The Facts
A massive manhunt is underway as Israeli police announced on Fri. that they had identified the main suspects of a deadly terror attack that killed three people in Elad on Thurs. as two young Palestinian men from a village near Jenin.
The deceased were named as Yonatan Havakuk, Boaz Gol, and Oren Ben Yiftah, three fathers in their 30s and 40s who together are survived by 16 children.
The Spin
Pro-Israel narrative
This is but the latest in a recent outbreak of violence promoted by Palestinians against Israel. Israeli security forces must arrest the perpetrators and hold them fully accountable for terrorizing the nation and attempting to damage the fabric of Israeli life.
Pro-Palestine narrative
While tragic, such operations come as a reaction to Israeli acts of aggression against Palestinians. Attacks carried out by Israeli settlers, right-wing militants and occupation soldiers are driving the security situation by radicalizing Palestinians to seek revenge.
