Parents of Terror Victim Hallel Ariel Visit Family of Terror Victim Michael Mark

Jerusalem, 7 July, 2016 (TPS) -- The parents of Hallel Yaffa Ariel, the 13-year-old girl who was murdered in her bed in Kiryat Arba, finished the traditional seven days of mourning (known as “Shiv’a”) today. One of their first actions after the mourning period was over was to head over to the Mark family in the nearby community of Otniel, who are still mourning the father of the family.

Rabbi Michael Mark was killed in a drive-by shooting attack on a nearby highway one day after the attack in Kiryat Arba. His wife Chava was seriously wounded in the attack, but has made a significant recovery and is currently conscious and in moderate condition, communicating with her family members and the medical staff.
