Over the weekend, IDF forces continued to hunt down the terrorists who carried out the deadly shooting attack near the Chumash outpost on Thursday night, in which the late Yehuda Dimentman was killed.
An IDF spokesman, Brigadier General Ran Kochav (Rencho), said over the weekend that the security forces had a "tip of the iceberg" regarding the terrorists.

The visit was also attended by Central Command Commander Maj. Civilian Brigadier General Fares Attila and senior GSS officials from the Judea and Samaria region.
