The three high school boys murdered on their campus in Itamar lst night are Netanel Reiachi, 17, of Kokhav Yaakov; Avraham Siton, 17, of Shilo; and Gil\'ad Shtieglitz, 15, of Yakir. All three are from communities in Judea and Samaria. Netanel\'s funeral will depart from his hometown just north of Jerusalem at 12:15 today. The other funerals are in the process of being organized.
The terrorist climbed over or through the fence that surrounds Itamar, and encountered two students. He shot them, and ran after several other students towards the basketball court. He continued shooting, then ran towards the dormitory where he shot other students. At this point, the yeshiva guard and the community security officer arrived on the scene and shot and killed the terrorist. In addition to the three dead, two students were wounded and are listed in light-to-moderate condition.
The army immediately imposed a closure upon the nearby village Beit Furik. It is assumed that the terrorist, a resident of Shechem, hid out there for several hours before he attacked. Rabbi Avi Ronsky, a Col. in reserves and a teacher at the yeshiva, said this morning that the army cut down on the number of IDF guards in Itamar last week.
