One of two children stabbed in a violent incident on Emek HaZeitim Street in Beit Shemesh has died from his injuries. Police arrested a suspect and launched an investigation into the circumstances of the stabbing.
Separately, a 4-year-old boy from the Toldos Aharon community was pronounced dead after being struck by a vehicle on Rabbi Chanina Street in Ramat Beit Shemesh Daled. He was transported to the hospital while undergoing resuscitation efforts.
He has been identified as Asher Anshel Fish Z”L.
Asher Anshel Z”L was the only son of R’ Moshe Aryeh Fish, a respected member of the Toldos Aharon kehillah in Beit Shemesh, and his mother, a member of the Sachs family and granddaughter of R’ Moshe Braun.
The family had lived in Yerushalayim until approximately two months ago, when they moved to Ramat Beit Shemesh Daled.
In a separate incident in Hadera, a one-and-a-half-year-old girl was seriously injured after falling from playground equipment at a shopping center.

I haven’t known what to say when I read this story. Horror and shock are all that I can muster in myself over this untimely and unfortunate set of tragedies. Dear G-D. Please comfort the surviving family members and grant peace and the heights of Shamayim for these beloved Neshomahs. Boruch Dayan HaEmes. Omein.
