The heads of Israel’s religious-public education system (Chemed) visited on Wednesday the various educational institutions in the southern Hevron Hills community of Otniel, following the murder of Dafna Meir. A condolence visit was also paid to the Meir family’s home.

Following the visit, Chemed leader Dr. Avraham Lifschitz said that “We came in order to strengthen the educational staff, students and children… We came to comfort and we came out strengthened by the loving family.”
