An Israeli man, H’yd, was murdered in a shooting attack in the Shomron on Thursday morning.
At about 10 a.m., terrorists opened fire at an Israeli car near the Beit Lid intersection, causing the driver to lose control of the wheel. The car overturned and led to his immediate death. Paramedics who arrived at the scene tried to resuscitate him but to no avail.
The victim was later identified as Elchanan Klein, H’yd, a 30-year-old father of three who lived on the yishuv of Einav in the Shomron. Klein was a reserve soldier and was on his way home when he was killed. He left behind a pregnant wife and three small children.
A year and a half ago, Klein, z’l, received a certificate of appreciation after thwarting a terror attack near Beit El.

An IDF spokesman said: “A shooting attack occurred a short time ago near the Einav settlement in the Menashe division, during which terrorists fired at a vehicle that overturned as a result of the shooting. IDF forces have launched a search for the terrorists and are blocking roads in the area.”

This is what happens when you are soft on terror.
Israelis want to impress the world that they are humanitarian so instead of have public executions of terrorists and hang their naked bodies outside their villages without private parts which are sent to the parents, and then casting the terrorist into the ocean, they put the terrorist in jail for 20 years or until he is released in a hostage swap.
Pheh on Israeli thinking
@This is what happens when you at war and live 8 miles from shechem
