Father-of-one killed in terror shooting
'He was a really good guy. He was a very sweet person'
A 25-year-old father of one is to be buried today [Friday] after being killed in a terrorist attack in the West Bank.
Yehudah Dimentman from the settlement of Shavei Shomron was in a car with two other people leaving Homesh where he was a yeshivah student when the vehicle was fired upon.
The other passengers escaped with minor injuries from the shattered glass.
One of the injured, Aviah Entman, said of Dimentman, “He was my friend. He was a really good guy. He was a very sweet person and was welcoming to everyone who wanted to speak with him. We got to talk a lot.”
He added, “It’s hard for me to believe he’s no longer with us. Just in our last conversation today he came to me all happy and said, ‘Today I won something.’ I asked him what happened and he told me his wife had asked him to take care of his child for awhile. He said he was happy he would be with the child.”
Dimentman’s older brother, Shlomi, told Ynet, “I heard there was a terror attack. I know the community there so I said a prayer.
“I didn’t want to call my brother because I thought he would be busy, so I prayed, and went home, then found out that Yehudah was among the injured.
“It’s a huge loss. I still haven’t absorbed it.”
Brig. Gen. Avi Bluth, commander of the IDF division responsible for the area, said at least 10 bullets were fired into the car.
“We are grabbing any threads there are to pull,” said Bluth, adding reinforcements were being brought into the area in the form of three infantry battalions, special forces and intelligence collection units.
The Palestinian terror groups Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine praised the attack, but did not immediately take responsibility for it.
