Kach outlawed as a terrorist organization after the Hebron massacre

After Kach supporter Baruch Goldstein murdered 29 Palestinian worshippers at the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron on 25 February 1994 — and Kach figures praised it — the Israeli cabinet outlawed Kach and Kahane Chai as terrorist organizations in March 1994 under anti-terror law. The Kahanist current nonetheless persisted and re-entered the Knesset decades later via Otzma Yehudit.
