Security forces continue their wide-scale hunt for the terrorist who murdered Kim Levengrond Yehezkel of Rosh Ha'ayin, and Ziv Hajbi of Rishon Letzion on Sunday in the Barkan industrial zone. In the defense establishment, there is a high probability that when he is found, there will be a shootout.
Security has been stepped up in a number of Jewish communities in areas in Samaria where the terrorist is likely to turn. Extensive activity has been reported in the Palestinian Authority village of Shweika where he lived, including preparations to demolish the home of his parents. A number of arrests were made.
