Over the weekend, Israel experienced a heavy blow. An entire family was brutally murdered in their sleep by a Palestinian in the settlement of Itamar near Nablus. Both parents Udi and Ruth were stabbed in their bed, the killer then slashed the throat of 11-year-old Yoav, knifed 3-year-old Elad in the heart, and slit the throat of their three-month-old baby, Hadas.
At present the Al Aqsa martyrs brigade, the military wing of Fatah has taken credit for the attack. Nothing though is conclusive yet because Al Aqsa frequently takes credit for acts they did not actually commit to strengthen their own popularity. Prime Minister Netanyahu has started a huge military operation to hunt down the man responsible. The IDF has already arrested twenty people. We can only hope that the perpetrator for this heinous crime be caught.
