Geocacher "Die Geokids" finds Bani Ne'im cave cache:
After 6 years of the placement of this cache back in 2016, D. Geokids found it and even fixed the coordinates. Here's his report:
"FTF] at 12:20

This cache was waiting for a long time for an FTF and I planned a few times already to go here. However, my plans changed often and I didn't manage. Today, I was finally ready to go and find the cache. Luckily, one can drive all the way down from Bani Neim 500m to the cache on a paved road (quite steep but fun). From there we started our hike and climbed the hill on which the cache is located. The coordinates pointed to a freshly dug area (including a cave which was either recently widened or completely new created) which left us disappointed. Upon reading the description again and noticing the spoiler pictures, c:geo showed coordinates for one of the pictures. These were 120m from the actual cache coordinates, on the other side of the top of the hill. There we were so surprised to find another cave and this one looked pretty similar to the one on the pictures. Quickly we found all spoiler pictures and could even find the original box with the lovely trinket! After all these years, the cache was still in place and no one ever signed it. So it's my first FTF with location Palestine. Great cave. After enjoying the view, we recorded better coordinates (which I will upload soon) and headed back to the car."

Ein Qeniya 3rd Geocache needs a relocation:
On 21/5/2022, Geocacher "Die Geokids" reported that "Fortunately for the preservation of this historic house but unfortunate for the cache, someone decided to renovate the house and now there is a fence around and the hole in which a previous cacher placed a logbook does not exist anymore. Neither does the original cache exist. See attached photos. It was a really nice hike but I guess the cache needs some maintenance."
I visited the location, and I think this cache needs relocation, in respect of the residents of the renovated house.
