Rabbi from Havat Gilad murdered by jihadist
Islamic terror in Israel tragically claimed another victim:
The rabbi's wife had him buried near the outpost where they lived. My condolences to the family, and I fully support their wish to have him buried at the village they live in.
Rabbi Raziel Shevach, a 35-year-old father of six, was murdered by Palestinian terrorists in a shooting attack on Tuesday night while he drove on a highway near the town of Havat Gilad in Samaria.The IDF is now searching for the culprits, whom the PLO predictably supported.
Initial reports were that terrorists shot from a passing vehicle and escaped the scene. The victim had several wounds to his neck and upper body from a reported round of 22 bullets, and was taken to Meir Medical Center in Kfar Saba. The search for the assailants is concentrated on nearby Shechem (Nablus).
The rabbi leaves behind a wife, 4 daughters and 2 sons, the younger of which is an 8-month-old baby. Rabbi Shevach was a mohel (performs ritual circumcision), chevra kadisha (Jewish burial society), and volunteered with Magen David Adom. About a year ago, he completed his smicha studies (rabbinic certification) and was currently in the midst of studies to be a rabbinical arbiter.
The rabbi's wife had him buried near the outpost where they lived. My condolences to the family, and I fully support their wish to have him buried at the village they live in.
