Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issues a statement lamenting a deadly terror attack earlier today and calling on Israelis not to take the law into their own hands in response.
His comments come after a group of settlers rioted in Huwara following the shooting attack there that killed two Israeli brothers.
“The IDF and the security forces are currently hunting for the murderer,” says Netanyahu. “We will find him, we will catch him and we will bring him to justice.”
“I am asking, while blood is boiling and winds are high — don’t take the law into your hands,” he adds. “I ask that you allow the IDF and security forces to do their work.”
