Yair Altman reports in Israel News, Ynet, “Horror in Samaria: Terrorist murders family of 5,” that in the early hours of March 12, terrorists breached the security systems of West Bank Jewish settlement, Itamar (home of approximately 100 Jewish families known as ‘mitnachalim’ or settlers), in Samaria, close to Nablus (Schem). The terrorists broke into the home of a family of eight while everyone was asleep and killed five family members.

Death - pools of blood and children's toys

A newspaper report in Haaretz, “Five family members killed in suspected terrorist attack at their home in Itamar settlement,” by Anshel Pfeffer and Yaniv Kubovich, states that “according to police, the suspect broke into the house armed with a knife and stabbed the mother, father and three children, aged 11, three, and a baby.”

The Jerusalem Post article, “5 family members murdered by terrorist in Itamar settlement,” states that the emergency Israeli medical services, Magen David Adom, arrived at the home in the Jewish settlement and announced that the family, including a toddler and baby girl only few weeks old, were dead “from stabbing wounds.” Altman states in his report that paramedics described a scene of “toys next to pools of blood.”
