Israelis live with the daily threat of random Palestinian jihad attacks, not only from rocket fire but also from random stabbings and shootings.
“Residents of the ‘Gav HaHar’ communities including Har Bracha are required to drive thorough the Arab village of Chawarah to and from their homes.” While driving through this “hornet nest of terror,” an Israeli father managed to save his teen daughter’s life from a jihad attack by shooting the jihadi before she could be harmed.
The Israeli communities of Gav HaHar and Har Bracha border the city of Shechem on so-called “disputed territory,” even though Shechem is historically Jewish land. It’s the location of Joseph’s Tomb, and is also known as the first place where the patriarch Abraham built an altar to God. It is now known as a “hornet nest of terror.”
“Israeli Father Shoots & Kills Palestinian Terrorist Attempting to Stab His Daughter,” Yeshiva World News, April 3, 2019:
B’chasdei Hashem, yet another attempted stabbing attack was averted by the quick actions of a civilian driver, Yehoshua Sherman of Elon Moreh, who shot and critically wounded the terrorist, who died a short time later in Beilinson Hospital in Petach Tikvah.
The attempted attack occurred at about 8:40 AM Wednesday morning at Chawarah Junction, south of Shechem. The terrorist, armed with a knife, opened the door of a private vehicle passing through the area, trying to attack the passenger seated in the front of the car. The driver, Yehoshua, the father of the teenage girl in the passenger seat, pulled his pistol and fired at the terrorist, critically wounding him.
The attack occurred on Route 60, the primary north-south vehicular route in Shomron, as the residents of the ‘Gav HaHar’ communities including Har Bracha are required to drive thorough the Arab village of Chawarah to and from their homes.
“I was on my way to work at the party office and was driving from Elon Moreh towards Tapuah,” Sherman told TPS. “At Beytot Junction, a terrorist carrying a knife jumped on my car, and tried to open one of the doors. I got out, and while the terrorist was trying to go around the car to approach me, I shot and neutralized him…..

Good choice… Shoot a rabid dog.

My dog and I object to your comparison, Pawel.
Naram-Sin says
You have a rabid dog as a pet?
Charles says
Haw, Avanti ! Pawel only meant shooting the rabies, not the poor mutt !

Made my morning! But please, dear C. D.-W., let’s stop referring to these people as ‘Palestinians’- there haven’t been any of those for well over 2000 years! They are ARAB Muslims, descendants of those who came out of Arabia like a cloud of locusts after their fake ‘Prophet’ died in 632 A.D.
Arnold Jackson says
There has never been a nation named Palestine nor has there ever been a people called Palestinians. Anyone who claims otherwise is either deliberately lying or spreading false information.

I love a story,with a happy ending !!!!

I guess the “Palestinians” won’t be serving ‘sweets’ to celebrate this looser.

All’s well that ends well the attacker attained martyrdom and normal people are rid of him. This is a win/win.
alex says
His corpse should be smeared with lard and buried in swine leather though, to deter similar Islamist aggressors. Also, all law-abiding Jewish adults in Israeli should be allowed to pack guns like this heroic dad.
Geoffrey de Brito says
That the attacker died without killing any innocents is a good thing. That the attacker, in the eyes of other Muslims attained martyrdom and by their beliefs attained paradise is a BAD thing.
BTW, it doesn’t matter whether he actually gets his paradise or is sent to hell. What matters is that other Muslims believe that he, having died in service to Allah has gone to paradise… as that is the incentive for fanatical Muslims to engage in violent jihad.
But there is a way to turn that dynamic around.
Had the father shot the attacker with a gun that had been regularly cleaned with “Silver Bullet Gun Oil” by Allah’s own declaration inthe Qur’an, that jihadist would by their own beliefs be eternally banned from paradise because an “unclean” Muslim cannot enter paradise and “Silver Bullet Gun Oil” contains 13% liquefied pig fat for the expressed purpose of denying Muslims “a place in paradise.”
And, it doesn’t matter whether any contact with any part of a pig actually denies entrance into paradise. What matters is that is what they BELIEVE.
You gain leverage over an enemy by attaching to their aggression, what for them is intolerable consequence.
Should young potential jihadists start to realize that violent jihad now risks eternal damnation, the “risk/reward” ratio changes and recruitment will plummet.
alex says
Geoffrey: that’s an excellent point. In line with my suggestion above, it should be publicly announced that gun-packing Jewish Israelis use bullets that have been taiinted with pig fat, as you have said. That could add another dimension to the deterrence factor, especially if an Islamist terrorist’s comrades could spirit away his body before anyone else could get a hold of it.

Good piece of dog shit is dead . Least he will not hurt no more innocents .Should happen more often. Poor mudslime with a dirty turban
Battle says
I hope Yehoshua Sherman was using Silver Bullet Gun Oil.
oarizon says
The doors of the Renault lock automatically when the car reaches a few kph.
Why did the attacker assume the door would be unlocked?
