IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir vows that the military will hunt down “all the terrorists involved in the terror attack” in the West Bank Palestinian village of Tell this morning.

“We will reach every one of them and settle the score with them,” he says.

Zamir says the IDF has bolstered its forces in the West Bank in recent weeks.

“This morning, we deployed many additional forces to strengthen the defense and offensive operations against terrorist infrastructure in the area,” he adds.

Two Israelis and four Palestinians were killed in the clash, and eight others were wounded.
