Matat Rosenfeld-Adler, 21 years-old, married her husband, Yisrael, only two months ago. Tomorrow (Monday), Yisrael will bury his newlywed bride, after she was murdered in a drive-by terror attack in the Gush Etzion Junction, together with her cousin, Kineret Mendel, 23.
Three months ago, Matat completed her army service as an officer in the Intelligence Corps. A month after her release, she married Yisrael Alder, an officer in the Armored Corps. “She was planning on studying law, and being a judge, and bringing justice to the nation,” a resident of Carmel said. The settlement’s spokesman, Ron Tzorel, said: “Matat was deeply affected by the expulsion from Gush Katif. She was recently a youth councilor in Judaism in the college of Maaleh Haver. She was an active girl.”
Matat left behind her parents – Naftali and Rivka Rosenfeld – residents of Beit Horon, a brother, and three sisters.

Oz Yisrael Ben-Meir, 14 years-old, lived in Maon from the age of two. He had just begun ninth grade at a Bnei Akiva Yeshiva in Dimona. He left behind his parents, Rami and Nirit, two sisters, and three brothers.
Maon spokeswoman Malchi Zonenfeld said Oz was “a straight and real character. His friends saw him as a loyal friend, and he got along with everyone. He was a son of Torah, with high motivation for studying, an outstanding athlete, and a navigational expert. He was humble, pleasant, and lively.”

Kineret’s mother, Rivka Mendler, and Matat’s father, Naftali Rosenfeld, are brother and sister. Carmel’s spokesman told Ynet that “Kineret was the first child of the settlement of Carmel. The community was established 24 years ago, and she was the first to be born here. She was a girl that no words could describe. She was beautiful inside and outside. She had only the best of the best in her.”
Kineret studied at a women’s academy in Kiryat Arba, before studying economics in Jerusalem. She recently began teaching work at a Gush Etzion school.
“She was a caring person. She loved the country,” said Tzorel. Kineret spent two years in national service in Beit Moriah, Beer Sheeva, where she led tours.
Kineret left behind her parents – Itamar and Rivka – founders of Carmel. She also left behind three brothers.
