Two Palestinian teenagers fatally stabbed an Israeli man and seriously wounded another inside a packed supermarket at the Shaar Binyamin industrial park in Samaria on Thursday, as the five-month wave of bloody terrorist attacks showed no signs of abating. Armed civilians shot the two 14-year-old terrorists. The two Israeli victims were taken to Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center and Hadassah Hospital, along with the Palestinian attackers. The military later said that off-duty Staff Sgt. Tuvia Yanai Weissman, 21, of the nearby town of Maale Mikhmas, had been killed in the attack. The second victim, identified as Avi Avital, 36, was moderately wounded and is in stable condition. Weissman was shopping for groceries with his wife and their infant daughter at the time. READ MORE
