At a press conference at IDF Central Command headquarters, Defense Minister Benny Gantz says Israel is under a “murderous terror onslaught” after 11 people were killed in three attacks over the past week.
“We are taking offensive and defensive actions,” Gantz says. He explains orders issued earlier today, including bolstering the police with 1,000 soldiers.
Gantz says the defense establishment is leading intelligence efforts to make preventive arrests against potential attackers.
“If necessary, we will recruit thousands of reservists who will flood the streets and operate wherever operational activity is required,” he adds.
