Rabbi Raziel Shevach, a 35-year-old father of six, has died of his wounds following a shooting attack near Havat Gilad in Samaria this evening.
Rabbi Shevach was a mohel and volunteered with Magen David Adom. About a year ago, he finished studies for the rabbinate, and was currently in the midst of studies to be a rabbinical arbiter.
The rabbi leaves behind a wife, 4 daughters and 2 sons, the younger of which is an 8-month-old baby. Details for the funeral have not yet been set.
Medics who rushed to the scene provided aid to the rabbi and evacuated him to Meir Hospital in Kfar Saba, where doctors fought to save his life, but were ultimately forced to confirm his death.
The hospital said that "The wounded man arrived to the hospital without pulse, not breathing, and without vital signs. He was brought to the trauma room, where advanced resuscitation efforts were employed. Unfortunately, despite the efforts, his death was confirmed."
Initial reports indicated that terrorists shot from a passing vehicle and escaped the scene.
Following the attack, the head of the IDF Central Command, Major General Roni Numa, conducted an assessment of the situation, together with the Commander of the Judea and Samaria Division, Brigadier General Eran Niv, and the Commander of the Samaria Regional Division, Col. Gilad Amit.
During the assessment it was decided on a series of steps to locate the terrorists who carried out the attack, including a full check of the entrances and exits to the city of Shechem (Nablus), the deployment of many forces and the setting up of roadblocks in the area. Additional forces have been sent to the area.

RIP.
Prayers.
The only “occupiers” are of Jewish land by Jordanians who falsely call themselves “Palestinians.” Unless they are all driven back near or preferably into Jordan, there can never be “peace.”
Prayers up.
How terribly sad! That 8-month baby won’t ever even remember his father. RIP, Rabbi!
How terrible. May his memory be a blessing to his family. Poor kids, losing their father so young to a bestial murderer. But let’s import LOTS more just like these subhumans to our country, ‘kay?
