Israel Police chief Kobi Shabtai says security forces will work tirelessly to capture the terrorist who carried out a deadly shooting of two Israelis near Huwara earlier today.
“I trust the Shin Bet and IDF intelligence, who will know how to reach the terrorist,” Shabtai says in a statement.
“We are in a very sensitive situation and it requires all of us to be on operational alert,” he says, adding that the “Israel Police is entering maximum alert in order to be at the highest level of preparedness for operation.”
