The Israeli-Druze security chief of the settlement of Adam in the West Bank recounted his pain over the murder of Yotam Ovadia, who was\u00a0killed last Thursday<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0by a Palestinian terrorist who had jumped the community\u2019s fence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Asked by\u00a0Makor Rishon<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/em>\u00a0for his thoughts about the incident, Ali Hussein, who has served as Adam\u2019s head of security since 2005, touched his stomach and said, \u201cIt hurts me here.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPeople here know me,\u201d he continued. \u201cI live with them. They know I run toward everything, every event. And suddenly it happened. It isn\u2019t easy to lose a resident. Someone who you know his family, children, his father. My entire team feels this way, not good.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Hussein\u2019s family lives in the north of Israel and he says, \u201cI have two families \u2014 the people of Adam and my family in the north.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He originally came to Adam\u00a0while working with a private security firm in 2002. \u201cI looked at the community and I connected to it quickly,\u201d he stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were afraid something like this would happen,\u201d he said of the terror attack. \u201cWe train for this scenario. We aren\u2019t afraid, but we are vigilant.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Hussein described the incident, saying, \u201cThe guard at the gate called me, and I heard him yell that three Bedouins who lived outside the gate said they saw someone jump the fence and enter the settlement. I rushed there and talked to the Bedouins. \u2026 They pointed out the direction the terrorist went. I informed headquarters that there was a suspicion of an infiltration.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I got in the car,\u201d he recounted, \u201ca resident caught me on the telephone and said, \u2018There\u2019s a terrorist here.\u2019 I arrived at the street and saw that the terrorist had already been neutralized by the residents. I asked how many wounded there were, I saw Yotam and ran to him. I gave him first aid and called Magen David Adom to come quickly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Asked what he thought about the terrorist, a 17-year-old Palestinian boy, Hussein said, \u201cIn my eyes, this is someone who bit the hand that fed him, because they give a living to hundreds of Palestinian workers in this community. The relations with them are very good, and in the end there\u2019s a Palestinian attack. I don\u2019t understand their minds.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe relations here are so good,\u201d he stated, \u201cthat there were arguments between me and Arab workers, and the residents took the side of the workers. A few years ago, there was a major accident outside the community and some Palestinian children were killed. The chairman of the community printed out a mourning sign and hung it out for everyone to see. I don\u2019t get it, why do they do this? The Jews and the Druze, we\u2019re in the same boat against them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Asked whether he would like to live in Adam, Hussein replied, \u201cYes. Of course. My children were with me two weeks ago for a few days. But my wife works in Carmiel and my mother lives in the north, so it won\u2019t happen. There are several Druze residents here. Two of my nephews live here.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
