Bennett hits back after multiple terror attacks BY DAVID SAFFER
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has vowed to “settle the score” with anyone connected to terror attacks following the murder of 14 Israelis in Be’er Sheva, Bnei Brak, Hadera and Tel Aviv. Security forces are on high alert as Pesach approaches and have bolstered troops on the West Bank to stop a wave of recent violence against citizens. A manhunt continues for Fathi Hazem, the father of terrorist Ra’ad Hazem, who murdered Tomer Morad, Eytam Magini and Barak Lufan on Dizengoff Street in the heart of Tel Aviv a week ago. Security forces tracked down and killed Hazem, 28, in the Jaffa quarter of the city after an exchange of fire following a manhunt. Bennett condemned Hazem, a member of the Fatah movement in Jenin and former officer in the Palestinian security forces, for praising his son’s actions in a video. “I watched the terrorist’s father incite further violence and take pride in the actions of his murderer son, we’ve all seen the celebrations in Jenin,” he said. “They wish to break our spirit and our grip over the land but they will not succeed. We will never break. The attack in Tel Aviv is over but we will not let our guard down within Tel Aviv and the rest of the country.” The ISA have carried out raids and arrested over a dozen

suspects believed to be involved in terrorist activity. Eight militants are from Palestinian villages near Nablus. Two Hamas members were arrested in Hebron. Bennett addressed the nation following the Tel Aviv atrocity. “There are no restrictions in this

war nor will there be,” he said. “Attacks by lone terrorists without organisational infrastructure are a major challenge for the security establishment but it will meet them. Our enemies will seek out every crack and will exploit every opportunity to attack us. I have
no expectations from people who celebrate the murder of Jews by handing out sweets. However, we must have high expectations of ourselves. We, as a people and a State, will all need patience and strong nerves, and to be alert. But above all we need great faith in the justice of our cause in this land. We will fight terrorism with a strong hand and we will win.” Thousands of mourners attended the funerals of Morad, Magini and Lufan. Morad and Magini were childhood friends, attended the same high school and Tel Aviv University. Kfar Saba Mayor Rafi Saar said that a stand in a new fooball stadium in Tel Aviv will be named after Magini and Morad. Lufan was a top kayaker. He was a coach for Israel’s Olympic and Paralympic kayaking team. Bennett visited the wounded at Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center. “We are going from defence to offence and are striking at the sources of the terrorism at any time and any place, at night, during the day, morning and evening, everywhere,” he said. “There will be no restrictions on the security forces, on the IDF, ISA or the Israel Police. We will continue pursuing the terrorists everywhere.” Hazem struck on a packed Dizengoff Street and escaped through back streets prompting a manhunt.
