Mother of terror victim on attacker: ‘I want this person to die’

The mother of terror victim Ziv Hajbi remembers her son as someone who “loved life, loved work,” and calls for the death of his suspected murderer.

“He left early in the morning for work and this is what he got in the end, this is what we got in the end,” Channel 10 news quotes Iris Hajbi as saying at the funeral in the southern moshav of Nir Yisrael.

Hajbi was one of two Israelis killed in the shooting attack yesterday by a Palestinian coworker at the Barkan Industrial Park.

“I want this person to die,” Iris Hajbi says of the attacker. “Anyone who touches Jews should be killed.”

“On this coming Shabbat he has a birthday. He is 35, just 35,” she says of her son. “Why do I need to bury my son at age 35.”
