The 26-year-old woman stabbed to death near a West Bank settlement on Monday has been described by her neighbour as the "epitome of kindness".

Dalia Lamkus, a children's occupational therapist, was attacked at a bus stop near Alon Shvut, in Gush Etzion. Two others were injured in the attack.

"She was modest, with a wide and pure heart, and no matter when - evenings, or holidays - always took on the task of helping people in the best possible way," said Itiel Gispan, the manager of the Tekoa branch of Yad Sarah, a charity for the disabled and elderly where Ms Lamkus volunteered when she wasn't working.

"She greeted anyone who came to us with a great smile, a lot of love, to let them know that she was there for them," he added.
