Israel will authorize 1,000 new homes to be constructed at the West Bank settlement of Eli, the site of a deadly terror attack yesterday that killed four Israelis, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office says.

The decision was made in a meeting between Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.

“Our response to terror is to hit it hard and build in our land,” the statement says.
