The murder of Shalhevet Pass was a sniper shooting attack carried out by a Palestinian sniper in Hebron, West Bank, on 26 March 2001, during which a 10-month-old Israeli infant, Shalhevet Pass, had been killed. The event shocked the Israeli public, partly because it had been ruled that the sniper had deliberately aimed for the baby. According to Deborah Sontag of the New York Times, the murder became a "potent Israeli symbol as an innocent victim of the raging violence."
