Hillel Menachem and Yigal Yaakov Yaniv, aged 21 and 19, have been named as the victims of Sunday's deadly terrorist attack in the West Bank.
They were sat in their vehicle when a Palestinian terrorist ran toward them and fatally shot them from close range.
They were residents of the Har Bracha community in the West Bank, located not far from Nablus.
According to the victims' mother Esti Yaniv, "Yigal would have celebrated his 20th birthday in two weeks, Hillel was 21 and a half years old, both were on their way from Har Bracha to study Torah."
They studied at different yeshivas in the West Bank communities of Givat Olga and Kiryat Shmona. Hillel recently completed his Israel Defense Forces service in the Navy.
Yossi Dagan, head of the local Samaria Regional Council, said that the government must "change the paradigm and move from defense to attack as terrorists can't just shoot innocent civilians in broad daylight."
Israel is facing a massive uptick in terrorism, with Israel and the Palestinian Authority holding a summit in Jordan to agree on de-escalation.
Despite promising statements, angered Israeli settlers in nearby communities later that night descended on the Palestinian town where the terrorist attack happened. At least one Palestinian was killed in the clashes, with Israeli forces arresting six people over the choas.
