The manhunt for the terrorists responsible for Friday's deadly attack near the Samaria settlement of Dolev resumed on Sunday morning, as Israeli security forces again began canvassing large areas of the West Bank, as they have been doing since the attack took place.
Lod resident Rina Shnerb, 17, was killed in the attack, and her father, 46, and 19-year-old brother were seriously wounded when an explosive device was triggered as the family was visiting the Danny Spring near the settlement of Dolev in the Binyamin Regional Council in Samaria.

Several arrests were made over the weekend in connection with the attack. An IDF official said that the military was also looking at footage from a number of surveillance cameras in the area.
"The IDF, Shin Bet [security agency] and Israel Police are coordinating a wide-scale operational and intelligence effort to apprehend the perpetrators of this heinous attack" IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Aviv Kochavi said in a statement on Friday.
"I am confident in our ability to find them and to provide local residents with a high quality security solution," he said.
On Friday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to find the terrorists who targeted the family.
"Security forces are sparing no effort to find these heinous terrorists. We will find them. Israel's reach is long and we will settle the score with all who wish to harm us," Netanyahu said in a statement.
Hamas lauded the attack, saying it was a response to Israel's "aggression."
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh issued a statement saying that the attack was "proof of the vitality and courage of the Palestinian people, who will not surrender to the crimes of the occupation."
He called the attack "a heroic act."
Top Hamas official Mahmoud al-Zahar urged Palestinians to carry out more terrorist attacks.
"There is no future for the occupation and its settlers in Palestine. I call for more acts of sacrifice in the West Bank and for the development of more resistance instruments in Gaza so that we can realize our people's goal and return to our land," he said.
