Defense Minister Israel Katz says he will hold an “urgent meeting” today with security officials to discuss the attacks by Jewish extremists against soldiers and security forces in the West Bank.
“This phenomenon must be put to an immediate end. We will take all necessary measures and completely uproot this violence. No one will dare raise a hand against IDF soldiers and members of the security forces,” Katz says in a statement.
In recent days, there have been several attacks by Israeli settlers against troops and other security forces in the West Bank, following a settler rampage in a Palestinian village last week. Overnight, settler extremists rioted outside an army base and set fire to a nearby security installation.
