Minister Gilad Erdan has called Thursday morning, "a morning of pride and sadness."
Writing on Twitter, Erdan said, "I salute and am proud of the Israel Police Yamam special forces, who settled the score and eliminated the despicable terrorist who murdered Kim [Levengrond-Yehezkel] and Ziv [Hajbi at the Barkan Industrial Area], and also liquidated one of the cursed terrorists from Ofra. The eternal people is not afraid of a long road."
