The incident took place in Bat Ayin, where some 1,000 Jews live, two days after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-leaning government was sworn in.
Police and the Magen David Adom ambulance service said a 13-year-old youth was killed and the wounded seven-year-old was in serious condition.
“The attacker was a Palestinian. He used an axe and a knife,” a police officer said. “We are searching for him.”
There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
Another resident said he struggled with the attacker and disarmed him, but the man fled.
“He tried to stab me. I kicked him, he kicked me,” the settler, who gave his name only as Avinoam, told Israel’s Channel 10 television.

Baruch Dayan HaEmet….
The community of Bat Ayin is requesting prayers on behalf of the very seriously wounded 7 year old, Shlomo ben Revital.
bloodthirsty savages
Referring to the area as the “West Bank” [ie of the Jordan] only plays into the hands of those who wish for the land of Yehuda and Shomron to be given over to terrorists.
We are dealing with a phenomenon of bloodthirsty murderers who will risk their lives to kill Yidden.
Obama’s administration has promised ‘frank discussions’ to force the State of Israel into far-reaching territorial and security concessions which will only embolden the millions of Arabs who seek the destruction of Israel, and who rejoice in the ax murder of Jewish children.
HaSh-m Yeracheim
To #4 :
I also used to think so, but then I realized it actualy is the Bibilical method of refering to it as “Ever Hayarden Maarovo”, which translates to the “West Bank.”

Didn’t Bibi allow a number of yidden (soldiers, IIRC) to be killed (in the Old City, IIRC) without a response his last time as PM?
