- 02Shen-Nar was severely injured and his 17-year-old sister Rena was killed in a 2017 bombing at a spring in the Benjamin region.
- 03Neot Harim, located between Naveh Tzuf and Nachliel, is the first new community established in the area in decades.
- 04During the mourning period in 2017, Shen-Nar's father, Rabbi Eitan, requested the community's establishment from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
- 05Fourteen families have settled in Neot Harim, which local officials highlight as strategically important for regional security.
- 06The move coincided with the 30th day since the murder of Natanel Shkaron in a terror attack near the Ein Ri'a spring.
The community of Neot Harim was established seven years after the attack, which occurred near the Ein Dani spring, also known as Ein Bubin. During the week of mourning for Rena, her father, Rabbi Eitan, had requested that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu establish a new community in the area. Fourteen families have now arrived as the founding residents of Neot Harim, which local officials view as strategically important for regional security.
The arrival of the families coincided with the 30th day since the murder of Natanel Shkaron in a terror attack near the Ein Ri'a spring. Shen-Nar, who underwent a long rehabilitation, served in the military, and works as a program manager for Bnei Akiva, described the move as "the answer to terror," emphasizing a response of expansion and building rather than retreat.
