Son and Grandchild Of Religious Zionist MK Suffer Moderate Injuries In Samaria Terror Stonethrowing

JERUSALEM (VINnews) — A father and two of his children were moderately injured Tuesday night after Palestinians threw stones at their car which was travelling in the village of Hawara in Samaria. MDA teams evacuated the father and children to the Tel Hashomer hospital with the father and two-year-old child suffering moderate head wounds and the four-year-old girl in light condition. The injured persons are the son and grandchildren of Religious Zionism MK Orit Struck.

Struck said Wednesday that “we are torn between thanking Hashem for the incredible miracle he performed, Baruch Hashem they are all alive, and between the fact that they are all injured. My son suffered a complex injury and my little grandchild was also injured. Stonethrowing is exceedingly dangerous and it happens all the time, too often, but when it happens to you its the hardest.”

Struck added that “yesterday we had a family affair, a memorial service for my father. We all met and played with the children, we hugged and kissed and said goodbye. On the way home people who are callous enough to try and murder a young father and his two infants fired stones at them, which hit the car and my son’s head as well as that of the child in the infant seat behind him. Due to this the car veered off the road and there was an accident. I don’t know where such levels of evil and murderousness can come from.”

Struck complained that Israel is not doing enough to curb terror. “The government has stopped its deterrence efforts against terrorists. The Palestinian Authority pays every terrorist for attacks including the attack on my children and grandchildren and the ones signing the checks are our government which has stopped confiscating tax money against the monye paid by Palestinians to terrorists, in violation of the law.”

Struck added that the government is not even willing to hold terrorists bodies despite the fact that this too could be a deterrent. She described how the families of those killed in the recent Beersheva terror attack were shocked and dismayed that the state had returned the terrorist’s body. Struck submitted a bill to prevent the return of terrorists bodies to their families in order to deter further attacks.
