Plocher traveled to Israel with three Montanans and one cowboy from Arkansas through an evangelical Christian volunteer-based operation called HaYovel.
"Well, what we're doing is we're out here in Judea and Samaria," Plocher explained. "What they're doing is they're supporting the farmers and the Jewish communities out here in Judea and Samaria. They're bringing things, essential supplies needed for the communities around here so that what happened on the attack here recently doesn't happen out here."

We're working on a warehouse here on base. We've been out in the communities helping with just regular tasks, just stuff where they're – all the men have been called up for the draft. So, we've been working on some of the farms around here and stuff like that."
