IDF captures terrorists who carried out attack that killed 17-year-old teen

Palestinian sources: IDF captured terrorists who killed teen girl in bomb attack

Israeli security forces captured the terrorists who carried out the attack on Friday, killing 17-year-old Rina Shnerb.

Israeli security forces captured the terrorists who carried out Friday’s attack at Danny’s Spring near the Jewish town of Dolev. The IDF said the two terrorists are residents of the Palestinian village of Kobar.

The capture followed a two-day manhunt as the IDF gradually closed in on the killers, first discovering their getaway vehicle and then arresting and interrogating several suspects in the Ramallah area on Sunday night.

The attack at Danny’s Spring claimed the life of Rina Shnerb, 17, severely injured her brother, Dvir, 19, and lightly injured her father, Rabbi Eitan Shnerb, 46. Dvir is expected to make a full recovery.

The three family members were visiting a spring named in memory of terror victim Dani Gonen, who was murdered there by Arab terrorists in 2015.

As they walked on the path leading to the spring, a land mine hidden by the terrorists was detonated. Rabbi Shnerb said afterwards that his daughter saved them all as she absorbed most of the blast.

In response to the attack, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Monday that he has instructed that a new neighborhood be built in Dolev. It will include 300 housing units.

“We will take root and cripple our enemies. We will continue to strengthen and develop the settlement,” the prime minister said.
