Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Thursday that Israel will continue to track down and bring to justice terrorists who murder Jews.
 
“The fight is far from over and is now taking place in Jerusalem, Gaza and Bethlehem,” said Barak. The Defense Minister said that Wednesday’s capture of PA murderers “proved once more than it will hunt down murderers with Jewish blood on their hands and the people who sent them.”

Four such murderers were sentenced to life in prison Wednesday after their conviction on multiple murders of Israeli civilians. Four other terrorists were killed in a counterterrorism operation.

Barak spoke at a service on Mount Herzl for Israeli soldiers whose burial place is unknown. The exact burial place of the prophet Moses is unknown. The ceremony taking place on Thursday because the 7th of Adar, the anniversary of his death, falls on Friday this year.
