Bedouin officer killed in terror attack has a Hasidic Jewish cousin
An Israeli-Arab Border Police officer from the Bedouin community who was recently killed in a terrorist stabbing attack has an Orthodox Jewish cousin, Charedim10 reported Tuesday.
On Monday evening, 22-year-old Staff Sgt. Asil Sawaed succumbed to wounds sustained earlier in the day in a terrorist attack at a checkpoint to Shuafat in northeastern Jerusalem.
During the attack, a 13-year-old Arab terrorist stabbed Sawaed after he and a civilian guard had boarded a bus during a routine inspection. The guard then opened fire at the suspect, accidentally hitting Sawaed.
The morning after Sawaed's passing, Israeli entrepreneur Maor Farid eulogized Sawaed and shared his family connection to the slain officer.
"The late Sergeant Asil Sawaed, who was murdered yesterday in the attack, is a relative of mine. No, it's not an expression – for real."
Farid explained that his father-in-law, Rami Ben-David, is a Bedouin convert to Judaism.
