“The IDF, police and security forces proved again that those who dare to turn to terror will be found and punished with the utmost severity,” Herzog writes on Facebook.

“I congratulate [the security forces] for their committed actions, and trust them to keep protecting Israel’s citizens. Finding the terrorist is no comfort for the terrible pain of the Bakal, Ruimi and Shaaban families, but it is important that the security forces continue act to speedily return security to Israel’s streets.”
