1. BEIT HORON TERROR VICTIM DIES OF HER WOUNDS
by Matt Wanderman
Shlomit Krigman, a 24-year-old woman who was stabbed during yesterday's terror attack in Beit Horon, has died of her wounds. Dotors at Hadassah Mount Scopus Hospital worked diligently to save her, but were unable to do so.
A statement from the Beit Horon community noted that "Shlomit was loved and well-known. She did her National Service with Bnei Akiva in Beit Horon. During the last year Shlomit lived with her grandfather and grandmother in the community."
The funeral will take place at 1:00 pm today (Tuesday), at Jerusalem's Har Hamenuhot Cemetery.
Yesterday afternoon, two terrorists stabbed Krigman. They then tried to enter a nearby store but were pushed out by the owner, who held a shopping cart between himself and the attackers. Once the two realized that they would not be able to get into the store, they ran towards another woman and stabbed her before running off.
The second victim, a 58-year-old woman with moderate stab wounds to her upper body, is still being treated at Sha'arei Tzedek Hospital. Doctors say that her condition is improving.
A nearby security guard shot and killed the two terrorists at the scene.

Hundreds of people have gathered together for the funeral of Shlomit Krigman, who was killed in yesterday's terror attack near Beit Horon.
Krigman is being buried in Har Hamenuchot cemetery in Jerusalem next to Dafna Meir, a fellow terror victim who was murdered in Otniel while protecting her children. Krigman was 23 years old and resided in Shadmot Mehola in the Jordan Valley. She left behind her six siblings and her parents Na'ama and Yitzchak.
Israel's Chief Rabbi David Leon eulogized Shlomit and said, "She set aside time to help others, she ran to do it, both in her job as a youth leader for the B'nei Akiva youth movement and by helping the current generation connect with books. She created a pleasant and accessible library. What a difference there is between a peaceful book and two terrorists running at you trying to stab people, and plant bombs along the way. This is a something that cannot be understood."

A spokesperson for Shadmot Mehola, Aviad Yizraeli, told Arutz Sheva that "the entire town took the news really hard. Shlomit served in national service for two years and then began her studies in Ariel University in the field of industrial design. She looked to havea glowing career ahead of her. She was loved by everyone here.
Krigman was the eldest sibling in her family who are veterans in the town. Her father Yitzchak works in the cow-shed, and her mother Na'ama works as the secretary for the local religious council. "Shlomit was a terrific and sweet girl, and so talented. She was a go-getter and a very social person" Yizraeli added."
The funeral was attended by other dignitaries including Deputy Minister of Defense Eli Ben Dahan (Jewish Home), MK Shuli Mualem (Jewish Home), MK Motti Yogev (Jewish Home) and the Chief officer of Central Command of the IDF Roni Numa.

3. 'SHE HAD SUCH A GOOD HEART, I'M IN COMPLETE SHOCK'
by Ido Ben-Porat
A heavy sadness has fallen on the community of Shadmot Mahola following last night's (Monday) attack in Beit Horon that left 23-year-old Shlomit Krigman dead.
Krigman, who grew up in Shadmot Mahola but lived with her grandparents in Beit Horon, was taken to Hadassah Mount Scopus Hospital with stab wounds to her upper body. Doctors were unable to save her life.
Her close friend Einat Dermer says that Krigman "was a considerate person who cared about her friends. She always wanted everything to be better. I am in complete shock.
"It hasn't sunk in. When they called me I was certain that it was to tell me she was engaged. She had such a good heart and was so empathetic to those around her. She was very creative. I still can't imagine returning home without Shlomit," she added in tears.
Others in the community said, "We are supporting and embracing the Krigman family. With all the pain and the sadness in losing Shomit hy"d, it is important that the enemy knows we are only getting stronger and more determined to keep our legitimate communities throughout the country, including in the Jordan Valley.
Shadmot Mahola has called on the government to fight Arab terror. "The responsibility for the security of the country's citizens is on the government and, as law-abiding citizens, it is our expectation. The recent security situation in the country is not reasonable and we cannot accept it. We all hope that the Israeli government will come around."
Krigman's funeral will take place at 1:00 pm at Jerusalem's Har Hamenuhot Cemetery.
4. SHIMON PERES RELEASED FROM HOSPITAL
by Matt Wanderman
Former President Shimon Peres has been released from Sheba Medical Center. He was diagnosed with a slight heart arrhythmia on Sunday and was kept under observation since then.
By yesterday he reported feeling better, but doctors insisted that he stay an extra night.
According to Peres's spokesperson, all of the tests came back with normal results. He will now return home.
Less than two weeks ago, the 92-year-old senior statesman suffered a minor heart attack and was hospitalized for several days. During that time, he underwent catheterization to widen an artery.
5. IDF WARNS HAMAS: WE WILL CLOSE GAZA CROSSINGS
by Raphael Poch
Major General Yoav Mordechai Poli, the commanding officer of the civil administration of the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), has threatened to close the checkpoints that allow Gaza residents into Israel.
Following Operation Protective Edge, Israel decided to allow some Gazans in need of medical assistance or in need of finding work to come into Israel. Those permitted enter through the Erez and Kerem Shalom crossings. Recently Hamas has been coercing these Gazans to carry out terror attacks inside Israel whenever they cross the checkpoint.
Poli threatened Hamas, saying that unless they cease coercion and incitement of those who cross over into Israel, Israel will have no choice but to close the crossings.
He issued the warning via the Al-Quds newspaper, as reported by Israel's Channel 10 news. According to the report, Poli said that, unless Hamas desists from trying to enlist every person who obtains a visa to enter Israel, Israel will be forced to shut down the crossings permanently. Poli said that the issue is making Israel think twice before issuing a permit to any Gaza resident.
Poli added that Hamas is preparing itself for another war against Israel at any cost, and does not care about the well-being of the residents of Gaza, financially or otherwise.
6. HOME OF ANATOT TERRORIST ALREADY SLATED FOR DESTRUCTION
by Orli Harrari
Israeli land NGO "Regavim" has revealed that the house of the terrorist who infiltrated the Jewish town of Anatot on Saturday and was subsequently killed, was an illegal structure that had already been slated for demolition.
The family of the thirteen-year-old terrorist came from the town of Ya'ata which is located inside the Palestinian Authority in the hills south of Hevron. They later moved to the Arab town of Anata close to Jerusalem. The area of land that the family built their home upon is privately owned and therefore the structure is illegal. The land lay fallow until 2008, when numerous illegal buildings were constructed on the land. The construction was done without the permission of the owners and seemingly was an attempted land grab.
Regavim sent an urgent letter to the Civil Administration on Monday illustrating the illegality of the buildings, and demanded that the structures, which include a metal scrap heap, be torn down. In addition to the illegality of the buildings, Regavim added that the scrap heap is polluting the land.
Moreover, as the terrorist lived in one of those homes, that home will be slated for demolition as well. Over Arad, the head of the Judea and Samaria department at Regavim stated that "we have recently witnessed that it takes a prolonged process for security forces to properly map and demolish the house of a terrorist. In this specific case we are dealing with an illegal structure that was built on privately owned land. We can destroy it today even, and it would be nice to do it as early as possible."
7. WATCH: KNIFE-WIELDING TERRORISTS DEFEATED BY A SHOPPING CART
by Ari Yashar
Footage from security cameras in the supermarket in Beit Horon, outside of which a stabbing attack took place Monday night, shows how an intrepid shopper managed to keep the two knife-wielding Arab terrorists at bay with a shopping cart.
[youtube:2011871]
The two had stabbed a woman aged 23, critically wounding her, and also stabbed and moderately wounded a woman aged 58, adjacent to the shop before trying to enter and inflict more casualties.
Fortunately one civilian on hand showed great ingenuity in pushing the terrorists with a cart at the door of the store, in footage released by Channel 2 on Monday night.
The attack appears to have been well planned, as the two terrorists infiltrated the town in the Binyamin region of Samaria, and apparently planted three improvised explosives near the store which were later found by security forces, before launching their attack.
A security guard shot the two terrorists and neutralized them; they later died of their wounds.
The IDF has cordoned off the Arab village the terrorists came from, and the IDF Civil Administration will freeze the work permits for their families and additional parties close to the two, if such persons are identified and specified.
The critically wounded victim was evacuated to Hadassah Mount Scopus Hospital in Jerusalem for continued treatment, and the other victim was likewise evacuated to the Shaare Tzedek Hospital in the capital.
The public has been asked to pray for the healing of Adina bat Tzofia and Shlomit bat Na'ama Rivka.
