Government territory activity coordinator General Yoav Mordechai wrote a Facebook post in Arabic denouncing the Fatah organization for incitement as a response to a highly immoral and offensive video the Fatah put out reenacting the murder of Rabbi Raziel Shevach on Tuesday night near Havat Gilad. He wrote: “Fatah is acting in a lowly and irresponsible manner which will cause further bloodshed and destabilize security. What begins as incitement to terror can end up with destructive consequences.”
The search for Rabbi Raziel Shevach’s murderer continues: Shechem is sealed off as are many adjacent villages around it. The Shomron brigade with assistance from Special Forces combed the area for potential security breaches. Interrogations and intelligence are also involved in this search. 18 people were arrested last night for involvement in terror and weapons were found by the Menashe Brigade. Netanyahu told foreign journalists that “It’s only a matter of time before we get the murderers. We are committed to this.”
MK Rabbi Yaakov Litzman was again sworn in to become health minister: He said: “I’m happy to return to the Ministry of Health to continue the important work for citizens of Israel. I return to serve the public full time with a sense of mission and commitment to bring progress to our health system.”
