Two people were murdered R”L and four others wounded — two seriously and two moderately — in a terror shooting attack at Re’em Junction, near Kiryat Malachi, earlier today.
The terrorist targeted people waiting by a bus stop at the Masmiya Junction in southern Israel.
An armed civilian neutralized the terrorist. Israeli ID found on the terrorist says he is from East Jerusalem. B’chasdei Hashem, the civilian saved a potential mass-casualty situation as the bus stop stop was very busy at the time of the attack.
I am appalled by today’s terror attack that resulted in the deaths of two individuals and critical injuries of others. I offer my sincere condolences to the families affected by this tragedy. Such senseless terrorism is absolutely abhorrent.

Statement from PM Netanyahu: “I send my condolences from the bottom of my heart to the families of those murdered in the Ram Junction attack, and pray for the peace of the injured. This attack reminds us that the whole country is a front and that the murderers, who come not only from Gaza, want to kill us all. We will continue to fight until complete victory with all our strength, on every front, everywhere, until we restore security and peace to all citizens of Israel.”
אני שולח תנחומים מעומק הלב למשפחות הנרצחים בפיגוע בצומת ראם, ומתפלל לשלום הפצועים. הפיגוע הזה מזכיר לנו שכל הארץ חזית ושהמרצחים, שבאים לא רק מעזה, רוצים להרוג את כולנו. אנחנו נמשיך להילחם עד לניצחון המוחלט בכל העוצמה, בכל חזית, בכל מקום, עד שנחזיר את הביטחון והשקט לכל אזרחי…

A horrible way to go into Shabbos. May we hear only Besuros Tovos. HY”D.
really, we should send more aid to the monsters who repeatedly admit they want us to disappear. what other country would help their enemy. why the hell do we take care of them in our hospitals and waste our precious meds on them only for them to be healed & try again. we are either crazy or plain stupid
Dittodittoditto
Exactly!
@ Brenda ,exactly. Do not let them into our hospitals. And for all those peace loving Israelis the time is now WAKE UP WAKE UP , these ARABS will never be your friend or ours . How about helping your own brothers and sisters FIRST !!
Although the world doesn’t always realize, the Jews are the 1st to run and help everyone who is in danger or needs help. We believe that a human life is sacred and we are there for everyone. Common sense would be not to help those that are endangering our lives. Whether it is caring for them in our hospitals or allowing them to work for us or mingling with us….we must be more cautious. Being NICE has a limit!
