Nvei Daniel – Sept. 1, 2024 - On Friday night, the head of security at Carmei Tzur was stationed at the front checkpoint, known as the Shin-Gimel, when a car approached, driving towards him. He managed to get off two shots, but the driver sped off into the Yishuv. The guard pursued the terrorist in his own vehicle as the terrorist drove past an area near the front gate where many kids were gathered.
The head of security then rammed into the terrorist’s car, causing the vehicle to stop. He then shot the terrorist, and one of his shots hit the explosive-laden car, which then exploded. It was only at that moment that the guard realized the car had been rigged. B’Chasdei Hashem, no one was seriously hurt, and it’s a major neis that no one in the Yishuv was killed.
At approximately the same time another explosives-laden vehicle plowed into a nearby gas station and exploded.
We were told after Shabbos that video shows that this same vehicle approached Nvei Daniel where we live. Upon seeing that the gate was closed for Shabbos, the terrorist turned around and fled the area
Today, a gathering took place at the Gush Etzion junction for prayer, singing, and words of comfort from rabbis and political leaders. This occurred right next to the gas station where the car exploded, likely on its way to a major terrorist attack that, B’Chasdei Hashem, was thankfully averted. Rabbi Rimon, Chief Rabbi of Gush Etzion, just recited the bracha of Gomeil (בלי שם השם). This area is not only our neighborhood but also our main retail shopping center.
