The names of the six victims of last night\'s cruel terrorist attack in Hadera were released early this morning. They are:
Anatoli Bakshayev, 63, and Edward Bakshayev, 48, both from Or Akiva;
Boris Milichov, 56, S\'derot;
Dina Benayev, 48, Ashkelon;
Aaron Ben-Yisrael Alise, 32, from Ra\'anana;
Avi Yazdi, 25, of Hadera; he was the hall\'s guard, shot first by the terrorist.
The lone terrorist entered the Armon David Catering Hall on Hadera\'s main street - HaNasi Blvd. - as the guests at a Bat Mitzvah celebration were leaving the hall. Armed with an M-16 automatic rifle, at least one grenade, and possibly a pack of explosives, he shot the guard at the entrance and burst into the hall, shooting in all directions. He murdered six people, and wounded over 30. When he ran out of bullets, he attempted to insert another magazine into his rifle, but at that point, the guests, many of them recent immigrants from the former Soviet Union, began throwing chairs and bottles at the terrorist and forced him out towards the lobby. Police who arrived within four minutes of the beginning of the attack shot him to death. Policeman Shimon Lugasi later recounted, \"I saw [the terrorist] lying on the floor... I saw from his hand movements that he was trying to activate what looked like an explosives pack on his belt. I told everyone to get far away, and then I and the other policeman and a volunteer shot him [to death].\"
Three of the injured are reported in very serious condition. The Fatah organization claimed responsibility for the attack, which was carried out by a 26-year-old terrorist from the Shechem area.
