Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked used her Facebook page to condemn the drive-by shooting attack near Gilad Farm in Shomronthat claimed the life of Rabbi Raziel Shevach HY”D, 35, a father of six. He was a resident of Gilad Farm and mohel by profession.

The terrorist(s) fired 22 bullets at his vehicle while he was traveling near his home community at about 8:00pm Tuesday evening, the eve of 23 Teves.

Shaked announced that “we will not permit this attack to pass without a response”. She explained the Palestinians must learn such acts carry consequences, stating in this case, the community of Gilad Farm will be legalized.

At present, Gilad Farm is an illegal community that began as an outpost.
