Yehoshua Mark, a son of Rabbi Miki Mark HY”D, who was murdered in a drive-by terrorist shooting attack near Otniel, feels the state and the government are partially to blame for the murder.

In an interview with Channel 20 on Wednesday, 21 Tammuz, he explained “The terrorist has already been imprisoned in Israel. We release them. We permitted him to murder my father. The state has a hand in this”.

Yehoshua adds, “The fact that the terrorist murderer is able to do this twice is far more serious than a failure. I understand the second terrorist was a policeman in the PA (Palestinian Authority). I think the government must address these issues more seriously”.

Earlier this week, IDF forces operating in the Hebron region PA village of Tzurif apprehended the terrorists involved in the murder of Rabbi Mark and the wounding of members of his family. One of the terrorists was shot dead when he opened fire at the IDF force.
