The murder of Shalhevet Pass was the gunning down of a ten-month-old
Israeli infant by a Palestinian terrorist on March 26, 2001. On that
day, Shalhevet Pass (Hebrew: שלהבת פס) was shot in the head and killed
by a Palestinian sniper while seated in her stroller on the streets of
Hebron, where she and her family lived. The bullet, which killed
Shalhevet, then hit the leg of her father, Yitzchak Pass, who was
pushing the stroller. Israeli investigators believed the snipers were
intentionally targeting the baby. The murder of Shalhevet Pass, which
came relatively early in the Al-Aqsa Intifada, produced vocal outrage in
Israel and abroad.
