Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the operation earlier today in which those allegedly responsible for the deaths of Lucy, Rina and Maia Dee were killed should send a clear message.

“There is a message here that needs to be understood: Over the past few months, we have eliminated 110 murderers,” including those arrested, says Netanyahu in comments from the Shin Bet war room, from where this morning’s operation was run.

“Our message to the murderers, to those who try to harm us or have harmed us, is: We will reach you,” he adds. “You can hide, you can try to hide — but it won’t help. The long hand of the State of Israel will reach you.”
