Palestinian Arab gunmen on Thursday murdered and Israeli man and his wife in front of their four young children.

The attack occurred on a highway in Samaria (the so-called “West Bank”). The victims were struck by a hail of gunfire from a passing vehicle.

The Israeli man and his wife were pronounced dead at the scene by first responders. Their children – aged 4 months, 4, 7 and 9 – were unharmed, at least physically.

The perpetrators escaped into the safety of a nearby Palestinian Authority-controlled village.

Israel holds the Palestinian Authority responsible for such attacks given that Palestinian state-run media and its official school curriculum have brainwashed an entire generation of Palestinian Arabs to violently oppose the very presence of Jews in their midst.
