Minister of Transportation Bezalel Smotrich responded to the death of the IDF fighter during an operation in Samaria.
"Enormous grief over IDF fighter Amit Ben Yigal who was killed tonight by accursed terrorists in the village of Yabad. Amit, an only child, gave his life in Sayeret Golani. I hope that the IDF prepares a retaliatory action after which the enemy will regret the hit to our fighter. May G-d avenge his blood," Smotrich wrote on Twitter.
