WIth all due respect and deep condolences to the family...capital punishment should not implemented in Israel. Aside from moral arguments regarding death sentence by a nation, there has been no proof from the countries that do apply capital punishment, that it has a deterring effect. And more specifically against terrorism in Israel, it can become just the opposite - becoming either another channel for martyrism or a certain death sentence to any of our soldiers/citizens captured who might now be held for prisoner exchanges. Sentencing terrorist to prison might not satisfy a need for revenge, but it is the best alternative we have considering all the options.

like they were the same exact person. Israel security is based upon perpetual war, perpetual offense both real and imagined.
