Initial investigations revealed that the incident began when IDF security forces identified and stopped a suspicious car for checking. During the course of the check, the terrorist who was in the car opened fire on them. The forces returned fire but the terrorist escaped. The forces chased after him, succeeded in locating him and neutralized him. Amir was critically injured in the shooting and after resuscitation efforts doctors were forced to declare him dead at the scene.
Rabbi Shilo Marom who taught Shilo when he studied at the Keshet pre-military program, said that “Shilo was full of life, enjoyed life and had a radiant expression. He wanted his military service to be significant and therefore came here to clarify his own values and those of the Jewish people. He loved hiking and was a very sincere friend and a man of truth.
“Despite the operation in Jenin and the hard work, there is still much to do to remove the scourge of Jews being killed in the land of Israel,” Rabbi Marom concluded.
Shilo was in my son’s army platoon and a friend of his. My son said he was a very good person, a dedicated soldier, and had a tremendous love of Eretz Yisroel. Do a mitzva in his zechus.
since the IDF does not avenge their soldiers blood, it has become cheap in the eyes of the terrorists, plus the Soros funded left sue soldiers for killing terrrorists and as I predicted the guy who killed the terrorist in tel aviv who rammed his car into people AND stabbed people is now under police investigation. This is Zionists values.
