Ari Fuld, an American-Israeli who lived in the Israeli settlement of Efrat, was stabbed to death by a Palestinian at the Gush Etzion Junction in the West Bank on 16 September 2018.
He was well-known on social media for his pro-Israel advocacy, and worked for an organization that supports Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers.
[4][5][6] On 16 September 2018, while waiting outside of a shopping mall at the Gush Etzion Junction, 17-year-old Palestinian Khalil Yusef Ali Jabarin stabbed Fuld in the back.
[9] Fuld was credited with possibly saving the life of a mall employee when he stopped the terrorist, who ran at the woman with his knife drawn.
[13] The day after Fuld's murder, IDF soldiers raided the Jabarin home to map out the building and prepare it for demolition.
[14][15] The IDF released a statement that they will destroy the Jabarin's home in order "to act determinedly to prevent terror attacks and to deter terrorists".
