An Israeli mother and father of four were murdered last night in the West Bank. Their names were Naama and Eitam Henkin

responsibility.The IDF has deployed 4 battalions to aid in the search for the killers. A Palestinian car was torched and revenge graffiti was seen in the West Bank village of Bitilu.
In NYC, PM Netanyahu said the cause of the terror attack was Palestinian incitement and noted the deafening silence of the PA in not condemning the terrorist attack.
In today’s NYT editorial, editors described PA President Abbas as "an acutely bitter man" who has given up on the peace process with Israel.
PM Netanyahu will meet with US Secretary of State Kerry tonight.
