Hananyah, the son of media advisor Arik Ben-Shimon, was wounded in the shooting attack near Maaleh Adumim after killing one of the terrorists.
Hananyah, 23, left reserve service in Gaza a week and a half ago. He was in a vehicle along with his mother when the attack began.
He fired through the windshield, left his vehicle, and engaged and killed the terrorist at point-blank range. He was shot in his stomach and leg while doing so.
His father wrote: “My son was wounded with a bullet through his stomach and leg. He is conscious. We just spoke. He is a hero, who identified the terrorist, shot from the window of his car, engaged the terrorist, and killed him."
Minister of Settlements and National Missions Orit Strock commented: “Hero of Israel! I salute Hananyah, the son of my good friend Arik Ben-Shimon, the dedicated and talented spokesman of the Eretz Yisrael lobby for many years. He engaged and killed the terrorist. He was injured, and we all pray for his recovery.”
