Meir Tamari, a young father from a Lubavitcher family, was murdered in a terrorist shooting attack near the city of Hermesh in the Shomron on Tuesday morning.
Tamari, who was shot dead by terrorists on Tuesday, is married and the father of two children, ages one and three.
Tamari moved to Hermesh four years ago, after marrying his wife, who grew up in the town. Just recently, the couple finished building their home.
Initial investigations show that a passing car with two terrorists in it passed Tamari’s car and the terrorists fired an estimated seven bullets at him with an M16.
Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics worked with IDF medical forces to provide first aid to Tamari, who suffered wounds to his upper body, and he was evacuated to Hillel Yaffe Medical Center in Hadera. According to the hospital, Tamari “arrived with a critical injury. Unfortunately, despite enormous efforts by the medical staff, the staff was forced to declare his death. The family has been notified.”
Yossi Dagan, head of the Shomron Regional Council, noted that there was once an IDF checkpoint where the attack took place, but it was deactivated due to international pressure.
“The writing was on the wall. If the checkpoint had been active, the attack would have been avoided,” Dagan said.
