The fight against terrorism in the West Bank could significantly expand, says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a visit to the undercover Border Police “Mista’arvim” unit, according to his office.
“While we are waging a powerful war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, we are aware of the possibility that a larger and more powerful front could open up here in Judea and Samaria,” says Netanyahu, using the West Bank’s biblical name.
He is joined by Israel Police chief Daniel Levy and Border Police Commander Brik Yitzhak.
