Israeli President Isaac Herzog on Thursday morning strongly condemned the “spine-chilling” murder of Tzeela Gez, who was shot dead on Wednesday night while en route to a hospital delivery room in Samaria.
“The murder of Tzeela Gez, on her way to give birth at the hospital, is a spine-chilling, horrific act of terror that shakes us to the core. At the very moment life was about to begin—life was taken in the most brutal way,” said Herzog.
“My heart goes out to her grieving family and all her loved ones, who are in deep shock. We’re all praying now for the baby’s health and for the recovery of her injured husband, Hananel,” he added.
“Terror won’t break the Israeli spirit. We will relentlessly track down terror wherever it hides,” Herzog concluded.
The baby was delivered in hospital, Ynet reported, but the child’s condition wasn’t publicly known.
