A 7-year-old boy, Hillel Mordechai Dadon, was killed and his 4-year-old cousin was wounded in a stabbing attack in Beit Shemesh on Monday. The incident occurred during a birthday party while the children's parents were out, leaving them in the care of a 15-year-old relative. Police arrested a 25-year-old neighbor at the scene, who was reportedly seen cleaning a bloody knife. The 7-year-old was pronounced dead upon arrival at Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital, while the 4-year-old underwent surgery and is in moderate condition. Police are investigating the possibility of mental instability or an inter-family feud, and a seven-day gag order has been placed on investigation details. A Magen David Adom paramedic described arriving at "a shocking scene" with "an unconscious 7-year-old boy, without vital signs, and a conscious 4-year-old."
