The son of one of the wounded in the attack in Elad said today (Friday) that his father told him to go home and then fell.

"Dad said where Mom was and said to go home," he repeated.

"I thought the bad guys would not kill the Jews, but I see that they actually stabbed Dad. I saw two people, one of whom had a knife. I said in my heart that it would not happen to us either."

In the deadly attack in the park near Ibn Gvirol Street in Elad, three men were killed yesterday - Yonatan Habakkuk, Boaz Gol and Oren Ben Yiftach.

This, after being attacked by two terrorists with an ax and a firearm at several points in the city.

Habakkuk, a 40-year-old resident of Elad, left behind a wife and five children.

According to his friends, he was murdered while going down to look for his son.

Gul, about 40 years old from Elad, left behind five children, and Ben Yiftach, a 37-year-old resident of Lod, left behind six children.

A 75-year-old man, a 38-year-old man and a 20-year-old man were also seriously injured in the attack, and another young man, a 23-year-old, was lightly injured.

The wounded were evacuated to Sheba Tel Hashomer and Beilinson Hospitals in Petah Tikva.

Security forces launched a manhunt for the terrorists who carried out the attack, which continued at this time.

The defense establishment fears that the terrorists will flee to the territories, and therefore checkpoints have been deployed on the roads, and a helicopter scans from the air 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."
