--Shmuel Salomon, whose father, brother and sister were murdered by a Palestinian teen in Halamish settlement. 'A.', a neighbor serving in the army, shot and injured the attacker, stopping him, but A. did not execute him.* A. is expected to receive an IDF hero's medal.*
Quote of the Day #2:
"Now it turns out that what happened in Jordan was not a (terror) attack, but a dispute that boiled over into a shooting incident, in which in the end, the (Israeli) guard shot and killed two Jordanians - and not the attacker who held the screwdriver and tried to stab him. That is not how an incident like that is supposed to end. The closeness of the two incidents, and the political and public reaction, sharpen the question over who is really fit to be called a hero.”
--Yedioth military analyst Yossi Yehoshua writes why the IDF will give A. a hero's medal.*
