The Israeli man brutally murdered near the town of Hermesh in northern Samaria has been identified as Meir Tamari, a 32-year-old Hermesh resident.
Tamari, who was shot dead by terrorists on Tuesday afternoon, was married and the father of two children, ages one and three. Tamari moved to Hermesh four years ago, after marrying his wife, who grew up in the town. Just recently, the couple finished building their home.
Yossi Dagan, head of the Samaria Regional Council, said, “This terror attack occurred just meters from a checkpoint which, if it were active, this terror attack would have been prevented. We begged that the checkpoint be reopened, we warned that we would pay in blood, and we were not answered. If the government of Israel had not caved to international pressure and removed the security checkpoints, including this checkpoint, Meir would be here with us today, and this evening.”
