Five members of an Israeli family were killed Friday night when a suspected terrorist broke into their home in the West Bank settlement of Itamar and stabbed them all to death. The 12-year-old daughter who returned home from a friend’s house discovered the bodies. According to police, the suspect broke into the house armed with a knife and stabbed the mother, father and three children, aged 11, three and a three-month-old baby. Two infants, aged 2 and 4, survived the attack while escaping to their neighbors.

Security sources suspect that the attacker who carried out the massacre cut the fence surrounding Itamar and entered the home of the victims through the window, authorities could not immediately discount the possibility that more than one attacker was involved in the murder. The military blocked the entrance to the northern West Bank settlement of Itamar, as soldiers poured inside and a pair of ambulances departed.
Prime Minister Netanyahu was updated on the killings overnight and ordered the IDF and security services to widen the scope of their activities in order to capture the killers. Netanyahu expressed deep outrage over the horrific crime. “This despicable murder of an entire family of innocents, parents, children and infants, while they were sleeping in their home on Shabbat,” Netanyahu was quoted as saying. Netanyahu demanded that the Palestinian Authority and its president to help find the murderers.
“Israel will not return to normalcy after a despicable murder such as this. Israel will act assertively to preserve the security of the lives of Israeli citizens, and punish the murderers,” Netanyahu emphasized.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak vowed Saturday that Israel would use every means possible to track down those behind the fatal stabbing of a family of five in the West Bank settlement of Itamar on Friday night.
“The IDF and security services will act quickly and with all the tools at their disposal in order to capture those responsible for the despicable murder, ” Barak said.
Itamar, a religious Jewish settlement in the hills of the northern West Bank, close to the Palestinian city of Nablus, is home to some of the West Bank’s most fervent settlers, and it is frequently in the midst of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The overnight attack is the first attack against settlers in months and the first of its kind and scope in years. It marks a rare outburst of violence during a relatively calm period.

pali good morning to all. “religion of peace” good morning. These blood drenched barbarians deserve nothing other than their end. ...and to think the US taxpayers send money (lots of money) to these cromagnon mooslum palis each year. Sheesh!
Nothing is going to happen. Israel didn’t react when Palestinians threw 25 kids off the roof of their school killing them all. All they did was name one of their warships after the town. One IDF soldier was so frustrated over the inaction of the government that he threw off his uniform and walked home in his underwear.
Probably a bunch of Amish dudes on their way home from a bar or something. /s
Anyone who does not believe that this is exactly the kind of attacks these Muslim Terrorist plan, celebrate and pray for on every American each and everyday of their disgusting lives!
Democrat liberal socialist support the Palestinians who carried out this slaughter of innocents, but demand the prosecution and execution of American soldiers who wound or accidentally kill a civilian in combat during a battle where we are being shot at!
Keep this in perspective when ever you hear the democrat liberal socialist and their ilk CAIR who want you to believe it is Israel's fault, just like they claim it was America's fault we were attacked on 9-11!
Why can’t fkx news report this on it’s news page? Why does this have to appear in some blog?
IF THE RACES WERE THE OTHER WAY ROUND, IT WOULD BE FRONT PAGE AROUND THE WORLD
As Chris Plante puts it, this isn’t even a “Dog Bites Man” story, it’s a “Dog Bites Dog Food” story.
And they cry peace, peace, but there is no peace. I wish I could send this to hitlery, but she wouldn’t care anyway.
a defiled people.
Monsters.
Paging CAIR and Keith Ellison..
bttt
THIS is the lefts idea of “democracy”. Let the TERRORISTS have their way and reign. SUrely you don’t believe good people would WANT THIS ?
THIS is Obama’s view of “peace”.
Let evil prevail and flourish.
THIS is Obama’s view of a true democracy.
Let ISLAM finally prevail.
Coming to YOUR home soon.
Gee, I'd hate to see a *confirmed* one.
What was your first clue, Einstein?
Yea these Christians and Jews are nothing but trouble makers.. ..</S>
You are so right, Reverend. And this is exactly what frustrates me most. For years now Israel looks as if it accepted the faith prescribed to it by the Arabs and the Europeans.
So the Israeli government will lob a few rockets at a couple of houses of known terrorists... and then roll over and go to sleep.
To my shame, perhaps, but I am unfamiliar with this particular atrocity. Where can I find the specifics? Could you kindly give me some references?
