Palestinian terrorists hiding behind olive trees murdered two Israelis late this morning in an ambush attack in the village of Jama\'in, between Ariel and Tapuach in the Shomron. The two victims were brothers living in Tapuach: Shlomo Odessor, 60, a divorced father of three, and Moti Odessor, 52, survived by his wife and six children. They had apparently driven into the village by pre-arranged appointment to sell fuel. Jama\'in is in Area B - under Israeli security control and Palestinian Authority administrative control - but Israeli civilians are banned from entering these areas by special army orders. IDF forces in and around the village continue the search for the murderers.
Shomron Regional Council head Bentzy Lieberman told Arutz-7 today,
\"People should not enter [Area B], in accordance with the special military orders. On the other hand, it must be clear: It cannot be that within the Land of Israel and the State of Israel, a Jew who enters a given area automatically means a death sentence. Nowhere else in the world, not even in Libya or Iran, is this the case.
\"The army is now heavily inside the PA cities, and therefore it is spread a bit thin in the rest of the areas… We gave them [the PA] the guns, and we gave them the space, and so we must immediately go into these villages and collect the tens of thousands of guns that they have. We must destroy the houses of terrorists and their families and deport them, as this is the only way to fight terrorism. We have entered their cities, but now we must complete the process by going into all of the areas.\"
