Another Arab hate-crime murder was perpetrated this morning. A Jewish resident of the northern Shomron, 63-year-old Tzvika Shelef, was shot in the head as he was driving near Tul Karem, along the Green Line in the Netanya area. A helicopter was rushed to the scene, but life-saving efforts failed and he died at the scene. Shelef was a founding member of his northern Shomron community Mevo Dotan, established in 1978. He was buried there late this afternoon.
Communal leaders in the Mevo Dotan area said that the behavior of Jews there would be governed by the principle, \"Whoever comes to kill you, kill him first.\" Jewish residents of the area clashed with PA Arabs in several locations today, including burning a field and throwing rocks; in one case, the police arrested a Jewish resident who was allegedly responsible for shooting two Arabs in self-defense.
