Aug 9, 2001 - Aliza Malka, 17, a boarding student at Kibbutz Merav, was killed by terrorists in a drive-by shooting at the entrance to the kibbutz in the Gilboa region, west of Beit She'an.

She and three girlfriends were returning from Beit She'an when the terrorists opened fire. Her three friends were injured, one seriously.
