Israeli leaders responded to the terrorist shooting attack in which one person was killed and two other wounded near Homesh in Samaria Thursday night.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said that "together with all the people of Israel, I send heartfelt condolences to the family of the person killed in the deadly attack that took place this evening in Samaria, and wish a speedy recovery to the wounded."
"Security forces will soon get their hands on the terrorists and we’ll ensure that justice is served,” Bennett said.
Defense Minister Benny Gantz said, "I share the grief of the family of those killed tonight in the attack in Samaria and wish for the recovery of the other wounded."
"The security forces will lay their hands on the terrorists," Gantz declared, adding, "We continue to increase our vigilance against terrorism in Judea and Samaria, and continue to act by all means and in all arenas against terrorist organizations."
Public Security Minister Omer Barlev wrote on Twitter: "A serious attack was committed near Homesh this evening. Palestinian terrorism is once again raising its ugly head. My condolences to the family and loved ones of the yeshiva student who was murdered and a speedy recovery to the wounded."
Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked said that "Palestinian terrorism once again illustrates to us that the war on Israel has not ended and that the settlers of Judea and Samaria constitute the defensive wall of the State of Israel."
"We will continue to take root in this country and build it to glory. The security forces will lay their hands on the heinous murderers who have not yet come to terms with a Jewish presence in the Land of Israel," Shaked said.
Religious Affairs Minister Matan Kahana responded, "We have now received another very painful reminder that there is no symmetry in Judea and Samaria. The murderous violence is directed at the Jewish settlers. "
"IDF soldiers and security forces are now in the midst of a pursuit of the heinous murderers who carried out the horrific attack in Samaria. At this time we are all with the security forces. "My heart goes out to the family of the murdered man. The murderers will never break us. We will continue to build and develop Samaria," Kahana wrote on Twitter.
