Rabbi Eitan Shnerb, father of 17-year-old Rina, hy"d, related what happened this past Friday when his daughter was killed in a terrorist bombing. He spoke with Niv Raskin of Channel 12.

"Everything started when I took my children Rina [17 years old] and Dvir [19 years old] on a hike in the Land of Israel [in south-western Samaria, about 15 miles from Ben Gurion International Airport as the crow flies]. I wanted to spend some quality time with them. We arrived at the Danny Spring [named for Danny Gonen, murdered in a terrorist attack there four years ago], parked the car, and started going down on the path. Towards the end, there was a big explosion. I could tell right away that it was a pretty big explosive device."
