Security forces are continuing the hunt for the terrorists who carried out the attack tonight.

The defense establishment fears that the terrorists will flee to the territories, and therefore checkpoints have been deployed on the roads, and a helicopter is conducting air searches for a commercial vehicle that fled the scene of the attack.

Following a security consultation held by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, it was decided to continue the operational activities of the Israel Police, the Israel Defense Forces and the Shin Bet for the next few hours and days.

"Our enemies have embarked on a murderous campaign against Jews wherever they are," he said.

"Their goal is to break our spirit, they will fail. We will lay our hands on the terrorists and their supportive environment, and they will pay the price. I convey my deepest condolences to the families of those killed."
