Defense Minister Benny Gantz wraps up a situational assessment with top defense officials following this morning’s raid in the northern West Bank city of Jenin.

“The defense minister expressed appreciation to the forces operating over the weekend, and in particular for the operational activities carried out this morning in Jenin,” Gantz’s office says in a statement.

He adds that “defensive and offensive” military operations amid a string of terror attacks in Israel “will continue and intensify everywhere.”
