13-Year-Old Jewish Girl Killed in Chevron

Hallel Yafe Ariel, a 13-year-old girl, was stabbed repeatedly and later died of her wounds in a terror attack this morning,June 30, in the bedroom of her home in Kiryat Arba, Chevron.

In the ensuing struggle with the terrorist, a member of the civilian guard was also stabbed before the attacker was shot dead.

Said ZAKA volunteer in Kiryat Arba David Edrai: “We were called out this morning to yet another terror attack in Kiryat Arba. Two people were evacuated to hospital in serious condition. As we were working at the scene, we received the news that the young girl died from her wounds. To our great sadness, we find ourselves time after time treating people from our own community, people we know – and it breaks our heart. We carry out our sacred work with enormous pain and difficulties.”
