(Ha'aretz) Chaim Levinson - Amjad Awad, 19, and Hakim Awad, 18, two Palestinians who confessed to the murder of five members of the Fogel family in Itamar, were indicted in a West Bank military court on Sunday. Before leaving to carry out the murder, the suspects photographed themselves in the manner that terrorists do before carrying out a terror attack. Upon arriving at the Fogel family's home, the two entered the children's room and stabbed Yoav, 11, and Elad, 4. They then stabbed the parents and the baby. According to a senior Israel Security Agency official involved in the investigation, the two "described what they did with self-control and did not express regret over their actions at any stage of the investigation."
