Speaking to officers at the scene of the deadly terror shooting in the West Bank village of al-Funduq, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi says “the clock is ticking” for the terrorists who carried out the attack.

“We are in an intensive and wide fight against terrorism in Judea and Samaria [West Bank]. We will increase and continue this fight. For the terrorists who carried out this attack, the clock is ticking. We will find out who carried out this attack; we will reach them,” Halevi says.

Two women in their 70s and an off-duty police officer were killed and at least eight other Israelis wounded when Palestinian terrorists opened fire on vehicles in the northern West Bank this morning.
