    Family members mourn near the covered body of Malachi Rosenfeld during his funeral in the West Bank Jewish settlement of Kochav Hashachar July 1, 2015. Rosenfeld, one of four Israelis shot in the occupied West Bank on Monday by a suspected Palestinian gunman, died of his wounds in hospital, officials said on Tuesday. The night-time attack on a road outside a Jewish settlement was not claimed by any Palestinian faction. REUTERS/Ronen Zvulun Northern West Bank – Malachi Moshe Rosenfeld, 26, who succumbed to his wounds Tuesday from Monday’s West Bank shooting attack, was laid to rest Wednesday in the settlement of Kochav Hashahar. Thousands were present at the burial.

    Bayit Yehudi leader Naftali Bennett sped Rosenfeld, calling his family “heroic” and “Zionistic.”

    “Malachi was killed upon returning from a Basketball game,” Bennett said. “He returned from a game. A game in which rivals play on the same court with the same rules.”

    “Our enemies also live with us on the same court, but they don’t live by the rules. They don’t have any. We’re moral and they’re animals,” Bennett said.

    Rabbi Ohad Krakover, the community’s rabbi, eulogized Malachi and said tearfully, “We demand that the government carry out a real revenge – to build and develop the settlement enterprise. We will not be defeated.” Turning to the bereaved family, he said, “Ony God can comfort you, the Rosenfeld family.”

    Malachi’s father, Eliezer Rosenfeld, spoke of his deep bond with Malachi: “This is a great national tragedy,” Rosenfeld said Tuesday after his son’s death. “I raised an ambitious boy, wise, with such great intelligence. He went out to play basketball, a competition between communities, and didn’t come back. It’s shameful, what is happening in our country.”

    The Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Palestinian terror group Hamas, has claimed responsibility for the terror attack near Shvut Rachel.

    Malachi’s parents are among the founders of Kochav Hashachar.
