Deadly shooting comes days after a Palestinian terrorist murdered an Israeli father and son on the same highway, further north in Samaria.
Terrorism
The terrorist first checked that the targets were Israeli Jews before opening fire from point-blank range at a local car wash.
“It was not short of an attempted lynch,” says Jewish man who frantically tried to protect his pregnant wife.
The portrayal of these individuals as insane is designed to evade questions of ideological motivation and state responsibility.
The incident comes amid a sharp increase in terror attacks across Judea, Samaria and eastern Jerusalem.
“Most Israelis need to smell the danger and feel it in order to understand that they are in danger.”
When Palestinians complain about minors being killed or injured while carrying out terror attacks against Israelis, recall the scenes of Gaza summer camps.
The number of shootings has already surpassed last year’s total.
At least three cars were targeted in the incident, which took place near Ma’ale Shomron.
The terrorist opened fire at the victims’ car from another vehicle near the Tekoa Junction in Gush Etzion; IDF forces are searching for the shooter.
