

WITH ANY OF THE POLITICS

BECAUSE THAT NIGHT THOSE

POLITICS DIDN'T EXIST.

NONE OF YOU HAS TO GO.

BUT WE ARE THE ONLY HELP

THEY HAVE.

Efrem: THE MEN DEFIED

ORDERS TO STAND DOWN AND

RUSHED TO DEFEND THOSE

BEING ATTACKED BY ISLAMIC

MILITANTS AT THE AMERICAN

DIPLOMATIC COMPOUND.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SIX

MEN.

YOU PLAY ONE OF THEM.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE

THAT MAN?

WOW, THAT'S A -- DO WE

HAVE AN HOUR?

IT'S FUNNY, I ACTUALLY GOT

TO MEET THE REAL JACK

SILVA, WHICH WAS THE MOST

VITAL PART OF THE PROCESS

FOR ME.

AND NOT ONLY DID I ADMIRE

HIM AS A MILITARY MAN, BUT

I SAW WHO HE WA WAS, WAS A

VERY UNASSUMING MAN, A

GREAT FAMILY MAN, A GREAT

FATHER.

THAT ADDED A WHOLE NEW

LEVEL OF EMOTION FOR ME

GOING INTO THE ROLE

BECAUSE OF WHAT HE LEAVES

BEHIND EVERY TIME HE PUTS

HIMSELF IN A SITUATION

LIKE THIS.

WE'RE COMING IN.

WE'RE ON THE PROPERTY.

Efrem: FORMER MARINE

TURNED CONTRACTOR MIKE

GEIST, WHO LIVED THROUGH

THOSE UNFORGETTABLE 13

HOURS THAT NOW PLAY OUT ON

THE BIG SCREEN.

IS THERE TIME FOR PRAYER

AND FAITH IN A SITUATION

LIKE THIS?

I MEAN FOR ME, MY FAITH

AND MY RELATIONSHIP WITH

GOD IS ALWAYS THERE.

THAT FOUNDATION IS

SOMETHING THAT WAS -- I

WAS LUCKY TO HAVE THAT

INSTILLED IN ME FROM MY

PARENTS FROM BIRTH.

I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW,

THERE IS NO ATHEIST IN A

FOX HOLE.

WHEN THE BULLETS ARE

FLYING, THAT FAITH IN GOD

COMES OUT.

Efrem: CHRIS TANTO

PERANTO IS A FORMER ARMY

RANGER.

WE NEED IMMEDIATE

ASSISTANCE.

WE ARE OVERRUN.

WE'RE UNDER ATTACK.

LET'S GO.

WE'VE GOT TO MOVE!

IF YOU DO NOT GET HERE

SOON, WE'RE ALL GOING TO

DIE.

Efrem: WE HEAR THE

CALL.

PEOPLE CALLING FOR HELP.

YEAH, THAT'S HARD.

Efrem: THAT BROKE MY

HEART.

IT WAS BREAKING MINE.

Efrem: AS AN

AMERICAN.

DID YOU FEEL ABANDONED?

AFTER I GOT BACK, I GOT

SCAASKED THAT QUESTION ON A

NEWS SHOW, DO YOU FEEL

LIKE THE U.S. GOVERNMENT

LEFT YOU BEHIND.

AND IT HURT ME.

AND I PAUSED 15 SECONDS,

AND HE GOES, ARE YOU

THERE?

AND I SAID, YEAH.

I CAN'T SAY NO.

Efrem: PERANTO,

GEIST, AND TIEGAN ARE

THREE OF THE SOLDIERS OF

BENGHAZI.

WHAT YOU DO IT ALL OVER

AGAIN?

OF COURSE.

I LOVE THE JOB.

SOME PEOPLE SAY YOU DID IT

FOR THE MONEY, BUT YEAH,

THE MONEY WAS GOOD IN THE

BEGINNING, BUT THEN THE

PAY DROPPED QUITE A BIT.

THERE ARE OTHER COMPANIES

THAT YOU CAN GO FOR, BUT I

WOULDN'T ENJOY RISKING MY

LIFE FOR OIL.

I STAYED WHERE I WAS,

PROTECTING THE PEOPLE, AND

STOPPING THE TERRORISTS

FROM THE HOMELAND.

Efrem: AND NOW THE

STORY OF THOSE SECRET

SOLDIERS...

JASON, ARE WE EXPECTING

ANY FRIENDLIES?

Efrem: ...IS NO

LONGER A SECRET.

EFREM GRAHAM, CBN NEWS,

MIAMI.

Chris: UP NEXT,

DISCOVER HOW ARCHEOLOGICAL

SITES IN ISRAEL ARE FOUND

IN THE MOST UNLIKELY

PLACES.

Chris: WELCOME BACK.

ISRAEL'S GROWING

CONSTRUCTION SITES HAVE

UNCOVERED SOME ANCIENT

TREASURES IN UNLIKELY

PLACES.

CBN CORRESPONDENT JULIE

STAAL SHOWS US WHAT

ARCHEOLOGISTS ARE FINDING.

Reporter: HERE IN

ISRAEL'S CENTRAL PLAINS, A

BUILDING BOOM DOTS THE

SKYLINE WITH CRANES, IN

PLACES LIKE ROSHA EIN.

THE ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES

AUTHORIT CONDUCTS WHAT IT

CALLS A SALVAGE

EXCAVATION.

WE STARTED DIGGING

HERE, AND DIDN'T KNOW

WHAT WE WERE GOING TO

FIND.

BUT AFTER THREE MONTHS, WE

EXPOSED THESE.

Reporter: THE

DISCOVERY OF MANY

IMPRESSIVE RURAL CHURCHES

AND MONASTERIES IN THE

AREA SHOWS THAT

CHRISTIANITY SPREAD

RAPIDLY AROUND THE FIFTH

CENTURY.

AMID SHADMAN SAYS THE

BIZANTINE CHURCH IS FULL

OF A MOSAIC.

AND THERE IS A GREEK

INSCRIPTION AT THE

ENTRANCE.

IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME

LIKE TODAY.

PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW THEY

GAVE THE MONEY, AND YOU

HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IT IS

VERY EXPENSIVE TO BUILD A

COMPLEX LIKE THIS.

Reporter: THE

INSCRIPTION SAYS, THIS

PLACE WAS BUILT UNDER

THEODOSIUS, THE PRIEST.

PEACE BE WITH YOU WHEN YOU

COME IN, AND PEACE BE WITH

YOU WHEN YOU GO.

UP TO 30 MONKS WOULD HAVE

LIVED ON THE COMPOUND, AND

SHADMAN BELIEVES THEY WERE

ALSO FARMERS.

THE COMPOUNDINCLUDED

LIVING QUARTERS, STABLE

AND AN OLIVE OIL PRESS.

HE SAYS THOSE WOULD NOT

HAVE BEEN BUILT WIOUT

THE HELP OF THE CHURCH.

THE MAIN THEME OF THIS

MONASTERY IS TO TAKE CARE

OF THE AREA.

Reporter:

ARCHEOLOGISTS ALSO

UNCOVERED AN EVEN OLDER

STRUCTURE NEARBY.

A 2700-YEAR-OLD FARM

HOUSE.

THIS AREA, FROM THE

BEGINNING, WAS USED FOR

FARM AND FOR AGRICULTURE.

Reporter: SOMETIMES

ARCHEOLOGISTS MUST MOVE

THE ANTIQUITIES, AND THEY

OFTEN REBURY THEM, BUT

THIS ANCIENT BIZANTINE

MONASTERY AND FARMSTED ARE

SLATED TO BECOME PART OF A

PARK.

I CAN TELL YOU THIS

SITE, WE'RE NOT GOING TO

DESTROY IT.

WE WILL PLAN TO KEEP IT

AND KEEP IT LIKE A GREEN

AREA.

Reporter: JULIE

STAAL, CBN NEWS, ROCHE

EIN, ISRAEL.

Chris: AS YOU CAN

SEE, ISRAEL IS A

COMBINATION OF THE ANCIENT

AND THE MODERN.

THAT'S IT FOR THIS

EDITION.
