Defense Minister Yoav Gallant wraps up a security assessment with top defense officials following a recent string of deadly terror attacks, including a truck-ramming attack earlier today.
“The State of Israel is under a terror offensive, against civilians, mainly on the roads, and against IDF soldiers who are guarding them on the roads and in the settlements,” Gallant says in a video statement.
“Unfortunately, there have been very heavy prices, both today and in the last few weeks,” he says.
“We will reach every terrorist and we will settle the score. Anyone who sets out to harm Israel, anyone who sends [attackers], will end his life in the cemetery or in prison,” Gallant says.
“We will know how to protect our citizens and win this campaign,” he adds.
