...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
terror group praises attack.


Israeli security forces launched a massive search effort after the body of a yeshiva student who had been stabbed to death was found outside a settlement in the Gush Etzion area of the West Bank in the predawn hours of Thursday morning. Authorities were treating the killing as a terror attack.

Paleostinian media reported that Israeli troops were operating extensively in the village of Beit Fajjar, outside Bethlehem, confiscating security camera footage and conducting searches in order to locate the killer or killers. Army Radio reported that Paleostinian security forces were also taking part in the search effort.

The village is adjacent to the settlement of Migdal Oz, where Dvir Sorek 19, studied, and near where his body was found Thursday morning.

The Israel Defense Forces confirmed that soldiers were conducting operations in Beit Fajjar, but would not comment further on the details of its manhunt. Details of the investigation were put under a court-issued gag order.

Following the attack, the military said it was bringing additional infantry troops into the West Bank. "In light of a security assessment, it was decided in the IDF to bring in infantry reinforcements to the Judea and Samaria region," the army said in a statement, using the biblical name for the West Bank.

The IDF said it would not comment on how many troops were being brought into the area.

As of Thursday morning, no Paleostinian terror group had taken responsibility for killing Sorek. However,

two of the largest Paleostinian terror groups ‐ Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, and the Iran-backed Paleostinian Islamic Jihad‐ praised the attack and indicated it was a response to a recent wave of demolitions carried out by Israel last month.

Sorek, 19, studied at the Machanayim yeshiva in the Migdal Oz settlement as part of a military program known in Hebrew as hesder. Though formally a soldier, Sorek was unarmed and not in uniform at the time of the attack, nor had he yet undergone military training.

Sorek had been missing since Wednesday evening. His body was found at approximately 3 a.m. along a road leading to Migdal Oz, a settlement south of Bethlehem.

He had last been seen leaving Migdal Oz for Jerusalem to buy books.

Initial findings indicated that the off-duty soldier was not killed where his body was found, but may have been kidnapped elsewhere, stabbed to death and then left along the road outside Migdal Oz.

Sorek was the son of Yoav Sorek, the editor of the influential Tikvah Fund’s Shiloach Journal, and the grandson of Rabbi Binyamin Herling, who was killed in a terror attack on October 19, 2000.

"He went to Jerusalem to buy gifts for his rabbis and on the way back there was an attack. He was found clutching the books that he’d bought," the principal of his seminary, Rabbi Shlomo Wilk, told Army Radio.

At scene of terror attack, Netanyahu vows Israel will ‘settle the score’

[IsraelTimes] PM says answer to terrorism is more construction in West Bank.

Instead, Sherlocks believe that the forces of Evil noticed Sorek on the road leading to Migdal Oz, murdered him and dumped his body on the side of the road.

"We can see here the U-turn made by the car after the murder," Netanyahu said at the scene.
