A 20-year-old young woman was found dead with multiple stab wounds in an abandoned parking lot in Migdal Haemek on Thursday, in what police say may have been a terrorist attack. Upon arriving at the scene with investigators, Norther District commander Maj. Gen. Zohar Dvir announced he would turn the case over to the Northern District central investigative unit. Police were pursuing the possibility that the crime was carried out on nationalistic motives, making it a potential terrorist attack, a senior police official in the Northern District said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Dadon's family was called to the Migdal Haemek parking lot to identify the body. Her father began wailing when he recognized his daughter. "Why God, why? She was my only daughter. She just came to look for work. A 20-year-old girl. My only daughter, I cannot live without her. Don't take her from me," he sobbed. An officer in the Northern District central investigative unit said the site where police discovered Dadon's body was very close in proximity to where taxi driver Yafim Weinstein of Nazereth Illit was slain in a 2009 terrorist attack. "It's a classic murder site," the officer, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said. "It's a thicket of bushes located in a distant and isolated area in the industrial zone, very close to the highway between Migdal Haemek, Nazareth and several surrounding villages. Whoever knows the area well would have no problem carrying out an act like this and then disappearing."
The body of Shelly Dadon, who was on her way to a job interview, was discovered by police during a routine patrol at 4:00 p.m. Finding evidence of violence and stab wounds on her body, the officers alerted Magen David Adom and a crew of paramedics rushed to the scene. Dadon was pronounced dead on site.
