The attackers were wearing IDF uniforms and black flak jackets to confuse responders. They were armed with an M-17 and a Kalashnikov assault rifle. The element of surprise allowed the attackers to stay in the settlement for about 15 minutes. Shortly after 9:00am one of the attackers entered the Shefi family house and began to search for family members room to room. He first found the 5-year-old girl Danielle Shefi in her bed, who he proceeded to shoot dead. He then found her brothers Eliad (4) and Uriel (2), who he shot and injured, then he found their mother, Shir Shefi, who he also shot and injured. The attacker then moved to the Harari family house, where he failed to gain entry, so shot out the windows. The second attacker attempted to gain entry to the Eliezer family home by knocking at the door, but after this failed he entered the Greenberg home, where he shot Vladimir and Katya Greenberg in their beds, killing the wife and injuring the husband. When the local security team arrived, at first they mistook the attackers for IDF soldiers and called out to them. Responder Arik Becker was killed in the initial round of gunfire. Israeli police joined the security team, causing the attackers to flee. Ya’akov Katz was killed in a burst of gunfire while the attackers were running through the streets. The attackers fled through a hole in the security fence in the direction of the village of Tuffah. One of the attackers was later killed by IDF troops. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) claimed responsibility for the attack.Yehuda Lancry 1 May 2002 Letter dated 1 May 2002 from the Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General https://unispal.un.org/DPA/DPR/unispal.nsf/0/D288A43C35A57F3A85256BAE006C23F9 Fatalities Danielle Shefi, 5 Arik Becker, 22 Katrina (Katya) Greenberg, 45 Ya'acov Katz, 51 See also List of massacres in Palestinian Territories References External links Getty stock photo of funeral of Danielle Shefi Category:April 2002 crimes in Asia Category:April 2002 in Asia Category:2002 mass murders Category:Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine attacks Category:Child murder in Palestine Category:Terrorist incidents in the West Bank in 2002 Category:Israeli casualties in the Second Intifada Category:21st-century mass murders in Palestine Category:2002 mass shootings in Asia Category:Mass shootings in Palestine Category:Family murders Category:Ambushes of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict Category:Family murders in Palestine
