Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked has responded to the deadly shooting attack in the Barkan industrial zone by saying, "Today, two Israelis, Kim Levengrond-Yehezkel and Ziv Hajbi were murdered in cold blood. Young parents. My heart goes out to their families."

Wishing a speedy recovery for the woman who was wounded in the attack, Shaked continued, "The incitement of Abu Mazen and the Palestinian Authority permeates everywhere and encourages murder and terror. There is no point in talks with those who encourage terror. I'm sure the security forces will put their hands on the murderer soon."
