PROMINENT U.S.-BORN ACTIVIST STABBED TO DEATH BY PALESTINIAN
JERUSALEM A Palestinian assailant on Sunday fatally stabbed a well-known Israeli settler outside a busy mall in the West Bank.
Ari Fuld, a U.S.-born activist, was well-known in the local settler community and an outspoken Israel advocate on social media platforms.
The military said the attacker arrived at the mall close to the Gush Etzion settlement bloc, and stabbed Fuld before fleeing.
Video footage showed Fuld giving chase and firing at his assailant before collapsing. Other civilians shot the attacker, whom Israeli media identified as a 17-year-old from a nearby Palestinian village. He was reportedly in moderate condition.
Fuld, a 45-year-old father of four, was a well-known English-language internet commenter on current affairs and the weekly Torah lesson. He was known for his hard-line nationalist ideology and strong support for the Israeli military.
