Hundreds march in West Bank industrial zone month after terror attack
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHundreds of people are reportedly marching in the Barkan industrial zone in the West Bank to mark a month since the killings of workers Kim Levengrond-Yehezkel and Ziv Hajbi by a suspected Palestinian terrorist.
Despite what the army says are intensive search efforts, the killer, named as Ashraf Na’alowa, has yet to be located.
Some of the marchers wear their hands bound with zipties, in memory of Levengrod-Yehezkel, who was apparently shot execution-style by the terrorist after being tied up with the plastic devices during the October 7 attack at a factory in the industrial zone.

Marchers, which include family members of the two victims, are also calling for a new industrial zone to be built in memory of the victims.
On Tuesday, the army said it would demolish the bottom two floors of Na’alowa’s family’s home in the northern West Bank village of Shuweika, but leave enough standing for the upper floors of the home to be undisturbed.
The announcement that the whole structure would not be demolished drew anger from family members, according to Hadashot news.
