- Hallel Yafa Ariel, 13 years old, was on summer vacation, having just finished the 8th grade when, on the early morning of June 29, she was stabbed dozens of times in her bed by a Palestinian terrorist. He also tried to decapitate her.
- The terrorist-murderer was 17 years old, Muhammad Taraiyre, from the village of Bani Naim.
He climbed the village fence at 8:44 AM, was spotted by security cameras, but made his way quickly to the Ariel house, where he killed the child. He also injured a security guard before being neutralized.
- Typically Palestinians choose Jewish children, women, and the elderly as targets of terror. The killer went straight for her bedroom, so he had already targeted this particular child.
- Her murder may have been inspired by an exceptionally vile statement made this week by a high PA official, Abbas’ advisor and Fatah Central Committee member Sultan Abu Al-Einein, who urged Arabs to seek out Israelis in order to cut off their heads. The killer was trying to decapitate the child, but he also inflicted other lethal stab wounds on her.
- Palestinian officials are already hailing the killer as a hero.
- The killer's mother already stated that she was proud of her son. She and her family will immediately begin receiving a salary as reward for the killing of a Jew. Salaries to terrorists are paid for with aid money received from US and EU taxpayers.
The family and the community react in sorrow
This morning Rina Ariel, the mother of the victim, spoke at the hospital, saying, “My daughter was simply asleep, calm and serene, she was happy, and a terrorist came to her bed, in Kiryat Arba, and killed her… I want everyone to see our pain and to come console us. Hallel, may your memory be a blessing.”
The father of 13-year-old Hallel-Yaffa Ariel, spoke: "Hallel loved living here, loved the place. She wasn't afraid of anyone. She never imagined - nor did anyone else - that an evil person, one of 1.5 billion Muslims who just want to drown the world in rivers of blood. That's what they live for. It's terrible, just think about it: A little girl who did nothing."
He recalled his gifted girl's dreams of becoming a dancer. "Last night she came back from a dance performance," Amichai Ariel recounted. "She was an amazing girl. She worked very hard for years to become a dancer. She put so much effort into everything she did. God gave her a great mind, lots of wisdom. She was so bright."
The local Jewish community issued a statement: "The local Arab population works in Kiryat Arba without any sense of discrimination. Even thirty minutes after the murder, Arabs were seen working in the town unhindered. Our fight is not with the Arabs, but with the Jihad — a supremacist ideology."
Palestinian leaders' incitement to kill Jews continues
The murder of 13-year-old Hallel Ariel Thursday morning may have been inspired by an exceptionally vile statement made this week by a high PA official, Abbas’ advisor and Fatah Central Committee member Sultan Abu Al-Einein, (photo) who on Monday urged Arabs to seek out Israelis in order to cut off their heads.The statement was made during an interview with Donia Al-Watan, an independent Palestinian news agency, about building peaceful and normal relations with Israel, according to Palestinian Media Watch. Abu Al-Einein explained that he rejects “negotiations, meetings, and normalization” activities and believes that when a Palestinian meets an Israeli he should kill him.

UPDATE - July 1, 2016
President Obama has failed to make any kind of statement of condolences to the family and to Israel. The State Department confirmed she was a US citizen and much later, under public pressure, issued a statement of condemnation of this crime.
The White House and the EU do NOT regard the murder of Jews by Muslims as terror.

During the January 2015 Paris peace march against terror, the French government invited arch-terrorist Palestinian chief Mahmoud Abbas (who had bragged of having killed 11,000 Israelis) as a guest of honor.
Those same French authorities told the Israeli PM to stay home because he would make them uncomfortable. This after Muslim terrorists had gone on a murder spree that had killed several French journalists at Charlie Hebdo magazine, and a number of Jewish customers at a Kosher deli.
Continue reading and see articles and videos on previous acts of carnage by Palestinians, including those against the Fogel family, where terrorists killed several small children, and later smiled and said they were very proud of their acts. They are now in prison receiving salaries paid for by the Palestinian Authority, generously funded by US-EU taxpayers.
