The Bat Ayin axe attack was an attack by a Palestinian man that took place on 2 April 2009 in the West Bank, when Moussa Tayet attacked a group of Israeli children with an axe and a knife, killing 13-year-old boy Shlomo Nativ and seriously wounding 7-year-old boy Yair Gamliel, in the Israeli settlement of Bat Ayin. Palestinian Islamic Jihad immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, as did two obscure Palestinian groups. On 14 April, Israeli security forces arrested Tayet, of Khirbet Safa; he later confessed to the killing. Israeli authorities stated that Tayet had no links to any organized militant groups. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the attack, while Hamas justified it.

The Bat Ayin axe attack was a 2009 attack in the West Bank in which Moussa Tayet killed 13-year-old Shlomo Nativ and wounded a 7-year-old boy with an axe and knife. Through 2020 the opening reported that Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, the Gaza Strip's governing authority, described the killing as "natural." Today the opening carries neither the Islamist label nor Hamas's reaction; the word is nowhere in the article. A reader today does not learn that Hamas called the killing of a 13-year-old boy natural.
