The Brisker Rav said in the name of his father R. Chaim, “when Chazal established the four fasts, It was not that they established the fasts and then exempted the חולה (sick) from fasting.
Some Poskim** add that according to R.Chaim if חולים are part of and are needed to complete the Minyan then you might not be allowed to Lain ויחל since there is no Minyan of Yidden who are participating in the fast even if all ten are fasting.
Mori V’rabi Harav Hagaon R. Shlomo Miller Shlita said in jest that perhaps we can add one more Brisker Chumra, “not to give an Aliya on a fast day to anyone who might be a חולה.”

Israeli security forces conducted a raid on a Jewish farm in the Binyamin region this morning. Dozens of border police officers, Civil Administration inspectors, and workers presented a closed military zone order and evacuated the residents, confiscated equipment, and demolished structures.
According to the residents, the forces arrived at the farm through the village of Burqa, passing near illegally constructed Palestinian structures in Area C.
The demolition occurred just hours after residents of Burqa were recorded attacking a Jewish shepherd, injuring him, only a kilometer away from the now-demolished farm. The attack took place near an illegal Bedouin encampment, which, according to local residents, has been involved in similar incidents in the past.
Local residents sharply criticized security forces following the events. “It is unacceptable that after the attack on a Jewish shepherd, security forces ignore the illegal construction around us, choosing instead to demolish a nearby Jewish farm,” they said. “This action encourages Arab terrorism and endangers the security of the residents.”
