"I want to be clear about the pictures from Huwara, I understand the pain but we must not take the law into our hands. The Israeli government, and not its civilians, need to take care of terror and deter it," National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said on Monday morning at an Otzma Yehudit Party meeting held at the Evyatar outpost, which was reoccupied overnight on Sunday as a response to the terror attack yesterday that killed brothers Hallel and Yagel Yaniv.

The statement was Ben-Gvir's first public response to a rampage by settlers in Huwara on Sunday night that resulted in dozens of burnt Palestinian houses and vehicles, as well as numerous injuries. The terror attack was "shocking" and showed that Israel was "at war," the national security minister said in the video statement. He said that the state needed to adopt a policy of "true war on terror," instead of the current "containment policy."
