A mother and her two children ages 1.5 and 8 months were stabbed to death by the father, who is suspected of murdering the neighbors' five-year-old and moderately wounding his 11-year-old brother.

The murder occurred in Migdal, which is a small village on the Kinneret's (Sea of Galilee) northwest bank.

A spokesman for Israel Police said, "Around 2:30pm we received a report about a youth who was wounded in a stabbing. Police forces arrived at the scene along with a Magen David Adom team.

"The teams found the bodies of a 23-year-old woman and her two children of approximately a year and two years old, as well as that of an additional child aged approximately eight. The bodies showed signs of violence. An additional boy of about ten was severely injured and has been taken to Rambam Hospital.

"Israel Police searched the area for the suspect and soon found him in a nearby grove. The incident is still being investigated," the statement concluded.
