Defense Minister Ehud Barak spoke with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and updated him on Tuesday's shooting attack. Barak also spoke with acting Prime Minister Silvan Shalom.
"This is a very serious incident," Barak said. "The IDF and security services will do everything to get their hands on the murderers. Israel will not allow any terror element to raise its head and will exact the price from the murderers and those who sent them. This is an attempt by vile terrorist to hurt efforts to jumpstart the peace process and try to hurt the chances of the direct talks opening in Washington." (Roni Sofer)
