Yehudah Sherman, an 18 year old Israeli, was killed on Saturday after an Arab driver rammed into an ATV he was riding in near Homesh in northern Samaria. His brother Daniel was injured in the attack and remains in moderate condition.

Sherman, who lived in the Shuva Yisrael Farms outpost, was part of a small group conducting a land survey in the area when the incident unfolded. According to eyewitnesses, a vehicle approached from the direction of Beit Umrin, slowed as it neared the group, and then suddenly accelerated toward them.

The impact sent two of the individuals flying from the ATV. Emergency responders rushed to the scene, but Yehudah Sherman was pronounced dead shortly after. His brother was transported for medical treatment.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich condemned the attack, calling it a murder, and expressed deep condolences to the family, describing them as longtime friends and partners. He said Sherman was killed while guarding the land of Samaria and praised his commitment and sacrifice.

Yehudah is survived by his parents Yehoshua and Sima and six siblings.
