prime minister benjamin netanyahu's statement read "this is a difficult day for the state of israel. we are witness to an especially heinous and shocking murder in which parents were murdered, leaving four young orphans. my heart is with the children, all of our hearts are with the children and the family. the killers knew that they were murdering a mother and father, the children were there. it has been proven again that the wild palestinian incitement leads to acts of terrorism and murder such as we have seen this evening. i am about to speak with the defense minister, the idf chief-of-staff and the director of the isa about the steps we will take not only to apprehend the murderers but also to increase security for all israeli citizens."
