A year-long wave of terror attacks against Israelis continued this week after 32-year-old Meir Tamari was killed on Tuesday in a shooting attack near the settlement of Hermesh in the northern West Bank. He is survived by a wife and two children.
Tamari suffered from multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body and was treated by the Magen David Adom Ambulance Service before being airlifted to hospital where he later died from his injuries.
In a statement, the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group, claimed responsibility for the deadly attack affirming “this operation and others will not be the final response to our martyrs”.
20 Israelis have been killed this year in Israel and the West Bank and several more seriously injured.
Bombing victim, Chana Nachenburg, also died this week after being in a coma for 22 years following a bombing attack at the Jerusalem Sbarro Pizza Place in 2001. She was 31 at the time of the bombing, survived by a two-year-old daughter who left the attack miraculously unscathed.
The attack killed 15 people, including seven children and a pregnant woman, and wounded 130.
Chana was laid to rest on Thursday in Modiin, taking the attacks fatalities up to 16.
