IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir says he instructed the bolstering of forces in the West Bank following this morning’s “severe terror attack” in the Palestinian village of Tell.
During an assessment, Zamir ordered “a broad reinforcement of forces to strengthen defense in the area and to capture all the terrorists involved in the attack.”
One Israeli was killed and two others were injured after being allegedly attacked by Palestinians while “hiking” near Tell. Four Palestinians were also reported killed in the incident.
