Gantz meets with security chiefs following overnight raid on Islamic Jihad cell
Defense Minister Benny Gantz Gantz says he held a security assessment today with IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi, Shin Bet head Ronen Bar and other top security officials after troops killed three Palestinian Islamic Jihad members in a gunfight overnight as they were allegedly headed to carry out a terror attack in Israel.
Gantz praises the soldiers involved in the raid, including the elite senior officer who was seriously wounded.
“We are continuing to work around the clock… to protect Israeli citizens,” he says.
