Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

Our security forces are currently pursuing the despicable terrorist who carried out the murderous attack in Binyamin. No terrorist is immune, not even those who helped them, with all of them we will come to an account - in Gaza, in Lebanon and in Judea and Samaria.

Our heroic fighters simultaneously eliminated a terrorist who tried to carry out an attack in Samaria.

I instructed the IDF and the Shin Bet to operate in Israel with increased forces, to impose blockades and carry out offensive activities and arrests in order to maintain the security of the citizens of Israel. I ordered action to demolish 's house immediately.

On behalf of all the citizens of Israel, my wife and I send our heartfelt condolences to the family of the person murdered in the attack and share in their deep sorrow.
