Culture and Sport Minister Miri Regev (Likud) has commented on today's (Sunday) terror attack in Otniel that killed 38-year-old Dafna Meir.

"The chilling and brutal murder in Otniel today is part of the war carried out on behalf of brutal terror, which is driven by extreme religious ideology. The State of Israel and the free world must fight this ideological terror on all fronts, just as we did when we banned the northern branch of the Islamic Movement. Otniel, like all of Israel, will continue to be built and developed. The Eternal One of Israel does not lie," said Regev.
