After baby dies, Netanyahu vows to catch terrorists behind Ofra shooting

Prime Minister Netanyahu vows Israel will track down the terrorists behind a shooting outside the West Bank settlement of Ofra, after a baby born prematurely to a mother wounded in the attack dies.

“Our heart is with Shira and Amichai after the passing of their 4-day-old baby that doesn’t even have a name,” Netanyahu says at an event for foreign reporters.

The prime minister says security forces are working to find the terrorists behind the attack, who he calls “despicable murderers — the most deviant criminals on earth.”

“I hope there will soon be news on the matter,” he says.

“We won’t let up until we find them and bring them to justice,” Netanyahu adds.
