For all of our friends who wanted to wait until the guilty were found before we
concluded that it was Palestinians....
It was.
(NewsCore) - JERUSALEM -- Two Palestinians were arrested by Israel's Shin Bet internal security agency in connection with the murder of five Israelis at a West Bank settlement, Israeli public radio said Sunday.
The two men reportedly confessed to stabbing five members of the Fogel family at the northern West Bank settlement of Itamar on March 11 and also staged a reconstruction of the slaying, the report said.
The family -- including three-month-old Hadas, four-year-old Elad, 11-year-old Yoav and their parents, Udi and Ruthie -- was killed as they slept in their home near Nablus. Two of the couple's three other young children were not harmed in the attack, which was discovered by their 12-year-old daughter, Tamar, after she returned from a youth activity.
Shin Bet and the Israeli military said that the two suspects were from the West Bank village of Awarta, which lies near Itamar and has been the central focus of the investigation into the murders.
Two Palestinians Arrested Over Israeli Family Murder
Palestinian youths from Awarta "saw children sleeping in Fogel home," snuck in and stabbed them to death; suspects were affiliated with PFLP terror group, admitted to crime but showed no remorse. Two Palestinian youths from the village of Awarta were arrested in recent days for the brutal slaying of five members of the Fogel family in their Itamar home last month, the IDF and Shin Bet said on Sunday following the lifting of a media ban on the investigation.
The suspects have been named as Hakim Maazan Niad Awad, an 18-year-old high school student, and Amjad Mahmud Fauzi Awad, 19, both from the West Bank village of Awarta, located 2 kilometers south of the settlement of Itamar.
The suspects have confessed to the stabbings and reenacted their acts, security forces said on Sunday. According to Army Radio, they did not express remorse for their crimes.
They are affiliated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PLFP) terror group, and received significant assistance from family members and friends after the attack, security forces added.
The suspects planned the stabbings days ahead of time. On the night of March 11, after unsuccessful attempts to obtain firearms from a local PFLP representative in their village, the two set out towards Itamar on foot armed with knives, a wirecutter, and masks to cover their faces.
Immediately after entering the home, the youths set their knives on two young brothers sleeping in their beds, 4-year-old Elad and 11-year-old Yoav.]
They then entered the parents' bedroom, where they launched a knife attack on Ehud and Ruth Fogel. The parents fought back, attempting to fend off the attackers, but died of their stab wounds during the struggle.
The two then left the house. One of the suspects returned and stabbed the three-month-old baby Hadas to death in her crib.
