Tal Binyamin Settelment

On Sunday morning, December 31st 2000, the Kahane family drove to their home in Tapuach from Jerusalem, where they had spent the Shabbat. Binyamin Zeev Kahane, aged 34, drove the car, with his 32-year-old wife Talia at his side. While driving on the road from Ofra to Shilo north of Ramallah, just 500 meters from Ofra, terrorists opened automatic fire on the car. Binyamin was killed.

Talia was wounded and died later at the hospital. The vehicle went off the road and the couple's five daughters were injured. Their son had been dropped off at his school in Beit El minutes earlier.

Binyamin's father Meir, the leader of the Kach movement was killed in New York 8 years earlier, and is commemorated in Hevron.
