Hamas Terrorists Ambush Passenger Car Near Hevron, 4 Israeli Jews Massacred and Dead

Hamas has reared its ugly head after a very long respite and the timing couldn't be more blatant and obvious - this attack, this display of Hamas cowardice, in which 4 Israeli citizens were murdered while in their car, was simply done to derail the peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. One of the victims was a pregnant woman.

Let's look at the shocking and disgusting details of this ambush, from Israel News:

Palestinian terrorists murdered four Jewish civilians in a shooting attack at the Bani Naim junction just south of Hevron Tuesday evening. Emergency service paramedics could do nothing to save the victims whose bodies were riddled with bullets. The terrorists reportedly made sure their victims were dead by shooting them from close range after the initial fusillade.

The victims are a husband and wife, parents of ten, and two passengers. Their names were cleared for publication Tuesday night by local police:
Yitzhak and Talia Ames, parents of six
Kochava Even Chaim
Avishai Shindler
The four were all citizens of Beit Haggai.A Zaka volunteer who arrived on the scene broke down in tears when he neared the car and discovered that one of the victims was his wife. The IDF is combing the area, searching for the terrorists.

Hamas took "credit" for the terror attack.

IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi arrived on the scene of the attack along with Head of Central Command Major General Avi Mizrahi and Judea and Samaria Commander Brig.-Gen. Nitzan Alon. The three performed an evaluation of the situation.

Okay, as some of you may know, there is NOTHING, short of an attack on American soil like 9/11, that sets me off like these Hamas and Hezbollah terror attacks. Nothing.

So, I tell you what - if I was in charge in Israel, I would make this announcement tonight:

"The leaders of Hamas chose today to kill four of our Israeli brothers and sisters in an effort to stop our peace talks with the Palestinian Authority and the United States. I'm here tonight to speak directly to those Hamas leaders, located in Gaza and Syria. You will get what you wish. Israel has suspended our participation in the peace summit this week and with the blessings of both America and the PA, we will commence a retalitory campaign against you, Hamas, for this cowardly act. Commencing immediately, every Hamas commander of military operations in the field will be targeted and killed. At the same time, the entire senior leadership of Hamas has been targeted by assassination squads which will begin action promptly. Once all Hamas leadership has been killed or driven far from the Middle East and most of the middle commanders are dead, Israel will return to the scheduled peace talks. Good night and good hunting to the IDF and Mossad. "

Yep, that's how I'd handle it. Hamas needs a semi-annual reminder why they wish they'd never been born, please let it happen again now.

To the families of the Israeli victims today, I can only offer up my prayers and sincere condolences.

Four Jews Murdered in Arab Terror Attack Near Hevron


Palestinian terrorists murdered four Jewish civilians in a shooting attack at the Bani Naim junction just south of Hevron Tuesday evening. Emergency service paramedics could do nothing to save the victims whose bodies were riddled with bullets. The terrorists reportedly made sure their victims were dead by shooting them from close range after the initial fusillade.

The victims are a husband and wife, parents of ten, and two passengers. Their names were cleared for publication Tuesday night by local police:


Yitzhak and Talia Ames, parents of six
Kochava Even Chaim
Avishai Shindler
The four were all citizens of Beit Haggai.

A Zaka volunteer who arrived on the scene broke down in tears when he neared the car and discovered that one of the victims was his wife. The IDF is combing the area, searching for the terrorists.


One of the victims had a license for a gun that was suspended shortly before the attack. Itamar Ben-Gvir and Baruch Marzel said at the scene that serious soul-searching must be done "in order to find out how it is that Jews are deprived of the basic right to defend themselves."

Hamas took "credit" for the terror attack.


IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi arrived on the scene of the attack along with Head of Central Command Major General Avi Mizrahi and Judea and Samaria Commander Brig.-Gen. Nitzan Alon. The three performed an evaluation of the situation.

Ashkenazi said: "There is no doubt that this is a very difficult event. First, we express our condolences to the victims' families and to Beit Hagai. We are working in several directions since the event occurred and will continue to act until we capture the terrorists. IDF along with other security agencies continue to operate until we capture the murderers who were responsible for this incident. "

The terror attack is typical of Arab "resistance" attacks that intentionally target civilian victims. A survey carried out by a PA organization in early August found that among the Arab public in the Palestinian Authority, over 55% view violence as either essential or desirable, nearly 31% see it as either acceptable or tolerable, and only 13.7% say it is unacceptable.

The attack was probably timed to coincide with and affect the direct talks between Israel and the PA in Washington, D.C., that are to begin Thursday. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said upon landing in Washington that the talks would proceed as planned, despite the murders.
