Arabs Brutally Murder Jewish Mother and Her 4 Children

In a devastating terror attack at 12:45 PM today, Gazan Arabs murdered a Jewish mother in her 8th month of pregnancy and her four children - spraying their car with bullets and then shooting each child repeatedly at point-blank range.
The attack was perpetrated on the Kissufim Road leading into Gush Katif, along Israel's southern Mediterranean coast. Another civilian and two soldiers were wounded in ensuing exchanges of fire.
The preliminary investigation indicates that two terrorists came from the nearby Arab town Dir el-Balah and waited for an Israeli car to pass by on the main vehicular artery into the Gush Katif region. The first burst of gunfire targeted a civilian vehicle, murdering Tali Hatual, 34, of Moshav Katif, who was eight months pregnant. Also murdered were her daughters, Hila (11), Hadar (9), Roni (7) and Meirav (2). As a second civilian car approached, the terrorists opened fire again, as was the case when the third vehicle arrived, an armored IDF patrol. The soldiers immediately returned fire and engaged the terrorists in a gun battle. As the soldiers pursued the attackers, an explosive device or a grenade was detonated against them, resulting in injuries. The terrorists were eliminated.
Prof. Aaron Vishnitzer, deputy director of Beer Sheva's Soroka Medical Center, reported that three terror victims are being treated, with a soldier and a civilian in moderate condition undergoing surgery and a second soldier in light condition.
Hamas, Yasser Arafat's Fatah and the Islamic Jihad claimed joint responsibility for the murderous attack. According to Voice of Israel's Avi Yissakharov, the Hamas is boasting that just as they are successfully driving the Jews from Gaza, so will they drive the Jews from other regions in Israel. In what has become a common scenario following terror attacks, Arab civilians in several locales under Arafat's control celebrated in the streets the murder of the Jewish mother and her children.
In a press release by the Yesha (Judea, Samaria and Gaza) Council of Jewish communities, the organization called upon the government of Israel "to immediately abandon its plan to uproot Jewish communities and instead to destroy the Palestinian terrorist infrastructure, responsible for today's attack and the murder over 850 Israelis over the past three and a half years. Abandoning these frontline communities will facilitate shifting the battlegrounds to Israeli urban population centers."
In other Arab attacks against Israeli targets over the past day: soldiers came under fire in Shechem last night. The armed Arab was shot dead by return fire; a mortar shell landed near the Gaza community of Netzarim during the night; during the predawn hours, Israeli soldiers were targeted by Arab gunfire in the northern Shomron near the community of Kadim; an Arab male carrying a suspicious case refused to stop and identify himself when requested to do so by soldiers at a checkpoint in northern Jerusalem. As soldiers moved in to inspect his case, he tried to stab them and was taken into custody; Arabs fired at IDF soldiers operating near PA-controlled Jenin. No injuries in any of the foregoing incidents were reported.

I hate to say this, but no longer mothers and children should be alone. An armed male relative should accompany from now on. Not that having her husband or whoever would have helped much in this instance.

I know that this is their home, but I haven't for the life of me been able to fathom WHY anyone would live in such a dangerous place.
If mom had been armed I don't know if that would have helped. She may have been able to take out a bad guy or two, though.

Unfortunately in this case, she was vastly outnumbered and would have been out gunned.
Israel is home to a lot of people, and many will never leave for the same reason many people will not/never leave Zimbabwe and South Africa. It's sad all around though.

I agree. *sigh* The whole situation is so terrible. I don't know if we'll ever see a peaceful Middle East or a safe Israel.

This fight is thousands of years old. Only God has the solution to it IMHO. Until then, a vigorous management and response to terrorists events is a must to maintain order.

Sad and angry bump. You know that this has a much higher likelyhood of being reported by the media in the USA if the shooters had been IDF and not Palestinians.

Keep dreaming you filthy animals!
"Arab civilians in several locales under Arafat's control celebrated in the streets the murder of the Jewish mother and her children."
What kind of a human being could walk up to innocent children and shoot them point blank? I think Israel should retaliate by going after family members of the terrorists....help them along in their quest to be with Allah in HELL!!!!

The entire Palestinian population should be rapidly sterilized so no new subhumans are born to that inferior gene pool!

Prayers out to the remaining family members, may the retaliation be swift and devastating.

I thought Islam was supposed to be a religion of peace? I heard our president say it on the TV.
Kind David should have exterminated Isma'il and all the Edomites when he had the chance. (help me on this one yonif was it King David that fought them first?)

There's a scene in heaven ... depicted in the book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ ... Chapter 8, verse 1 ... where there is a half an hour of silence.
The 144,000 are there,
The four winds are being held in check by four angels,
The rest of the angels are around the throne of God ...
And there is a half an hour of silence.
All HEAVEN is about to break loose.
I've imagined the HELL that was unleashed on Kissufim Road.
Israeli's!
Each man on a horse! (hummer with driver and loaded with a full ton of ammo)
Cordon off west to east the assaulting area and people.(hummers in a company front, 50 yds apart),
Wait 1/2 hour for them to escape or prepare ..
Drop the hummer in low gear and spray full auto 'till the valley is red.
God help us all.
This is a religious war.

Actually if it wasn't for the Edomites, Joseph would have never made it to Egypt and helped save the twelve tribes of Israel and brought about the redemtion of man through Christ on the cross.
The caravan that carried Joseph to Egypt and sold him into slavery were basically his cousins.
Pretty ironic, huh?
