Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich paid condolence visits last night (Tuesday) to the homes of the families of the victims of the shooting attacks that took place this week in Hawara and the Kvasim Junction in the south of Har Hevron.
First, the minister arrived in Ashkelon, where he visited the Nigarkar family, who lost father Shay Silas and son Aviad Nir in the attack in Hawara. After that, he visited the survivor of the severe attack in South Har Hevron, Aryeh Gottlieb. From there, he continued with condolence visits to the Nagari family in Beit Hagai, who lost their mother Bat-Sheva in the attack that occurred last Monday.
"I paid condolence visits to the Nigarkar family in Ashkelon, who lost their father, Silas Shay, HY"D, and his son Aviad Nir, HY"D, and to the Nagari family in Beit Hagai, who lost their mother, Bat-Sheva HY"D. In between, I visited the victim of the heinous attack, Aryeh Leib Gottlieb.

We will not relent; we have no other land." said Smotrich.
