Israeli forces kill two Palestinian terrorists behind murder of Dee family
"Just as I promised Leo Dee - Israel’s defence establishment will reach any terrorist that harms our citizens," Defence Minister Gallant said.
Israeli special forces on Thursday morning killed two Palestinians suspected of murdering Lucy, Maia and Rina Dee in the West Bank.
The IDF, Shin Bet security agency, and Israel Police released a statement saying the forces had operated in the city of Nablus in the West Bank in the early hours of Thursday, killing two members of Hamas and a third senior operative who aided the two terrorists.
“This morning, during a joint ISA, Israel Border Police and IDF counterterrorism activity, the Hamas terrorist operatives Hassan Ktnani and Maed Mitsri were killed. The terrorists murdered Leah (Lucy), Maia and Rina Dee on April 7th in a shooting attack adjacent to the community of Hamra,” the statement said.

The forces raided the apartment where the terrorist were hiding, where they found two M-16 rifles and an AK-47.
Prime Minister Netanyahu issued a statement after the raid, saying: “This morning, we settled accounts with the murderers of Lucy, Maya and Rina Dee, may their memories be blessed. Our message to those who harm us, and those who want to harm us, is that whether it takes a day, a week or a month – you can be certain that we will settle accounts with you,”
“It does not matter where you try to hide – we will find you. Whoever attacks us will pay the price. I would like to thank the security agencies and our brave soldiers who worked night and day to settle accounts with the murderers,” Netanyahu added.
Defence Minister Gallant said: “Just as I promised Leo Dee – Israel’s defence establishment will reach any terrorist that harms our citizens.”
