The murderers of the four fled to the nearby PLO-controlled village of Yata, and an IDF manhunt for the terrorists is still underway. The village is under curfew. The Al-Aqsa Brigade of Yasser Arafat’s Fatah terrorist organization has claimed responsibility for the shootings.
The Yesha Council - the Council of Communities in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza - released the only official reaction to the murders, calling on the government to use the attack as a turning point in its war against terrorism. The Councils demand the expulsion of the residents of Yata - a village that has been a hotbed of anti-Jewish terrorism for years - and the destruction of the illegal bloc of homes nearby where the terrorists hid.
Southern Mt. Hevron officials demanded that the army enter the villages and clear them out of the thousands of weapons held there.
