From a report via the Emek Mediical Center
This morning, 19 year old newly enlisted IDF soldier Eden
Atias boarded a bus heading to Afula from neighboring Nazareth. Sitting
next to him was 16 year old Hussein Jawadra, a Palestinian who had illegally
entered Israel from nearby Jenin. In the next moments, by the time the
bus had entered Afula’s central bus station, the young Israeli lay mortally
wounded after being stabbed in the neck in an unprovoked vicious attack by the
Palestinian teenager.
Eden died in Emek Medical Center before we could save his
young life. The young terrorist is currently being treated in another
Israeli hospital after being injured during his apprehension.
Another horrific example of life and death in the Valley of
Armageddon, where Israel – committed to the sanctity of life - offers medical
aid even to an enemy. Even to a politically motivated deranged
murderer.
We stand proud as Israelis, while we share bitter tears with
the Atias family and our people.
And many are still asking why we need the checkpoints!!

Very tragic for both families, but confirms the continuing need for checkpoint.
