In late June 2016 Tarayreh began posting on Facebook in support of terrorists and claimed Palestinian terrorists were "martyrs".

On June 30, 2016 he broke into a home in Kiryat Arba, Israel.

Inside he then stabbed 13 year old Hallel Yaffa Ariel 18 times.

As he attempted to escape he was murdered by police.

His home has been destroyed and his family's Israeli visas have been suspended as a result.

Mohammed Tarayreh's mother praised her son after the attack, "My son is a hero.

He made me proud.

My son died as a Martyr defending Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, he [my son] has joined the Martyrs before him, and he is not better than them.

Allah willing, all of them will follow this path, all the youth of Palestine.

Allah be praised."
