Hundreds of Israelis cried out of agony and anger on Friday by filing a Jewish stabbed to death by a Palestinian terrorist teenager the day before.

Yotam Ovadia, 31, allegedly purchased ingredients to make his wife a romantic dinner to mark Tu B'Av, Jewish Valentine's Day, when the attack occurred in the Colony of Adam, just north of Jerusalem. Ovadia also leaves behind two young children.

"The heart breaks at the sound of your grandson who calls" Daddy, daddy, "shouted Ovadia's father-in-law. "The little boy can not go on without you."

The perpetrator was identified as Mohammed Tareq Yousef, 17 years old. He also stabbed and seriously injured another 58-year-old Israeli, before finally being shot by his third victim.

At the funeral, Vice Defense Minister Eli Ben Dahan blamed a Palestinian Authority for the murder of Jews by praising such actions as "heroic" and by raising killers like Yousef to " martyr".

"To those who think that the Palestinian Authority is part of the solution, this is not the case! ! "Tourism Minister Yariv Levin has argued that" the responsibility lies with the Palestinian Authority, those who teach hate will pay a price. "

Other Israeli officials, including the minister of Defense, Avigdor Liberman, threatened to expand Adam and other Jewish settlements in the area.
