(Reuters) - A Jewish couple and three of their children were stabbed to death in bed in a West Bank settlement in what Israeli officials said Saturday was an attack by one or more Palestinians who broke into their home.

Israeli troops set up roadblocks and were searching the area around the Jewish religious settlement of Itamar, near the Palestinian city of Nablus, for the killer or killers.

In a televised speech, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed shock that the parents and three of their children -- including a baby -- were "brutally murdered on Sabbath eve while sleeping."

"I instructed our security forces to make all efforts to find the murderers and we will not rest until we find them and bring them to justice," he said.

The office of President Barack Obama said: "There is no possible justification for the killing of parents and children in their home. We call on the Palestinian Authority to unequivocally condemn this terrorist attack."

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas later put out a statement condemning "all acts of violence against civilians, regardless of who carried them out and their motives."

Netanyahu, who spoke with Abbas by phone, said the statements by the Palestinian leadership were not enough and that they must take action to end incitement against Israelis in Palestinian schools, mosques and media.

FROZEN PEACE TALKS

No group claimed responsibility for the attack but the Hamas Islamists who rule the Gaza Strip said they offered their "full support" to any actions taken against settlers in occupied territory.

Murdered while they slept were they were sleeping: Rabbi Udi Fogel (36), his wife Ruth (34), 11-year-old Yoav, four-year-old Elad and three-month-old Hadas. Their young daughter, Tamar, returned home to find their bodies. The kids were involved in B’nei Akiva, or “Sons of [Rabbi] Akiva,” a religious Zionist youth group in which my late father, I, and all my siblings were active as kids. It teaches kids to plant trees and build things, in sharp contrast to the hate and brutality they teach Palestinian kids, who grow up to become these murderous bahayim [animals, in Arabic].
