TERROR IN ISRAEL: Hamas Celebrates Murder of Pregnant Jewish Mother En Route to Hospital to Give Birth

Tzeela Gez, 30, of the settlement Bruchin, was attacked and critically wounded on Wednesday night (14 May 2025) while traveling in her car en route to the hospital in Judea Samaria. “Palestinian” terrorism in Judea and Samaria is

Hamas spokesperson released a statement praising the murder of Tzeela Gez, a pregnant mother of three.

The baby is fighting for life.

For Palestinian jihadists, shooting a mother on her way to deliver her baby is “heroic”.

Why are they still a thing? Why are they in any way operational? Hamas must be obliterated. Every last one. They are a plague on humanity.

According to a February report by Rescuers Without Borders, 2024 saw over 6,300 acts of Palestinian terror against Jews in Judea and Samaria.

The attacks included:
– 3,668 instances of rock-throwing. (To some, rock-throwing may not sound like “terrorism,” but when the rock is the size of four adults’ fists combined, and is thrown from above at a car traveling at 50 miles an hour—the results can be deadly.)
– 843 Molotov cocktail attacks
– 671 attempts to use laser pointers to blind drivers
– 526 explosive devices
– 364 instances of arson
– 179 shootings

So severe is the terror in Judea and Samaria, that in August 2024 the IDF launched “Operation Summer Camps,” and then “Operation Iron Wall” in January—both of which have targeted Palestinian terror hubs in Judea and Samaria. The operations, in fact, are the IDF’s most intEveryense counter-terror efforts in the area since the wave of Palestinian terror attacks during the second intifada (2000-2005).

The depravity to target and celebrate killing a pregnant woman as a “heroic operation.”

Grieving husband and a shaken eyewitness recount harrowing scene shortly after terrorist opened fire on family car in the West Bank: ‘He was trying to stop her bleeding, fighting for her life’; husband says: ‘I’m obviously shattered but I thank God that I’m alive and promise to stay strong. They will never break us’

Tzeela Gez, a 33-year-old therapist from the settlement of Bruchin, was shot to death Wednesday night in a terrorist attack in the northern West Bank while en route to the hospital to give birth. She was buried in Jerusalem late Thursday afternoon.
Doctors at Rabin Medical Center performed an emergency C-section, delivering her baby in critical condition. The infant was transferred to Schneider Children’s Medical Center, where he remains in intensive care. The attack took place on Route 446, near the settlements of Peduel and Bruchin.

Tzeela’s husband, Hananel, sustained light injuries and managed to call for help. In a voice message to a family WhatsApp group, he said: “It’s a sad day. My wife was murdered last night. We were on our way to the hospital to joyfully welcome our fourth child. I’m obviously shattered but I thank God that I’m alive and promise to stay strong. They will never break us.”
Eyewitness Elia Carmi, a resident of Peduel who arrived moments after the attack, described a harrowing scene: “I saw a wrecked car on the road, lights and windows shattered. I slowed down and then I heard the husband yelling, ‘Help us, save us.’ He was completely terrified.”
Carmi said Tzeela was slumped in the driver’s seat and unresponsive. “He was trying to stop her bleeding, fighting for her life. He told me, ‘They shot at us, they shot at us.’”

Elia noted that when he asked Hananel if there were other children in the car, he responded, “No, only one child — inside her belly.” Carmi described the encounter as deeply traumatic: “When someone screams for help, you don’t think, you act. But once I saw her, I knew there was nothing I could do for her. So I focused on helping her husband.”
Security forces launched a large-scale manhunt for the shooter, initially believed to have fired from a passing vehicle. However, updated intelligence suggests the attacker was a lone gunman who fired from the roadside and fled on foot. Special forces, including paratrooper and commando units, have been deployed. Aerial surveillance is being used and nearby Palestinian villages have been sealed off.
