The father of one of the victims of the Monday night Shomron drive-by terrorist shooting attack asks the tzibur to be mispallel for his son “with a full heart”. The victims in the attack are all residents of Kochav HaShachar, a yishuv in the Binyamin Regional Council district of Shomron. They were returning home from a basketball game in the sports center in Yishuv Eli when gunfire rang out from a passing vehicle on the Alon Road, near Shvut Rachel.

Four victims were treated by EMS on the scene and transported to Shaare Zedek Medical Center and Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital, both in the capital. The two victims in Hadassah are in moderate condition. One of the victims in Shaare Zedek is in moderate condition and the second critical.

Critically injured is Malachi Moshe Rosenfeld, who lost his older brother, an air force pilot, during a hike in Nachal Tzeilim in 2002.

Mr. Eliezer Rosenfeld, his father, told reporters in Shaare Zedek on Monday night “We are in a difficult period. We are aware there is koach to your tefilos. Please daven for my son with a full heart that HKBH will send him a complete recovery and save him. We are confident He will send him the koach to fight and that the doctors will perform as they should. We trust them – they are big angels like our son. Thank you and thanks to all of Am Yisrael”.

Malachi’s condition is described as “serious/life-threatening” at this hour.
