On Sunday afternoon, a shooting attack in the Jordan Valley resulted in one Israeli fatality and another individual injured. The assailant opened fire from a passing vehicle on Route 90, near the Mechola Junction, targeting an Israeli car.
Emergency medical teams promptly responded, administering critical aid at the scene. The deceased has been identified as 23-year-old Yonatan Deutsch HY”D from Beit Shean. The second victim, 32-year-old Anas Jaramana from the northern Arab town of Muqeible, sustained moderate injuries.
Yonatan fought in Gaza for many months and had recently come back got engaged and was on the cusp of starting the next chapter of his life.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to the Deutsch family and his Kallah and her family. May Hashem grant them strength and comfort during this incredibly difficult time.
This is just one more reason of how desperate we are for the Geualah and the 3rd Bais Hamikdash, may we see it rebuild speedily in our days.
May Klal Yisroel see no more pain.

Sickening. Senseless. Motivated by only pure hate. Disgusted on every level.
