Gavriel Pdahtzur, 50, of Kokhav Ya'ir was shot and killed early Monday morning near the ancient Maccabim graves, a popular hiking site. A woman with him was wounded to the point where she cannot yet recount what happened; she is listed in moderate condition. Kokhav Ya'ir, just west of the Shomron and north of Kfar Saba, is the hometown of Ehud Barak, Sha'ul Mofaz, and other famous figures.
