West Bank – Two Israeli civilians, husband and wife, have been killed in a terror attack which occurred shortly after 9 pm near the Itamar and Elon Moreh communities in Samaria on Thursday night, October 1. The Jewish family of six was driving near the Palestinian village of Beit Furik when their vehicle came under heavy gunfire from a moving vehicle.

The four children in the car, who witnessed their parents’ shooting, have been safely rescued. The children, ages 4, 7, and 9 and a four-month-old baby were not injured in the attack.
IDF spokesperson has confirmed the tragic event and stated that “IDF forces are currently scouring the area for the terrorists.”
Israeli media identified the parents as Eitam and Na’ama Henkin from the West Bank settlement of Neria.
Israeli Minister, Uri Ariel had stated in response to the event that “this murderous occurrence which orphaned four little children is the direct result of Abu Mazen’s litany of lies last night at the United Nations. The responsibility is his and he must answer for it.”
“There was very, very massive fire,” Eli Bin, the director of Israel’s rescue service MDA, told Israeli Channel 2 TV news. “We didn’t have much choice but to pronounce them dead on the spot.”
The attack comes as tensions continue to flare between Israelis and Palestinians over the Jerusalem site known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary.
Israel has to impose the death penalty
This government will never enforce a death penalty. Until chareidim become a majority the Jews of israel will live under foolish liberal democracy Laws. Arab murderering terrorists will be released while Jews will rot in jail. Only a chareidi government will release yigal Amir and yishai shlissel. Until then jewish blood will be cheap. The klausenberger rebbe ztl begged moshe Dayan not to bring back the Arabs who fled israel after the 1967 war. Now we are paying the price
bd”h, why are people driving near palastine villages? Israel is the most dangerous place for jews, does anyone not agreeing with me yet?
Hashem,Hasehm,Hasehm, AD MOSAI!!
The death penalty won’t help at all. The savages aren’t afraid to die, they glorify death while we l’havdil glorify life. They believe they get paradise for killing Jews!
In response to the 2nd comment, that’s the problem with a chareidi government, they would release or never even arrest a sick murderer like Yishai shlissel who I remind you murdered a Jewish girl because she was marching in the gay parade .
The solution to Israeli terrorism should be to release Rabbi Meir Ettinger who was arrested for no reason whatsoever and replace Bibi Netanyahu with him, and watch how Arab terrorism will stop. Because he’ll take care of the Arabs with brains. No, he wouldn’t kill them but will compensate them to move back home – just like his grandfather Hy”d would have done.

They settle in others land and there are unfortunate consequences. … wish they come to seichel….
Baruch Dayan HaEmet. May their murderers be brought to justice.
I believe that Eitam Henkin z’tz’l was a rabbi and should be given that title in news accounts. (In his Torah blog he identified himself as “הרב איתם הנקין.”)
Rav Eitam Henkin was an incredibly brilliant and creative talmid chacham who authored an extremely important sefer on bedikas tola’im in vegetables (advocating a MUCH more lenient approach) as well as many important and varied ma’amarim on various torah subjects. Everything he wrote is worth reading and studying.

This time it’s different. Minister Ariel clearly stated that it’s Abu Mazen’s responsibility. See, now the Israelis are getting real tough!
Nothing but bad news in the papers this morning.
This is the second time that parents get killed in neria first fam was moti and tsirel Schijveschuurder my uncle and aunt with there 3 children they lived in neria but got killed in sabaro middle in Jerusalem.so to get killed today by Arabs can be anywhere. U think Europe is better today, u only have foreigners living there. It’s time moshiach should come and we will have finally peace!!
Hopefully in the near future as long as China keeps investing billions of dollars in Israel, and Israel becomes a vassal state of China, like Hong Kong, one country two systems, then, the death penalty for murder will come into effect. Than the Arabs will comprehend the punishment when murderers and their accomplices, and masterminds, all get lethal injection within 48 hours of the crime. That will significantly decrease the wonton murders from recurring, and be a warning to any terrorist that he or she will pay for their heinous crime with heir own life.
