TL;DR

Rabbi Doron Peretz, whose son Captain Daniel Peretz fell on October 7 and whose body was kidnapped to Gaza, said on Reshet Bet radio on Friday in response to the killing of the terrorist responsible for the abduction: "We are privileged to live in an era where we have a sovereign state that can settle accounts in terms of justice."

01 · THE DISPATCH

Rabbi Doron Peretz, whose son Captain Daniel Peretz fell in the October 7 attack and whose body was taken captive to Gaza, on Friday offered a personal and national response to the elimination of the terrorist who carried out the abduction. Speaking on Reshet Bet radio, Peretz framed the killing as an act of sovereign justice: "We are privileged to live in an era where we have a sovereign state that can settle accounts in terms of justice." The statement reflects a broader sentiment among some Israeli families of fallen and captive soldiers, who view the military's ability to target those responsible for the October 7 atrocities as a vindication of national resilience. The identity of the eliminated terrorist and the precise circumstances of the operation have not been detailed in the report. The Zioneer has not previously reported on this specific incident.
