Odia Even Haim, whose mother Kochava was killed in an attack near Bani Naim in 2010, responded to the arrest of cell members who planned the attack, as announced by the Shin Bet, and told ynet that "there are mixed feelings. On one hand it brings up the longing and pain and there's a feeling of going backward, on the other hand there's joy that we understand everyone involved in this attack will face justice, despite 15 years having passed." According to her, "The circle will not close, it's not something you can close a circle on, but the feelings are good and comforting."
