Israeli man killed in West Bank shooting ahead of Yom Kippur

  • On Sunday, Netanel Shakaron, 30, died following a shooting attack at the Ein Raya spring near Neve Tzuf while preparing for Yom Kippur with his eldest son.
  • Shakaron, a father of six and information systems analyst at Hachshara Insurance, was described by community leaders as a beloved man; his wife, Dr. Mirav Shakaron, is a lecturer at Ariel University.
  • Binyamin Regional Council head Israel Ganz stated the assailant used an M16 rifle, prompting Israeli security forces to capture the suspect three hours later after an extensive search.
  • Shortly after the shooting, a second attack occurred in Samaria near the reestablished town of Ganim, where two terrorists attempted to ram a vehicle into IDF soldiers, killing one attacker and arresting the second.
  • These attacks occurred just before Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar, heightening regional tensions as security officials continue investigating whether the attacker acted with accomplices.
