Commander Yehonatan Steinberg of the Binyamin Regional Brigade Commander-in-Chief said, Thursday morning that his soldiers "sent a sharp and clear message" Wednesday evening in their demolition of the homes of two of the terrorists involved in last August's bombing death of Rena Shnerb: "Every terrorist who intends to carry out an attack - his house will be demolished and monitored regularly so that it will not be rebuilt."

The brigadier-general added, "We will continue to do all that is needed in order to ensure the security of civilians in the sector, and we will not allow terrorism to meet the residents of the State of Israel."
