One victim was identified as Harel Masoud, a 21-year-old resident of Yad Binyamin who was residing in an outpost in the Binyamin region. Another was named as Elisha Antman, a 17-year-old resident of Eli. A third was identified as Ofer Fierman, a 60-year-old resident of Eli. The fourth was identified as Nachman Shmuel Mordoff, a 17-year-old resident of Ahiya.
Two terrorists committed the deadly attack. The terrorists drove up to the gas station and restaurant near Eli and opened fire, killing four people. A civilian shot and neutralized one of the terrorists. The second terrorist escaped and was found and eliminated by security forces after a two-hour search.
Likud MK Danny Danon called for the launching of a major military operation to destroy terrorist infrastructure in Judea and Samaria following the attack.
‘We demand a military operation in Judea and Samaria now. Not later. Now is the time to strike hard and fast. I call on our Prime Minister to order a large-scale military operation and immediately reinstate the security checkpoints that were removed. The people of Israel are united and support the government, the army and our internal security services in carrying out this urgent program which will save countless innocent lives,” Danon said.
Two of the victims, Elisha Antman and Harel Masoud, have already been brought to burial in their respective communities. Nahal Sorek regional council head Shai Reichner said at Masoud’s funeral that “There are no words to express the shock and pain we are feeling right now. I and the entire Nahal Sorek community grieve with the Masoud family for this terrible disaster, share in their unimaginable grief and embrace the family.”
The levaya details of the other two victims have not yet been announced.
This happened during a supposedly “right wing” government
It pains me to say it, but I will. These 4 קדושים died via suicide. That region is a hotbed of terror and murder. It is morally and halachicaly forbidden to put your life in danger. A person who cares for his life and for the life of his family would never ever step foot over there.
