The Victims\u2019 Stories <\/strong><\/p>\n

Elad Yaakov Winkelstein<\/strong>
\nElad Winkelstein, 35, lived in Ein HaNatziv and served as an investigator at the Ariel police station. He had previously worked as the security officer for Kedumim and lived there for several years. During the attack, Winkelstein managed to fire two shots at the terrorists before being fatally struck. His son was in the vehicle at the time of the shooting. <\/p>\n

Winkelstein leaves behind his wife, Tal, and their children, Naveh and Omer. His funeral will take place this evening at 7:00 PM on Mount Herzl. <\/p>\n

Rachel Cohen <\/strong>
\nRachel Cohen, 73, was a retired educational counselor and resident of Kedumim. She is survived by her husband and five daughters. Her daughter, Naomi, eulogized her:”Mom was a woman full of joy, kindness, and positive energy. She radiated goodness to everyone, full of faith and love. She was our family\u2019s guiding light, a loving mother and grandmother. Mom taught us to see the good in life, and she dedicated her years to helping countless people, always listening and supporting everyone unconditionally. Her loss is a deep void, but her legacy of love and optimism will remain with us.” <\/p>\n

Aliza Reis <\/strong>
\nAliza Reis, 70, was also a resident of Kedumim and worked as an educational counselor. She leaves behind her children and family. Her son, Yair, shared: “We were planning a surprise 70th birthday party for her next week. Mom was larger than life, achieving so much through sheer determination. Like Rabbi Akiva, she began studying at university only at 40 and never gave up. She was a strong woman, always thinking of others. A founding member of Kedumim, she volunteered tirelessly for the Civil Guard and was a gifted counselor who continued to guide even after retiring. She saw only the good in others and loved life and her family above all.” <\/p>\n

The Attack and Ongoing Pursuit of the Terrorists <\/strong><\/p>\n

Footage from the scene shows the terrorists arriving in a white vehicle. One opened fire on a bus and a car, while another was seen near the trunk of the car. The attackers are believed to have fled to nearby Palestinian villages. The IDF has launched a manhunt, deploying large forces, blocking roads, and imposing a military closure on villages in the area to prevent further escapes. <\/p>\n

“We must turn Judea and Samaria into the central front in the IDF\u2019s fight against terror,” security officials emphasized. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
