Gallant added in a statement: "We are in the midst of a terrorist attack, everyone sees it. The security forces are ready, we will get to the terrorists. Anyone who tries to turn Israel's holidays into days of mourning - will regret it greatly. From the moment of the attack, we are working to reach those who It is necessary. We will reach the terrorists, we will come to terms with them, and we will bring them to the cemetery or to the prison."
The two sisters were murdered in a shooting attack on Route 57 near Hamra.
Aman, who was with Etan in the car, was mortally wounded, and her life is still in danger.
The father of the family was driving in another vehicle in front of them along with two other children.

According to a military source, the findings at the scene show that the vehicle in which the women were traveling was sprayed by the terrorists, who even made a death certificate afterwards.
According to the source, the security system does not rule out the possibility of a "sophisticated attack", in which the terrorists drove a car, deliberately hit the Israeli car and caused it to veer off the road.
After that, the assailants got out of the vehicle and opened fire at the female passengers.
The security forces launched a hunt for the terrorists and roadblocks were set up in the area.
In the current wave of terrorism, 17 people have been murdered so far.
