(Times of Israel) Prior to stabbing Israeli mother-of-six Dafna Meir to death last week in her home in Otniel, Morad Adais, 15, watched "Palestinian television broadcasts which portrayed Israel as 'killing young Palestinians,'" the Israel Security Agency said Sunday. Adais confessed to the attack and told interrogators it was nationalistically motivated. The killing, in front of Meir's children, shocked the nation. "On the day of the murder, while under the influence of the programs he had been exposed to on Palestinian television, the minor decided to commit a stabbing attack with the goal of murdering a Jew," the ISA said. "The difficult results of the attack indicate, once again, the severity of the threat of wild incitement against the State of Israel and the Jews on Palestinian media, which influences lone attackers to murder and carry out serious terror attacks."
