Chen Amir, a 42-year-old municipal security guard was murdered on Saturday afternoon in a terrorist shooting attack on Montefiore Street in Tel Aviv. One of two security guards was able to neutralize the terrorist, who later died in the hospital.
On Friday near Givat Oz Zion in Binyamin, a shepherd was attacked by Arabs. Today he filed a complaint with the Judea and Samaria District Central Police Station against the Arab rioters who attacked him and another group of Israelis with clubs, rocks, and fireworks. Yehiel Indore, who is still hospitalized and recovering from head surgery was seriously injured in the rioters’ attack. Several other Israelis were also slightly injured.
MK Limor Sonn Har Melech (Otzma Yehudit) on Saturday evening slammed the defense system for arresting a former parliamentary assistant following a lynch on Jewish shepherds on Friday. “When a patrolman in Tel Aviv eliminates a terrorist, he receives praise from all of the defense bodies, but when a Jew defends his life in Binyamin from an Arab mob which has come to kill him, he is arrested while he is still injured,” she said. “I suggest the defense system turn its strength to dealing with the ‘terror nests’ instead of persecuting the residents of Binyamin, who hold onto our land with dedication.”
Following the terror attack, the IDF announced that it will raise the level of alert on the “seam line” and the crossings, due to concern of attempted infiltrations by terrorists. As long as every nook and cranny is not sealed, unfortunately, the likelihood of terrorist attacks will continue. Israel’s security forces must become obsessed with closing the gaps and not obsessed with criminalizing Jews like terrorists every time they defend themselves from terror attacks. Besides, treating Jews like terrorists only empowers PA Arabs. The one gap that still needs to be filled and the best defense against terror is the application of Sovereignty! The current right-wing government needs to step up to the plate and make this happen – NOW. Enough said.
