On 23 August 2019, 17-year-old Israeli Rina Shnerb was killed by a roadside bomb. while hiking with her father, Rabbi Eitan Shnerb, and brother Dvir near Dolev, an Israeli settlement in the West Bank; her father and brother were wounded. Shnerb's funeral was held in Lod on 23 August.
Background
The murder took place near the spring of Ein Bubin, close to the Palestinian village of Deir Ibzi , whose lower lands near the spring area are abandoned because they are denied access save for two or three days a year.
On the day in question, three members of the Shnerb family, from Lod in Israel, were hiking in the West Bank.
Arrest of suspects and trial
In the aftermath, Israeli forces arrested three PFLP members allegedly responsible, one of whom was hospitalized with his life in danger after interrogation using "exceptional means" by Shin Bet.
On 5 March 2020, the Israeli Defense Force destroyed the homes of two suspected perpetrators in the Ramallah area.
Aftermath
Bezalel Smotrich of Yamina called for the annexation of the West Bank in response to Shnerb's killing. Hamas praised the attack, and Islamic Jihad called it a "natural response," while the Palestinian Authority said it was likely the work of a "highly organized cell" that posed a threat to the PA as well as Israelis.
Eight months after Rina's murder, on Tuesday, April 21, which was Yom HaShoah, her mother gave birth to a girl. Her parents considered naming the baby Rina, but decided t hat "Rina is still with us in spirit, and gave the new baby a different name.
Palestinian villagers have so far resisted efforts to take over the Ein Bubin spring and can still access it.(2)The father, an IDF reserve military chaplain, said that his message to the murderers was that ‘we are here and we are strong and we will prevail."
