Bat Ayin axe attack
The Bat Ayin axe attack was an attack by a Palestinian man that took place on 2 April 2009 in the West Bank, when Moussa Tayet attacked a group of Israeli children with an axe and a knife, killing 13-year-old boy Shlomo Nativ and seriously wounding 7-year-old boy Yair Gamliel, in the Israeli settlement of Bat Ayin. Palestinian Islamic Jihad immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, as did two obscure Palestinian groups.
