IDF maps home of Fuld's Palestinian killer
Day after American-Israeli is stabbed to death in Gush Etzion by 16-year-old Khalil Jabarin from Yatta, security forces begin preparing family home for demolition, confiscate work permit from family members.
Work permits were also confiscated from some of the members of the 16-year-old terrorist, Khalil Jabarin.
Jabarin left his home in the village which has produced a number of terrorists who have carried out major attacks on Israelis and stabbed Fuld, a 45-year-old father of four, in the back.
Fuld, a right-wing online activist, pursued his attacker and fired shots in his direction before being evacuated to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem where he was pronounced dead.
The terrorist, who had no security-related history, was eventually shot and neutralized by a passerby. He was evacuated to the same hospital as Fuld fully conscious.
Yatta, near Hebron, has served as a hotbed of terror activity. The adjacent Palestinian village was the home of two terrorist who carried out a deadly shooting attack in Tel Aviv’s popular Sarona market in which four were killed and 16 wounded.
Other terror attacks committed by residents of Yatta and surrounding areas include a stabbing attack carried out in Rahat on Shlomit Gonen in February 2016.
Thousands turned out late Sunday evening to attend Fuld’s funeral, who was remembered as a “hero to all.”
Family members and mourners waved Israeli flags at the funeral, which began close to midnight at a cemetery at the Kfar Etzion settlement in the West Bank.
Fuld was at times an outspoken critic of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for various settlement evacuation policies and for apologizing after the Shin Bet detained the left-wing Jewish-American journalist Peter Beinart at Ben-Gurion Airport.
Netanyahu and Bayit Yehudi Chairman Naftali Bennett also visited the Fuld family before the funeral.
“This evening I met the parents and siblings of the Israeli hero Ari Fuld. I embraced them in the name of the whole nation of Israel during this terrible time for them. We owe our lives to heroes like Ari. We will always remember him,” Netanyahu said after meeting the family of the 45-year-old victim.
