HaGaon HaRav Shmuel Eliyahu Shlita visited the wounded Kiryat Arba first response team member, Shuki Gilboa, who is recuperating in a Jerusalem hospital.

Gilboa was wounded in his right eye responding to the terrorist attack in the community’s Charsina neighborhood and has lost the sight in that eye as a result. Hallel Yafeh Ariel HY”D was murdered by the lone terrorist in the attack.

Rav Eliyahu gave Shuki a chizuk and is quoted by Kol Chai Radio saying it is a mitzvah to avenge these attacks no less than it is a mitzvah from the Torah to keep Shabbos.
