2 jihadists arrested in murder of Fogel family
The Jerusalem Post reports that the IDF has captured 2 culprits in the bloodbath of the Fogel family in Itamar (Hat tip: Jihad Watch):
Update: according to this report, the 2 evil filths were allowed into the town for olive harvesting, and knew the area.
Update 2: there are calls coming for establishing the death penalty in cases like these.
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 two culprits must receive the death sentence for their horrifying obscenity against humanity. It's high time the authorities made serious use of it to send a message what will happen if they commit hate crimes this abominable and obscene.
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 re-enacted the murders, security forces said on Sunday. According to Army Radio, they did not express remorse for their crimes.
Both men 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 toward Itamar on foot, armed with knives, a wirecutter and masks to cover their faces.
Update: according to this report, the 2 evil filths were allowed into the town for olive harvesting, and knew the area.
Update 2: there are calls coming for establishing the death penalty in cases like these.

Its not going to happen. Israel has never applied the death penalty to murder.
Its far more likely a corrupt Israeli government will release them in the future for reasons of political convenience as was done under Ehud Olmert.
And there is no real life imprisonment in Israel and the murderers won't be treated harshly at all for their crime.
Judah had a higher level of madragda - of spiritual awareness in dealing with the rape of Dinah than Israel's leaders do in dealing with murderers.
The town should have been wiped out to teach those shelter them an object lesson. But Israel's government is more afraid of bad press than of doing justice. Why were the murderers NOT killed by the IDF on sight?
I get no comfort seeing them alive in Israeli custody.
