Arutz Sheva reports that as of 2:30 pm, the name of the teen has been released. He has been identified as Mohammed Karaka, 15, from Kafr Arraba.
This escalation of attacks is all due because israel spit in G-ds face by sponsoring the biggest toieva parade in the Mideast and invited thousands of German toeivanicks to join. The noose is now tightening around Israel’s neck as Iran and Iraq return to their extreme positions. Maybe the Belzer rebbe was right and frum Jews should leave israel. With nuclear Iran there could be another six million holocaust. Play with shamayim and find out.
Everyone- including akuperma and co. – pray for Israel in this critical time
Thats it Arabs say bye bye to life ur all ganna die soon
I hope Israel makes Syria pay a heavy deprive for killing an Israeli espicaly since it was a non Jewish Israeli. Israel has to defend all it’s Arab population as well.
Victims name was Muhammad Karara from the Galilee village of Arraba.
