President Isaac Herzog appears to warn against settler vigilante attacks and says support should be given “only” to the IDF and security forces following the deadly terror shooting in the West Bank.

In recent months several terror attacks have been followed by rampages by extremist settlers through Palestinian towns.

“The people of Israel have always known how to be united, determined, and responsible and to support and back up the IDF and the security forces — and only them — in our constant and uncompromising struggle against terror,” Herzog says.
