Deputy Security Minister Rabbi Eli Ben-Dahan (Jewish Home) praised the IDF and the Israel Security Agency for capturing the terrorist who murdered Dafna Meir.

In a statement made by Ben Dahan he demanded that the family of the terrorist also be held responsible for inappropriately educating their son to hate. “Any 16 year old who can commit such a violent murder is a child who was taught via incitement that murdering Jews is the proper thing to do. I therefore call for the expulsion of the terrorist’s family from Israel in order to prevent yet another attack.”

“I am glad to hear that the Minister of Housing and Construction Yoav Galant as well as others are finally realizing that expulsion is the most effective deterrent against terror attacks.”

During a very intensive search that was conducted throughout the day and into the late night hours on Monday, the IDF and Israel Security Agency successfully apprehended the terrorist who murdered Dafna Meir at the entrance to her home in Otniel, in the southern Har Hevron region of Judea.

According to Judea-Samaria Council Head Avi Naim, he has been identified as 16-year-old Mourad Bader Abdallah Adais.
