Defense Minister Benny Gantz says he sends his condolences to the families of those killed and wounded in the Beersheba terror attack.
“The IDF and security forces will use all means to prevent terrorist incidents, as much as possible. We are on high alert against all threats in all areas,” Gantz says during a tour of the military’s northern command, where a military drill is taking place.
“We will make sure that anyone who encourages or supports the latest attacks, will pay a price,” he adds.
