Orit Mark Ettinger, daughter of Rabbi Michi Mark, who was murdered in a shooting attack in the southern Hebron Hills in 2016, spoke about her difficult feelings following the release of two of those responsible for the attack in which her father was murdered, her mother was critically injured, and two of her brothers were seriously injured.

""And justice? Where is it...two of those responsible for the attack in which my beloved father was murdered, my mother was critically injured and still in rehabilitation to this day, my brothers Fedya and Tehila, ages 14 and 15, were injured - are being released! I thought my heart was immune. But something is happening there - painful and shocking on levels that are hard to explain," she wrote.

She added: "We are with Chafetz Chaim - we will win! But we must fight evil properly.".
