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.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
