Lazar, an 18-year-old from Bat Hefer, just a few miles from where she was buried, was killed at the Shuafat border crossing after a terrorist opened fire Saturday night, wounding two other Israelis as well.
One of them, a male, remains in serious condition in Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, medical officials said.
"She was beautiful inside and out," one of Lazar's friends said. "Full of confidence. Always knew what she wanted. She was funny, made everyone around her laugh and feel comfortable. You could always count on her. Very opinionated. Her friends always consulted with her."
A manhunt continues for the suspected terrorist, Uday Tamimi, a 22-year-old from Shuafat refugee camp in east Jerusalem.
The camp has been under lockdown since the attack, with clashes reported between Israeli security forces and Palestinians as the search continues for Tamimi.
So far, 11 Palestinians have been arrested in connection with the attack, according to media reports, seven of whom are reportedly Tamimi's family members.
The IDF remains on high alert, with military posts reinforced during the Jewish holiday of Sukkot that began Sunday night. It said that Palestinian gunmen targeted the Shavei Shomron settlement in Judea and Samaria earlier. There were no reports of injuries in the attack.
