Five-year-old Danielle Shefi, the youngest of the four Jews murdered in yesterday’s Arab terrorist attack in Adura, will be laid to rest this morning in Kiryat Gat. She was killed early yesterday morning when two Arabs disguised as IDF soldiers infiltrated the west-of-Hevron community and began firing automatic weapons into homes. Seven residents were wounded, including one seriously and three listed in moderate condition.
At around 9:15 AM, the Moslem terrorists cut a hole in the Adura security fence, then began advancing on the first homes they saw. They shot through the windows of several homes and broke in to at least another one. The attack began while many men in the town, including members of the emergency first-response unit, were at the synagogue for Sabbath morning prayers.
The five-year-old victim was killed when a terrorist entered her home and shot her as she lay in her bed. Photographs of the little girl\'s bedroom show her Mickey Mouse sheets soaked with blood; her mother and two brothers were wounded. Her father, Yaakov, later said tearfully, \"I was in the neighbor\'s house at the time, and when I heard that terrorists were shooting in the rooms in my house, I thought I was alone in the world. The reason why I still have a wife, and two children, is because of the bravery of my wife [who hid the two other children, aged 1 and 4]… The terrorist came into Danielle\'s room - just five years old, an angel! - and she thought it was an Israeli soldier, and she looked at him with wide eyes as he started to shoot at her! … These Palestinian terrorists, when they have guns in their hands, they simply don\'t care who they\'re shooting, even little children…\"
Also murdered in the attack were 45-year-old Katya Greenberg, shot in her bedroom; her husband Vladimir was seriously wounded. In addition, two members of the town’s emergency response team, Ya’akov Katz, 50, and Arik Becker, 23, were also killed in an exchange of gunfire with the terrorists on the street. Arik Becker will be buried this afternoon in Jerusalem. After the attack, which lasted for about 15 minutes, the terrorists fled through the same hole in the fence they had entered. IDF soldiers pursued the terrorists and killed one after he opened fire at the troops in the village of Tufah, east of Adura.
Defense officials, realizing the importance of spreading the images of the terrorist attack as far around the world as possible, encouraged camera crews to enter the homes of the victims - with the families\' permission - and film the scenes. Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer said that the international community should see the images from inside Danielle Shefi’s bedroom \"to see what a real massacre looks like.\"
MK Avigdor Lieberman (Yisrael Beiteinu) said that Israel should respond with an assault on Yasser Arafat\'s Mukata headquarters. Lieberman said that the murderers of Tourism Minister Rechavam Ze’evi should be arrested along with Fuad Shubaki, the mastermind behind the Karin A arms-smuggling operation.
