The state has decided it will not release the bodies of the two terrorists from the Har Nof Massacre.

The families of the two terrorists went to court to demand the release of the bodies, according to a report in Haaretz.




In previous terrorist attacks Israel released the terrorist bodies to the families shortly after the investigations were completed, but not this time.

Chief Police Inspector Yigal Elmaliach, who was representing the Israel Police, reportedly told the court:

“The State of Israel is trying to cope with the recent wave of attacks. One possibility being considered is not to return the bodies to the families, but [for the state] to bury them. The issue is being examined at the highest levels.”
