At least 170 people were killed so far in a suicide bombing in Kabul on Thursday that ISIS took responsibility for.
A number of MKs took to Twitter to express their thoughts on the incident.
Some, like Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, Defense Minister Benny Gantz and others, expressed their condolences to the American and Afghan families who were affected by the attack.
"On behalf of the people of Israel, I share our deep sadness over the loss of American lives in Kabul," Bennett tweeted. "Israel stands with the United States in these difficult times, just as America has always stood with us."
"I extend my condolences for the lives lost and pray for the rapid recovery of the injured," Gantz wrote. "We stand with our American partners."
"Like many others in Israel and the free world, we salute the brave American servicemen who gave their lives for the defense of liberty," former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu tweeted.

MK Simcha Rothman took the opportunity to express his opinions on the makeup of the Knesset in a tweeted reply to Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked's condolences. "Someone should tell her that she has radical Islamist supporters of terror in her coalition," he wrote.

MK Amichai Chikli did not mention the bombing but used his tweet to voice his opinion on ISIS, writing that "There is absolutely no difference between Al Qaeda the Taliban, Hamas or ISIS. They all share the same fanatic Ideology to bring the world back to the 7th century under the rule of Islam."
