Lapid, Gantz send condolences to grieving families after deadly West Bank attack

Opposition leader Yair Lapid writes today is “painful and black” following a deadly shooting in the West Bank’s Jordan Valley.

“Two young women were murdered in the Valley. Another woman is fighting for her life. The price of terror is heavy and heartbreaking,” he tweets. “I pray with all the people of Israel for the woman’s life and send warm condolences to the families who lost their loved ones today in the valley.”

Lapid expresses confidence that security forces will capture the gunmen and that terrorism “will not beat us.”

National Unity party chair Benny Gantz also sends his well-wishes to the grieving families, praying for “the full recovery of the wounded woman.”

“I have no doubt security forces will reach the vile murders and those that sent them,” he tweets.
