Eden Natan Zada


Eden NatanZada was an Israeli soldier who opened fire in a bus in ShefaAmr in northern Israel onAugust 2005, killing four IsraeliArabs and wounding twelve others. He was restrained, disarmed and cuffed when he tried to reload to prepare for another round of shooting. After he was restrained and handcuffed, he was beaten to death by the crowd, as recorded on video. It has been inferred that the shooting was a personal protest against the Israeli governments disengagement plan, since an orange ribbon was found attached to NatanZadas pocket. .

NatanZada was born to an IsraeliJewish family that had immigrated to Israel from Iran and Yemen. NatanZadas parents describe him as having been a bright and studious Israeli schoolboy prior to his becoming involved with the Jewish extremist Kahanism movement, to which he was introduced via the Internet. He then began spending weekends in Kfar Tapuach, an Orthodox West Bank settlement. During his national service in the Israel Defense Forces , NatanZada deserted the army and hid in Kfar Tapuach to avoid further service. According to Matthew Gutman of the Jerusalem Post, Kfar Tapuach became the unofficial headquarters of the Jewish terrorist group Kahane Chai in 1990, but supporters deny the existence of a Kahane headquarters.
