Minister Yisrael Katz wrote on Twitter, Thursday morning, "Congratulations to the security forces who eliminated the vile murderers of Kim Levengrond-Yehezkeli and Ziv Hajbi and the late baby Amiad-Israel."

Katz continued, "Gone are the days when Jewish blood was abandoned. We will bring all the terrorists and the people who send them to justice." Referring to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, he concluded, "And Abu Mazen, who funds the families of the terrorists, must also pay the price."
