Kiryat Arba Terror Victim
On Saturday night, October 29th, a terrorist opened fire with an M-16 rifle outside a convenience store between the Judean cities of Hebron and Kiryat Arba. He then drove away.
In that first shooting, 50-year-old Ronen Hanania was tragically killed by a bullet to his head. Two others, including Ronen’s 19-year-old son Daniel, were lightly injured.
Eight minutes after he escaped, the terrorist brazenly came back and fired on the security and medical personnel attending to the injured.
In that second round of fire, Ofer Ohana, a volunteer medic for Rescue Without Borders, was seriously injured. The terrorist was then killed.
Ofer was immediately taken to the hospital in Jerusalem. He underwent two major surgeries and a stay in intensive care and is currently in stable condition, thank God. But his life will never be the same.
Ronen Hanania was murdered, and Ofer Ohana was seriously injured for one reason only: They were Jews defending their Biblical Homeland.
Ronen, Ofer, and the two other injured people were hard-working men who dedicated their lives to raising families and resettling the Biblical Heartland of Israel.
They could have lived anywhere in Israel but felt a calling to live close to the Tomb of the Patriarchs – Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Ronen leaves behind his wife Meirav, his son Daniel, and most tragically, his elderly mother, Perala.
WHY SHOULD AN ELDERLY MOTHER HAVE TO SUFFER LIKE THIS?! TO BURY HER BELOVED SON?
The pain of losing a son, husband, and father is unimaginable. All the more so when he’s been murdered in cold blood by a terrorist.
Ofer is thankfully alive, but he will need several weeks of recovery. During that time, he will be losing critical income, and he might not be able to work.
Will his family be forced into poverty just because their father was doing his job as a volunteer medic, trying to save lives?

A letter from our founder, Rabbi Tuly Weisz
I started Israel365 in 2012 as an email to friends and family. The goal was to connect the Lovers of Israel with the Land and People of Israel, every day of the year.
“It is a land which Hashem God looks after, on which Hashem your God always keeps His eye, from year’s beginning to year’s end.” (Deuteronomy 11:12)
Ten years later, Israel 365 has blossomed. We now bring the Land of the Bible into the homes and hearts of millions of Jews and Christians around the world. Our readers love our daily emails, our Israel Bible, and the causes we support. Our regular charity projects in Israel include renovating the apartments of Holocaust survivors, programs for IDF soldiers, and assisting terror victims financially. We also plant trees to beautify the Land, and support farmers who observe the Sabbatical (Shemittah) year.
Please join us and bring the blessings of the Land and People of Israel to the whole world.
“I will bless those who bless you…And all the families of the earth will bless themselves by you.” (Genesis 12:3)
