The hunt for the terrorists continues: Over the weekend, progress was made in the hunt for the terrorists who murdered 25-year-old Yehuda Dimentman on Thursday at the entrance to the settlement of Homesh in Samaria. Channel 13 reported that security forces got their hands on security cameras from nearby buildings, managed to find the point where the attackers ambushed them - and reconstruct their escape route. In addition, investigators of the attack know what weapon the attackers used, but this detail is prohibited from publication. Meanwhile, a number of Palestinians were arrested on suspicion of aiding the terrorists. According to estimates, the terrorists ambushed in bushes near the road and fired about ten bullets at him. Commander of the Judea and Samaria Division Avi Balut said: "The time will not be far when we will get our hands on the cell. We will do everything to capture them as quickly as possible." Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi visited the scene of the attack today and said that the forces will not stop until they capture the terrorists. "The IDF and the security forces continue to pursue the terrorists who were involved in the attack," said Kochavi. "Along with the intelligence effort, we will also strengthen the fighting forces and we will continue to act and expand operational activity as needed," he added. "I send my condolences to the Dimentman family and wish the wounded a speedy recovery." [Gallery]
