In response to the arrest of the terrorists who were involved in the murderous attack in the northern Dead Sea, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made the following statement:
"A short time ago, we captured a squad of three terrorists who are responsible for the murder of the late Ilan Ganeles. I salute the IDF and the Shin Bet for locating the terrorists in a short time and carrying out a precise operation. Anyone who tries to hurt us - his blood is on his own hands."
