A Palestinian Arab terrorist opened fire with an automatic rifle at an Israeli civilian vehicle on Sunday, murdering two young Jewish men.
The attack occurred in the Arab village of Huwara through which Highway 60 passes on its way from Jerusalem to northern Samaria, via the biblical communities of Beit El and Shiloh.
The head of the Beit El regional council saw the attack and told Channel 12 News that the terrorist or terrorists fired crashed their vehicle into the victims’ car, exited his own vehicle, walked over to the victims and effectively executed them.
“It was right behind me, the shooting was from point blank range – it looked terrible,” said the eye witness.

The Israeli military launched a manhunt for the terrorist and any possible accomplices.
The attack comes as the world condemns Israel for its anti-terror efforts against Palestinian militant groups. The United States has been pressuring Israel to de-escalate the situation, even as it claims to back Israel’s right to self defense.
Israel’s response to Sunday’s tragic roadside murder will no doubt elicit further global consternation.

Most cannot comprehend living in that state of fear. But the fact that international leaders, as well as the world citizens who do not stand in solidarity against the horrific, emboldened actions* of Palestinian Authority-led terrorists who concede no life to their fellow Israeli neighbors is shocking.
Those who feel no pain from the terrorism going on in Israel and all over the world by the jihadists, somehow have a false belief that it cannot touch them. Being what they seem to believe themselves as, “untouchables,” they believe the lies told them by those who side with the terrorists and are untouched by the pain of death that is inflicted on the innocent victims of said jihadists.
I believe we are living in the time Jesus called, “the beginning of sorrows,” there is no place on planet earth that will not, “feel,” the pain of this period of time. No human being is, “untouchable.” Those jihadists who bring death to the innocent victims will find they have no bright future after their own deaths, none, what so ever.
Totally agree with your comment Vernon. When nations turn their back on God he lifts his hand of protection and allows their enemies to take over.
Of course Satan is the ultimate and arch-typical terrorist. Fortunately he will soon be bound for a 1000 years and then cast into the Lake of Fire for eternity. Until then, as the father of all liars and murderers, we must stand our ground against him.
