Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said in the Knesset plenum that "the entire security system is determined to bring to justice anyone who has acted against the citizens of Israel, whether it is a declared terrorist or a civilian who participated in this heinous act of murder. There are only two options for these people - prison or the cemetery." He added: "This is not about a battle or a war - this is about the worst human degradation, the actions of these human animals, and we will finish the judgment against them."
