This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (September 2023)

Sirhan entered the Kibbutz of Metzer on November 10 and fatally shot 5 residents, including two children. Additionally, the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades claimed responsibility for the attack.

Victims

The attacker murdered filmmaker Revital Ohayoun, 34, and her two young children (Matan, 5, and Noam, 4), who were killed in their beds. Additionally, Tirza Damari, 42, and Yitzhak Drori, 44, the kibbutz secretary, were shot while responding to the gunfire.

Assailant

Sirhan Sirhan (Arabic: سرحان سرحان, died 2003) was identified as the assailant. He was reportedly a member of the Tanzim, an armed wing of Fatah.

Despite initial claims to the contrary, he was not related to Sirhan Sirhan, the Palestinian American Christian who assassinated United States Senator Robert F. Kennedy in 1968.

His house was demolished on December 19, 2002, by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

On October 3, 2003, Sirhan was killed by the Yamam, an IDF counter-terrorism unit, during an attempt to arrest him.
