An indictment was filed with Ofer Military Court on Monday against Mohammed Abu Shahin, the accused murderer of Israeli terror victim Danny Gonen.

Abu Shahin, 30, a resident of Qalandiya and a member of Fatah's "Tanzim" terror arm, is charged with gunning down Gonen by the Ein Bubin spring near Dolev in Samaria.

Two more terrorists, accused of involvement in planning this and other similar attacks, were also indicted Monday. One of them is believed to have provided the ammunition used by Abu Shahin.

When Abu Shahin was brought into the courtroom, he went ballistic and refused to stop swinging his arms as he made the victory sign with his fingers.

Israel Prison Service officials accompanying Abu Shahid immediately removed him from the courtroom. Upon his return, he refused to stand when the judges entered the courtroom.

Danny Gonen's mother, Devorah, entered the court, emphasizing her desire to see her son's murderer be sentenced to death.

"The time has come for the death penalty," Gonen asserted. "Only the death penalty will bring back deterrence. My son went for a walk and they took his life. Whoever takes a life should have his taken in return."

Indictments were also filed Monday with the Ofer Military Court against members of the terrorist cell who shot Malachi Rosenfeld near Shvut Rachel ten days after Gonen was killed.

We Couldn't Bear to See Their Faces'
Eliezer Rosenfeld demands death penalty for murderers of his son, Malachi.

Eliezer Rosenfeld, the father of terror victim Malachi Rosenfeld, spoke with Arutz Sheva on Monday about why he and his family did not attend the military court hearing against the murderers of his son.

"We can't bear to see their faces. We didn't want to give them the satisfaction of smiling at us or making the 'V" sign. It would only cause emotional harm and we have no interest in seeing the killers. We know from experience, work is done better when we're not there."

According to Rosenfeld, both military officials and legal advisers recommended the family not be present during the proceedings.

But, when asked what sentence the family would like to see imposed on the terrorists, Rosenfeld was clear that the family hoped for the death penalty.

"We would like the death penalty, even though there is a debate about whether it's good or not good, and the prosecution thinks it's not good and won't deter them and will only make them martyrs."

Justifying his belief in the use of the death penalty, Rosenfeld explained that "someone who has a death sentence won't be able to kill any more. But someone who doesn't, the chances he will return to murder are very high."

"A second reason is so there won't be [terrorists] released in all sorts of questionable transactions, because they didn't receive the punishment they deserved, " Rosenfeld added.

"I also think it's a deterrent if the terrorist knows for sure he'll receive the death penalty. We won't need to feed them or worry about newspapers and family visits."

"An Arab mother when her son is sentenced to death is very worried and will think twice about how to raise and educate her children. There are those who say it's wrong, but I think to anyone with feeling and sensitivity, if they see they will be sentenced to death, they will think twice," Rosenfeld concluded.

Malachi Rosenfeld was shot to death in late June outside Shvut Rachel in Samaria; two Palestinian terrorists were indicted Monday at the Ofer Military Court for the attack.
