At one point one of the terrorists came out with a knife out of the synagogue, and was shot by police. After that the second terrorist came out, and probably after a shootout with the police, he too was shot.
Attorney Andre Rosenthal represents the petitioners. The State notes in its response to his petition that it is justified to destroy the homes of the terrorists in order to deter attacks in a time filled with such attacks. It notes that the description is a "dry description" of a criminal event, well planned by the terrorists, whereby the terrorists wished to murder worshipers inside a holy place, a brutal massacre which killed four civilians and a policeman who were innocent and injured more ".
The state's response, filed by attorney Yochi Gnessin, emphasized that it is necessary to deter residents of East Jerusalem,from where several such recent attacks emerged, especially since there are no known ties to official terrorist organizations. "So it is inherently difficult to thwart the attack ahead of time" he explained. Regarding allegations regarding the illegality of the move, Gnessin referred to past rulings of the Supreme Court which allowed this process. The names of the worshipers who were massacred in the synagogue were Moshe Twersky, Aryeh Kopinsky, Avraham Shmuel Goldberg and Kalman Levin, and Saif Zidane a traffic cop.
