Ynetnews.com reports:
The three Israelis murdered in the terror attack in Halamish on Friday night were named Saturday as Yosef Salomon, 70, and his children Chaya Salomon, 46, and Elad Salomon, 35.
Yosef’s wife Tovah Salomon, 68, who was seriously wounded in the attack, “was close to the front door, saw the attacker coming in and remembers the entire incident well—from the moment the attacker came in to the stabbing of the other family members,” said Dr. Ofer Merin, the head of trauma at the Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem.
Dr. Merin said Tovah’s situation has improved. “She was stabbed several times in the back and was brought to us bleeding but stable. Shortly afterwards she underwent surgery,” he said.
Elad Salomon was living in the city of Elad in central Israel and working in computers. He is survived by a wife and five children.
“Elad was a happy man and a devoted father of five,” his friend Assaf said. “He took a break from to be with the twins who were born a year ago, while his wife went back to work. He was friendly, a family man. Elad was salt of the Earth, with strong ties to the Land of Israel. He was a moderate man who didn’t like talking politics.”
Haya Salomon was a second grade homeroom teacher at the girls’ school Noam HaMeiri in Lod.
The attack took place on Friday night at around 9:30pm, when ten members of the family sat down for Friday night dinner as well as to celebrate the Shalom Zachor of a new grandchild.
A preliminary investigation found that that the terrorist, 19-year-old Omar al-Abed from the nearby village of Kobar, surprised the family and managed to stab four of its members.
Elad Salomon’s wife managed to save herself and the five children who came to visit their grandparents by hiding them in a nearby room, after which she called the police and shouted there was a terrorist in the house who was stabbing those still in the living room. Rescue teams were alerted and rushed to the scene.
The victims fought the terrorist and shouted for help. A neighbor who is also a paramedic serving in the IDF’s canine Special Forces unit Oketz heard their cries and quickly responded by shooting the terrorist through a window, thereby preventing more casualties among the family.
Another paramedic, who treated the victims of the attack, said the terrorist was lying next to his victims after being shot. He then tried to attack the paramedics, but was stopped by security forces who had also arrived at the scene. The terrorist was evacuated to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva for treatment, and has since been released and taken into custody.

Hashem wants us to choose the right choice and the normal and sane choice: to stand up for our selves! Shulchan Aruch Hilchos Shabbos ch. 329
Did you ever did you ever look into the Rebbe’s advice on security in Eretz Yisroel?
It’s all available to study and (for those ‘Shpitz Chabad’ who claim they know it already) to conscientiously REstudy!
I dont uderstand, why this monster wasnt shut to death? why? why they try to heal him and keep him alive? why? they should cut his hands and legs and throw him to his nation! let hm suffer all his life in this world instead sleeping peasefully under the groud. This method of punishment is going to refrain others from killing. All the people should demonstrate to punish him to death. In different country they dont keep those monsters alive.
children and the elderly, unless they were themselves killers, unlike the ‘heroic’ terrorists who seek out the most vulnerable and weakest victims to murder. Terrorists are the biggest cowards in the world in truth!
Arab, after having endured the deaths of untold numbers of his brethren and the media has a field day with it. We never hear the end of it. The picture they paint to an uninformed public is the opposite of what is. During WWII the murder of European Jewry seldom made front page news either!
This evening at 23:30 (11:30pm), Israel time so convert to your location (Miami New York 4:30pm) due to the piguah in Halamish and the tensions on Har habait just before the 9 days of Av, we will mobilize for a special prayer and we will turn to Heaven, we will say the Shema Israel followed by the tehilim 120 and a personal prayer from the bottom of our heart to ask for the geulah, the security and peace… Set your alarm now – copy and paste this message to forward and share with as many people as possible!! Mashiach Now!!
blood, over the last 10 to 15 years with next to no mention or interest in world media
Not a word on the BBC this morning (Sunday), just an interview with a Palestinian saying how discussing it is that the Israeli government has put security measures in place at the Al aksa mosque, ONE of the holiest places for Arabs!!! THE holiest place for Hidden!9
We need another Boruch Goldstei who gets permission and weapons from the government and “escapes” without being found like many Arabs somehow escape after a terror attack. Time for the government to fight back and not let things go by blindly.
My sentiments exactly!!!! No mention!
Is running the story on the banner at bottom of screen & has been since after Shabbos
What will happen to the terrorist yimach shemo?? When will our country make it obvious that it does not pay to butcher Jews in their own country?
why should the world press be concerned. This would have made news if the terrorist was killed, as it should have been. If Israel doesn’t show abhorrence at this nobody else will for sure!
Israel treated the terrorist instead of letting him bleed to death .They believe they are being humane by doing so .Act of war ,unless Israel retaliates or takes over the Temple Mount they are doomed & suckers living as target practice in the settelment areas should pack their bags & leave Israel unless people such as Netanyahu take up residence their .
Stabbed? Brutally slaughtered and murdered without any word from the media or any slight feeling of disgust in the heart of this filthy arab scum YM”S
…..
Nothing on any of the news sites far as I can see, including fox news. Not surprised but I think it should be mentioned.
you got it only partially right. It will all end when Moshiach comes. When there is peace in the world even if the sick corrupt officials (made up of some sickening self hating Jews who belong in jail for life for betraying their country and their people) will stop putting in prison and torturing ( through endless trials) If chas veshalom Hashem wants bad then bad there will be. We need Moshiach. Ad mosai
It will end when the sick corrupt officials (made up of some sickening self hating Jews who belong in jail for life for betraying their country and their people) will stop putting in prison and torturing ( through endless trials) heroes like elor azaria who protect the Jewish people.
When will it end? We can’t take any more of this it’s ridiculously become routine to see our own murdered on Jewish land.
When will the world wake up? When will HaShem decide that enough is enough??? I’ve been struggling with this so much lately how much Jewish lives need to be sacrificed until moshiach finally comes?
Please Hashem bring moshiach and comfort your children!
was stopped by security forces . yea after 3 dead then came security . . if he tried to attack the paramedics
why did they not put his lits out ?
now he will be let out of jail in the next swap
