A Hebron Chabad shaliach, Rav Yitzchak Neimark, was threatened by a Hamas terrorist that lives in an Arab area of the city via a social network post against him.
A photo shows the shaliach shopping for a farbregen on Simchas Torah. The Hamas activist drew an “X” across the shaliach’s face in addition to the caption “soon to be dead”.
The rav told Chabad online “I receive such threats from time-to-time. I must state this particular terrorist has threatened me in the past and I did not take his threat seriously. This time however he has crossed a line and I will file a formal complaint with police”.
Rav Neimark added that the photo was posted by him in the past to show him preparing for the yomtov event. The rav stresses this is not the first threat against him, stating “כאשר יענו אותו כן ירבה וכן יפרוץ”.

Don’t worry Hashem has already put an x on all of the shkatzim and very soon he is going to crush them all under his feet and destroy them all together with the amalekim.

May HaShem grant you great success in everything you do for the Jewish People and in life .B’H
This animal needs to be checked on for his threats please forward his correspondence to the Authorities so they must watch him.
He should take that threat seriously. Kiruv in Hevron is not something a person should give up their life for. Baruch Marzel is also taking a real risk. Meir Kahana, his son, and Rehavam Ze’evi were also murdered. It is better to keep a low profile then come out at favorable times. See the Gemara on Psalm 119:126.
