Israel will enforce the death penalty if the terrorists who committed the deadly Sharon terror attack<\/a> are caught alive, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said in a Sunday post to X\/Twitter.<\/p>\n

“If the terrorist is caught alive, he will be executed; this is the law, and we will demand its enforcement,” Ben-Gvir wrote. “This is precisely why Otzma Yehudit enacted the ‘Death Penalty for Terrorists’ Law<\/a>. Jewish blood is not forfeit. Whoever murders a Jew will see the hangman’s noose.”<\/p>\n

One person was killed, and five others were wounded in the attack, which began at Kochav Yair and continued on past Tsur Yitshak, Tsur Natan, and Selait.<\/p>\n

Yossi Dagan, head of the Samaria Regional Council, praised the quick actions of Selait’s Special Operations Command, which opened fire on the terrorist as they approached and prevented a much greater disaster.<\/p>\n

“This incident proves once again the critical importance of emergency standby squads, the Special Operations Commands, and the security elements in the settlements,” Dagan explained. “Terrorism does not distinguish between Jews and Arabs and does not distinguish between those who live in [the West Bank] and those who live inside the Green Line.”<\/p>\n

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich<\/a> warned that the country must face the reality of the “dangerous and extremist terror network that is growing under our noses” and wants to “destroy the State of Israel.”<\/p>\n

“This morning’s heinous attack in the heart of Sharon is a bloody wake-up call to the profound change that needs to happen among Israeli Arabs,” he said in a Sunday statement. “Hundreds of thousands of illegal weapons, including anti-tank missiles, machine guns, and explosive devices, alongside rampant crime and nationalist extremism, are an existential threat.”<\/p>\n

“The equation is simple,” Smotrich added. “Those who accept the state’s sovereignty will live here in peace. Those who choose the path of terror bear responsibility for their own fate.”<\/p>\n

The Democrats’ Yair Golan<\/a> expressed his condolences to the families of the person who was killed and those wounded in the attack in a post to X.<\/p>\n

“I strengthen the hand of the security forces operating in the field,” Golan wrote in his post. “In the north, in the south, and everywhere in Israel, Israel’s citizens deserve quiet and security.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Israel will enforce the death penalty if the terrorists who committed the deadly Sharon terror attack are caught…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":149098,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[33],"tags":[1412,19852,37,8750,34120,545,6905,10845,26847],"class_list":["post-149097","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-bezalel-smotrich","tag-death-penalty-for-terrorists-law","tag-israel","tag-itamar-ben-gvir","tag-terror-attack","tag-terrorism","tag-west-bank","tag-yair-golan","tag-yossi-dagan"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116708522208183612","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149097","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=149097"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149097\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/149098"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=149097"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=149097"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=149097"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
