Master Sgt. Elad Yaakov Winkelstein, 35, of Kibbutz Ein HaNatziv, was one of three people killed in a terrorist attack today (Monday, 6th January 2025) on Highway 55, near the Palestinian village of Al Funduq east of Qalqilya.
Winkelstein, an investigator at the Ariel police station, was taking his son to school when the terrorists opened fire at close range. He managed to return fire before he was shot and killed.
An armed civilian opened fire on the terrorists, causing them to flee the scene. Security forces have initiated a manhunt to track them down.
He was laid to rest today at the Mount Herzl cemetery in Jerusalem. He is survived by his wife and two children.
