On Friday, 7 April 2023, at around 10:00 A.M., an armed Palestinian fatally shot three Israeli citizens, Lucy (Leah) Dee (48), and her two daughters, Maya Dee (20) and Rina Dee (16) , as they were driving by north of the village of Furush Beit Dajan.
About an hour later, dozens of settlers, some armed with handguns, descended on the village escorted by soldiers and vandalized greenhouses and crops in the area. In one plot, the settlers cut down 10 olive trees and in another they set fire to a greenhouse. The settlers remained in the area until late at night and attacked Palestinian cars passing near Khirbet Humsah a-Tahta. In the evening, Ahmad Abu Seif (60), was attacked when driving by in a tractor. The settlers smashed the tractor’s windows with stones and when Abu Seif got out of it and fled, they set fire to the driver's seat.
