Bat Ayin is a religious village located in the Gush Etzion area. South of Jerusalem, right next to Hebron and Kiryat Arba.
The inhabitants are mainly Baalei Teshuva (Jews turning religious later in their lives) and most of them are identifying either with Chabad or Breslov. In Israel, the community is known for being very far right - wing and furthermore, there are certain rules to be kept within the community. One of them is that no Arab workers are allowed in. Among religious people, Bat Ayin always has the reputation of being a hippie village with a hippie Yeshiva. Flower Power, musicians, artists, etc.
Shlomo Nativ z"l
Yesterday, a Palestinian terrorist entered the village with an axe in his hand and tried to kill children. The children were playing outside; enjoying the great weather and their Pessach vacation.
The terrorist killed the 13 year - old - Shlomo Nativ and injured the 7 - year - old Yair Gamliel. Yair has a broken skull and was hospitalized at the Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem.
The village is in shock; especially because the terrorist succeeded to escaped. The army set up checkpoints everywhere and has been searching for him.
Another tragedy showing us that we should never allow terrorists to be freed out of Israeli prisons.
