Bennett hails West Bank terror victim as ‘hero of Israel’ for firing at attacker

Education Minister Naftali Bennett praises terror victim Ari Fuld as a “hero of Israel” for chasing after and shooting at the Palestinian teenager who fatally stabbed him in the West Bank.

“In his death he saved life,” Bennett, who heads the national religious Jewish Home party, writes on his Twitter account.

“With a stab wound in the back he ran, drew his gun and fired before collapsing, just to make sure the terrorist would not continue to hurt others,” adds Bennett.

Other politicians from across the political spectrum also hail Fuld as a hero.
