On April 6th, 1988, a group of youth from Elon Moreh went on a hike in the hills near the settlement. On their way they were attacked by Young Arabs from the Bieta village who threw stones at them.
In spite the warning shots from the group’s security men the attack escalated and the group was forced into the village where a mob attacked then and tried to grab the weapons. At some point a shot was fired and hit Tirza Porat, 14 years old, killing her on spot.
