West Bank – Two Palestinians have been charged with the grisly murder of a young Israeli family stabbed to death in a West Bank settlement, the Israeli military said on Sunday.

Its website said military prosecutors charged Hakim Awad and a relative, Amjad Awad, both from the West Bank village of Awarta, with the murder of five members of the Fogel family: three-month-old Hadas, four-year-old Elad, 11-year-old Yoav, and their parents Udi and Ruthie.
“They confessed to committing the acts and incriminated one another,” the website said, quoting the chargesheet. “Also, fingerprints and DNA material of the two were found at the (Fogel) family home.”
The Ynet news website quoted Amjad Awad as saying he had no remorse, as he was led into a military court in the West Bank for the indictment.
“I’m proud of what I did,” it quoted him as saying.”I don’t regret what I did.”
Why doesn’t Israel have a death penalty for such animals? They know they will not be executed or tortured so they committed these crimes knowing that they will eventually will be released in a prisioner exchange.
very nice but they’ll be out of prison as soon as israel makes another prisoner exchange unfortunately. pity they cant get the death sentence
Israel needs to have the death penalty for terrorists. Why should they become a bargaining tool for so-called Palestinians?
So what does this mean? They’ll be sentenced to prison terms and then released in a swap at a later date
Unreal how they can say I’m proud with what I did! Ymach shemom! May the fogels rest in peace and their family and friends find comfort.
israel is too liberal with these scombag murderers…torture them to no end
I think we can safely assume that the first six contributors all live very safely, and very comfortably in North American ‘yishuvim’.
That’s why they feel they can so airily dictate legal policy to the Israeli Government.
I agree with the previous posts. Israel should have a death penalty. That is only right in cases such as these. There is no other way.
Israel has no backbone and has become so morally corrupt that it can’t execute murderers of the most gruesome sort. If the settlers are smart, they will ambush them in transport to court and shoot them in the head.
Their still alive?
An eye for an eye, stonings, lynchings, honor killings all seem to be a practice of the past yet capital punishment under certain conditions is acceptable,! Muslims still practice Sharia in which all the above are used and Israel is the country everyone wants to destroy!!!!
