Defense Minister Israel Katz expressed sorrow over the murder of Tzalah Gez in yesterday's attack in Samaria, stating: 'She was murdered by bloodthirsty human animals. I pray for the unborn child and the recovery of her wounded husband.' He added, 'We will continue fighting terrorism forcefully throughout Judea and Samaria and won't allow it to raise its head. I've instructed the IDF to locate where the terrorists came from and to deal forcefully with their residential area or settlement. We will continue offensive operations to pursue terrorism and its perpetrators. Those who support terrorism and provide it shelter will pay a heavy price.'
