IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi holds an assessment at the scene of the truck-ramming terror attack near the central city of Modiin, in which an off-duty soldier was killed and six other people were wounded.
Halevi meets with the commander of the IDF’s West Bank division, Brig. Gen. Avi Blot, and head of the Efraim Regional Brigade, Col. Netanel Shamaka.
“We are increasing activities in [the West Bank], and we will also draw lessons immediately from the investigation of this attack,” Halevi is quoted as saying in a statement.
