The Jerusalem District Court has ordered the terrorist responsible for the attack in Yishuv Itamar in Shomron on June 20, 2002 to pay NIS 60 million to the bereaved family.
Killed in the attack was Rachel Shabo, along with three sons, Neria (16), Tzvika (13) and Avishai (5), as well as neighbor Yosef Twito who came to their aid.
The husband (father) Boaz was out of the home as were other children, Yariv (17), Atara (15), Avia (13) and Asael (8).
Justice Rafi Carmiel ruled the payment was punishment and an added deterrence to future attacks.
