Shalhevet Pass

March 26, 2001 - March 26, 2001 Terrorist gunfire kills one and injures one in Hebron At about 5:00 this afternoon an Arab sniper shot and killed a 10 month old baby girl, Shalhevet Techiya Pass, and wounded her father, Yitzhak Pass, with two bullets in the legs. They were shot at the entrance to the Avraham Avinu neighborhood.

The baby was in the mother's arms at the time of the shooting and was hit in the head. Emergency medical teams arrived immediately.

The father was treated and evacuated to hospital. The doctors were not able to save the baby.

Thank you for posting this. A second child (a two or three year old) was also injured. I'll go through the archives to find it if you wish. The worst thing is that the Palestinians justified this, claiming this baby was a "settler". Their view is that the West Bank must be Judenrein. Never mind that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are buried in Hebron, which is sacred to Jews. Never mind that there was a continuous Jewish presence in Hebron from Biblical times until 1929, when the self-same Palestinians either killed or drove out the Jewish inhabitants. 67 of Hebron's Jews died in one day. Never mind that there was no Jewish state or "occupation" in 1929. Yes, indeed, she was a settler. It made my blood boil then, and it does now.
