(sot: isaac hertzog/ israeli opposition party leader) "it requires a deep search as to the possibility that it may be isil." for the victims... a candle light vigil... one group had been celebrating a birthday... ... until the lives of alon bakal, 26, and shimon ruimi, 30, were ended in cold blood. (simmons on camera 1:27 - 1:46) tomorrow funerals will be held for the two men murdered... while tonight there is no sign of their killer... and no clear motive has been established. israeli police are looking at intelligence while special forces are helping the manhunt... the fear is that he may attack again.
