Defense Minister Yoav Gallant calls on settlers not to take the law into their own hands after hundreds rampaged through several Palestinian villages and towns, torching cars and homes.
“I want to take this opportunity to call on my brothers, the settlers, please don’t take the law into your hands, let the IDF do what it knows how to do best — to safeguard your security,” he says after completing an initial probe into the deadly terror attack yesterday near the West Bank settlement of Eli.
Gallant also vows that the security forces will reach terrorists wherever they may be.
