A day after the stabbing incident in Beit Shemesh, in which 7-year-old Hillel Mordechai Dadon was murdered and his 4-year-old cousin was seriously wounded, the family's neighbor, Vazana, reconstructs the moments of terror. She says she heard four ambulances and United Hatzalah vehicles passing by in a frenzy, and saw the children being carried out on stretchers. According to her, the aunt was in shock and crying, and the mother was hysterical. The neighbor describes that the father stepped into the bathroom for a moment, and claims there was no motive of a quarrel but rather likely a psychotic episode. She calls on authorities to draw lessons and prevent unstable individuals from living without supervision. The incident occurred on Emek HaZetim Street, and the children were found inside an inflatable pool. The mother was not at home, and a 15-year-old relative was watching them. Police arrested the suspect and opened an investigation.
