02-Dec-14: Israeli victim of yesterday's attack-by-driver has died of his injuries

Avraham Ben-Zion, the 68 year old Jewish man seriously wounded in yesterday’s vehicle attack at Tzomet Alon (Highway 505 East of Migdalim/Eastern Shomron) has died in Beilinson Hospital. The family is donating his organs to those in need. The police and IDF are still investigating yesterday’s attack.

We reported on the attack yesterday: "01-Dec-14: Terror-attack-by-driver... again". Earlier today, Israel National News reported that

Police and IDF forces arrested three people last night (Monday) in the southern Samarian Palestinian Arab village of Kablan, suspected of being involved in the hit-and-run of a middle-aged man yesterday afternoon at the Alon intersection in Samaria. The man, in his 50's, suffered serious injuries, and had to be intubated before being evacuated from the scene by helicopter. The truck driver fled the area. At this point, the IDF has said that they have not excluded any line of inquiry, and the suspects have been handed over to Shabak (Shin-Bet, Israel Intelligence Agency) for interrogation.

We are not aware of any charges being laid against the three or anyone else at this stage.

UPDATE Wednesday 3-Dec-14: And now it's reported that a gag order has been imposed by a court at the request of the police.

Anonymous said...: Given the incompetence of Israel's police, as evidenced by the poor performance of Chief Danino and his attempts to blame Israel's Jews for the ongoing war of terror rather than on the arabs, it is hardly surprising that they would want to suppress the details of this latest terrorist attack by arabs on a Jew.

About us

THIS ONGOING WAR is not part of the activity of the Malki Foundation which was founded by us, Frimet and Arnold Roth of Jerusalem, on September 11, 2001. But it is inspired by the same tragic circumstances. The Malki Foundation (also known by its Hebrew name: Keren Malki) is a memorial to the life of our daughter, Malki who was murdered at the age of 15 in a massacre in the centre of Jerusalem carried out by Hamas.

Beyond its function as a remembrance of a beautiful life, the foundation provides tangible, concrete, invaluable support daily to several thousand Israeli families from every part of the religious and socio-economic spectrum: Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze and others who care at home for a seriously disabled child.

Good for the soul | The Malki Foundation

If you care to make a positive and constructive contribution to the care of Israeli children with special needs - whether they're Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze or unconnected to any particular faith community - you can't do better than direct your donation to the work of the Malki Foundation.

It's the charitable organization we, the bloggers who produce This Ongoing War, established in 2001 in memory of our murdered daughter. Her name is Malki.

Keren Malki (in Hebrew, Keren means 'foundation' or 'fund') is efficient, effective, non-sectarian, non-political and unique in the good work it does. Thousands of families from every part of our richly diverse society here in Israel have benefited in concrete and meaningful ways. Donations to Keren Malki are tax-effective in Israel, Canada, UK and the United States.

There's also plenty of background at www.malkifoundation.org as well as on the Malki Foundation Blog.
