Moshe Refael ben Aliza Chaya - Terrorists attacked a Jewish couple as they drove north of Kochav HaShachar in the Binyamin region on Monday night, January 19. The area of the attack is located 15 miles northeast of Jerusalem. The man was badly wounded in the head. The woman was hit by flying debris, but apparently not wounded. Rescue workers said the attackers fired on the victims' vehicle from a passing car. Other sources cited by Nana/10 say the shots could have been fired by a sniper. The woman took her husband's place in the driver's seat and drove to the entrance of Kochav HaShachar and summoned help to the area, and a large security force came and started searching for the attackers. The man was taken by a military helicopter to Hadassah Ein-Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem.

Or'el Ben Angela -- Or'el Iliezrov, a 7 year old second grader at the Shuvu Be'er Sheva school was seriously wounded this afternoon when a Grad missile fired by Gaza terrorists scored a direct hit on the family's car. Or'el was in the car with his mother when the siren went off in Be'er Sheva warning of a missile launch. They both managed to escape from the car and lie on the ground as Home Front Command instructs, however tragically Or'el was hit in the head by shrapnel. His mother is suffering from shock. Or'el is in Soroka Hospital and just came out of surgery. His condition continues to be very serious.
