IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi tells soldiers at the Ofer military base that the terrorist who carried out last night’s attack in Tel Aviv crossed into Israel through the West Bank “seam zone” — the area located east of the Green Line but west of the border of the security barrier.

There are many gaps in the barrier, and the IDF has dispatched thousands of troops in recent weeks to the seam zone area to make sure that Palestinians don’t illegally cross into Israel.

Kohavi tells the troops that the attacker should not have been able to cross into Israel and that it is the IDF’s responsibility to prevent such things.
