The suspects have confessed to the stabbings and re-enacted the murders, security forces said. According to Army Radio, they did not express remorse for their crimes. Amjad said that he was unaware that there were two other children in the house, and that if he had known, he would have stabbed them as well.

Both men are affiliated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terror group and received significant assistance from family members and friends after the attack, security forces added.

Itamar Murderers from a Terrorist Family -Yaakov Lappin

Hakim Awad's father, Maazan, is a PFLP member who served 5 years in a PA prison in the late 1990s for the murder of a female cousin and the burning of her body.

Hakim's uncle, Jibril Awad, is a PFLP member who transported a terrorist to Itamar in 2002. In that attack, the wife and three children of Itamar security officer Boaz Shevo were shot dead in their home.

Another uncle, Salah Awad, 31, a PFLP member, is suspected of aiding and abetting the suspects in covering their tracks after the murders, telling them to burn their blood-soaked clothes, and sending the firearms they stole from Itamar to a friend in Ramallah, Jad Avid, 31.
