Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said this afternoon that anyone who aided and abetted the Palestinian terrorist who fired at civilians last night in the center of Tel Aviv will pay a heavy price. Speaking at a joint press conference with Defense Minister Benny Gantz and Public Security Minister Omer Bar Lev, Bennett said, "Someone aided the terrorist in organizing [the attack] and obtaining the ammunition. Every murderer must know that we will get them, anyone who aids terrorists should know that the price they will pay will be unbearable."
Foreign Minister Yair Lapid said, “Last night, murderous terror struck in the heart of Tel Aviv. Young Israelis were murdered simply for being Israelis. This terror is the result of ongoing incitement by terrorist organizations driven by an ideology of hate. We will fight terror without compromise."
