The funeral procession left the family home, where obituaries will also be read by family members, friends, rabbis and the head of the Samaria Regional Council, Yossi Dagan. Health Minister Yuli Edelstein said this morning: "A cowardly and vicious terrorist, with a burning hatred, ambushed an amazing and innocent woman, the late Esther Horgan. He murdered her with monstrous cruelty, not because she did anything wrong to him, but simply because she was Jewish." Minister Edelstein added: "I am sure that the security forces will soon lay their long hand on him and will bring him to the full severity of justice. My heart bleeds with the wonderful family, may her memory be blessed.".
