Interior Minister Moshe Arbel visited the Khatib family in Tamra to offer condolences after they lost four female family members, saying: "The State of Israel is under attack by Iran's axis of evil which aims to harm all its citizens, Jews and Arabs alike, without distinction between blood and blood." He added that "The State of Israel is committed to the safety and security of Tamra citizens just like the citizens of Bat Yam and Petah Tikva. Anyone who attacks synagogues and mosques in God's name proves they have neither morals nor God."
