A message from PM Yair Lapid following the horrific attack:
“A short time ago, I held a security situation assessment following the attack in Kiryat Arba and instructed the reinforcement of the security forces in the area and continued alertness in all the arenas. I share in the grief of the family of the person murdered in tonight’s attack. There are no words that can comfort you at this difficult time. I wish a speedy recovery to the injured. We will act with all the tools at our disposal and we will not allow terrorism to raise its head.”
הַמָּקוֹם יְנַחֵם אֶתְכֶם בְּתוֹךְ שְׁאָר אֲבֵלֵי צִיּוֹן וִירוּשָׁלַיִם, May we hear Besuros Tovos.
Otzma Yehudit MK Itamar Ben Gvir claims shots were directed toward his Kiryat Arba home. Medics say one seriously hurt.

An Israeli security officer in Hebron sees the M-16 carrying terrorist and mows him down with his car. An IDF soldier on leave makes sure the terrorist won't get up again. https://t.co/INqw8OlJP4
