Her name was Hallel Yaffa Ariel.
The attack occurred Thursday morning in the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba. A man responding to her screams was also stabbed and then mistakenly shot by other responders. The assailant--a 17-year-old boy--was killed.
From the Times of Israel:
Local officials said the home lies on the edge in the Ramat Mamre neighborhood, adjacent to a fence surrounding the settlement. A picture released by the IDF showed the bedroom with blood smeared on beds and the floor.
According to an initial account, the attacker jumped the fence — a breach that sent an alert to the IDF and civilian security guards in the area — and broke into the girl’s bedroom, where she was sleeping.
Forces searching for the cause of the breach heard screams coming from the house and raced in to find the girl with multiple stab wounds in her bed, according to Channel 10. One of the guards hurried to her to provide first aid and was jumped by the attacker who managed to stab him.
The girl’s father and other guards fired shots at the attacker, killing him, and also wounding the responding guard.
“The girl was unconscious, without a pulse and not breathing. She had a number of penetrating wounds on her upper body. We loaded her onto the ambulance while performing CPR. Her condition was very serious. The second victim we loaded into the ambulance and gave him life-saving first aid. He was fully conscious, speaking with us throughout the ride [to the hospital],” said Magen David Adom medic Devora Aviad.
christ that could be my daughters bedroom
ReplyDeleteKorree: this is a Catholic blog. Kindly do not use Jesus' name in vain. He is Our King and it is offensive to see his name used in a squalid manner. Thank you.
ReplyDeletePoint taken, Sandpiper. Many of us do that way too often. And I'm as guilty as anyone. But I think we can all agree with the sentiment. That it could be my daughter's bedroom was exactly what I thought when I first saw that picture. I almost didn't put it in the post. But now I think it needs to be seen by as many people as possible. This is the evil that we are up against.
ReplyDeleteFirst. I was logged in as my wife so direct comments here.
ReplyDeleteSecond. I will speak as I wish until so censured by Oakes.
Korree in case you read this before I get home, he or she was speaking to me
ReplyDeleteIn no way do I mean to detract from the slaughter of this beautiful Jewish girl. The article doesn't make clear that she is Jewish. I read that elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteYou should not allow comments that take the Lord's name in vain. That should be a non-negotiable. You must maintain this standard or the battle for truth is lost.
Chris Mata: you are a coward. You will only do what is fitting, right and proper when Oakes demands it. Shame on you.
ReplyDeleteI'm fairly certain "Christ" isn't His name. Fake dudgeon is really just vanity and self-righteousness.
DeletePrithee,how many "Christs" do you know Joey? I know only one.
DeleteI'm not censuring or making demands on anyone. I think we should all cool it. And I include myself in that. I shouldn't have gotten into it. Apologies.
ReplyDeleteDo you want people breaking the 3rd Commandment on this site, Oakes? Remember, error has no rights.
ReplyDeleteIt's the 2nd Commandment.
DeleteThat being said, yes, it is a big deal.
lets focus on the murder of a girl by a savage
ReplyDeleteI almost feel like I'm in Catholic church reading these sensitive comments here. Vanity. Jeez. We can forgive that when "this is the evil we're up against." Thanks Oakes for keeping perspective here. At least they shot the m'fer. Our pansy homosexual American government wants nothing more than to take our guns from us, so that we have no choice but to bend over and cry like a good little catholic altar boy in the 70's... Get real, everyone...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post, Oakes!
You sound like a very lapsed Catholic.
DeleteHaha! Get real. No chance you feel like you are in a latter day Novus Ordo Catholic Church. No mention of breaking the commandments, evah.
