Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon (Likud), IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkott, and Shabak/Shin Bet chief Yorem Cohen visited the Samaria Brigade today (Friday), following last night's murder. Ya'alon examined the site in which the attack took place and was given a tour by local commanders.
During the trip, Ya'alon said, "We have many units working in the field now - from both the IDF and the Shabak - in order to find the murderers. I hope that it will not be long before we get them, like we did in earlier instances. There is no doubt that this was a very serious event, and we are treating it with actions on the ground in order to prevent the next attack."
