| Two students of the Joseph's Tomb Yeshiva were murdered in an ambush
terrorist attack outside the community of Yitzhar. The two
unmarried victims - Shlomo Libman, 24, and Harel Bin-Nun, 20, son of
the Rabbi of Shilo, Elchanan Bin-Nun - were shot at close range as
they conducted a jeep patrol around the town. Tracks of the
terrorists were found to lead to one of the neighboring Arab villages,
which were placed under curfew. Transportation Minister Shaul Yahalom
called upon Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to halt the talks with
the PLO until the terrorist murderers are apprehended or handed over
to Israel.
The funeral of the two murdered Jews began at the Yeshivat Merkaz
Harav Kook in Jerusalem at 1 PM this afternoon. Former Chief Rabbis
Avraham Shapira and Mordechai Eliyahu delivered the first eulogies,
followed by Chief Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau, Rabbi Chaim Druckman, and
Transportation Minister Shaul Yahalom. Other government ministers and
public figures were also in attendance. The funeral traveled north
from Jerusalem along the main highway of Binyamin and Samaria to a
specially-prepared cemetery in Yitzhar, where it arrived after 5 PM.
The two victims were considered leading members in Yitzhar. Arutz-7
correspondent Kobi Sela reports that residents told him that Shlomo
Libman was called a "pillar" of the Od Yosef Chai yeshiva in the
'valley,' referring to Shechem, while Harel Bin-Nun was his parallel
on the 'mountain-top,' i.e., the new neighborhood outside Yitzhar.
