Netanyahu spoke at an awards ceremony for Shin Bet security agency personnel at the President's Residence in Jerusalem.
"I thank you for your contribution to the arrests of the killers of Dvir Sorek," Netanyahu said. "Immediately as details of the incident came in, I said with great confidence that it wouldn't take long for us to get our hands on the murderer."
Netanyahu went on to say, "That's what you've done in recent years – all the murderers have been caught, with no exceptions. In every incident in which brutal terrorists have taken the lives of innocent Israelis, it didn't take long before we reached them."
"You arrested Dvir's murderer within 48 hours," he said, adding "We've mapped the houses of the terrorists and will soon demolish them."
Netanyahu also addressed the large number of terrorist plots which were thwarted by the Shin Bet during this past year alone.
"You operate day and night for the safety of our citizens. Last year, you foiled more than 600 terror attacks. The prevention of terrorism is done on a massive scale. We're doing everything possible to cut off terrorism at its very conception," the prime minister said.
