Former Minister of Communications Yoaz Hendel expressed deep sorrow for the murderous attack in Samaria, "It hurts my heart. While the Israeli government is holding a summit, the Yaniv brothers, citizens whose entire sin was traveling in their car, are murdered. Terrorism is not impressed by grand tweets and words, it demands a war of attrition and social cohesion. My condolences to the family and the Har Bracha community."
