On May 2, 1980, on Friday evening, a group of worshipers left the Machpela Cave in Hevron on their way to Beit Hadassah when they were fired upon by terrorists from three sides. Five people were killed, including Zvi Menachem, and another six were wounded. Zvi was buried in the Military Cemetery on Har Herzl.
