Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan on Friday morning 19 Tishrei consulted with acting Israel Police Commissioner Bentzi Sau and the head of the Israel Prison Authority Aaron Franco following the fatal shooting attack on Thursday night in the Shomron that claimed the lives of Rabbi and Mrs. Eitam and Na’ama Henkin HY”D.
The minister was briefed on the ongoing investigation into the attack as well as the current level of preparedness in Jerusalem before the levaya of the victims. The levaya was held at 11:00 at Har Menuchos. There was also an especially large police contingent in and around the Old City of the capital for Friday Muslim prayers on Har Habayis.
The minister called for an increase in police manpower in the Old City, explaining he did not want to see a single street without a police presence.

Mr. Erdan has shown again that the Israeli pasifist policy is classic “closing the stable door after the horse has bolted”. Total willful incompetence! Netanyahu/Rivlin & co. can keep up the tough talk, empty “threats”, red lines, etc… They simply DON’T CARE!!! Like any other Goy, they are just working on their “legacy”! As long as the editorial board of the NY Times, CNN, NPR, BBC, Cory Booker, etc…just love us, all is good. A couple of Jews here & there – nu nu! Stuff happens! What a total disgrace! Why would anyone in his right mind want to make an aliyah to a country that despises you & put his life in danger?
New policy, 5,000 new homes every time they kill ONE of us?
