Remember, on September 16, 2018, Ari Fuld came shopping at the Gush Etzion Junction shopping center when a Palestinian terrorist, about 16, attacked him from behind and stabbed him in the back. Fold pulled out his gun, and managed to shoot the terrorist and prevent him from injuring other civilians. Then Fold collapsed and was rushed to the hospital where doctors had to determine his death. For his action at the event, Fuld received the Civil Heroic decoration after his death. The police decoration committee awarded the "Civil Masterpiece" to Ari Fold's family.
The Fold family said in response to the court decision: "They are pleased with the verdict that set the most severe threshold for the lowly terrorist and hope he will receive the maximum punishment for his actions. In a corrected world, the wronged terrorist would receive a death sentence to deter anyone To come out and hurt the Jew. There is one solution for future deterrence - death sentence for the abominable terrorists. "

Following the announcement, the family appealed to state leaders to continue to fight resolutely against terrorism. "We are addressing the prime minister and the defense minister, we will carry our pain all our lives, you are your role to be strong. Protect the citizens of Israel on all fronts, take root in the homeland, deepen our grip on this good land, strengthen sovereignty in all areas of the homeland without collapsing to terror and without Our demand is that you continue to lift the State of Israel's resolve without giving a damn to terrorism. This is how Ari would demand of you and us and we ask you for it. "
Jewish Home Speaker Rabbi Rafi Peretz welcomed the court's decision: "A terrorist who murders a dying Jew is dead. Partial. The conviction of Ari Fuld's murderer is a right step in the direction, but if it means he will do his bachelor's degree and indulgences. In prison then we have to do a serious internal account with ourselves how we got to this situation. Terrorists are deathly and if not, then they'll be jailed in jail. "
