Prime Minister Yair Lapid pays tribute to the IDF officer who was killed in an overnight firefight and vows to continue the fight against terror.
Lapid calls Maj. Bar Falah an “Israeli hero” and says he was killed “when he and his soldiers bravely… eliminated the terrorists.”
The prime minister says one of the two gunmen killed during the operation was “a member of the Palestinian Authority’s intelligence forces. This escalates things to another level.”
“In any place where the [Palestinian] Authority does not enforce order, we will not hesitate to act,” adds Lapid. “The IDF and Shin Bet are prepared for any scenario to prevent terrorism from raising its head… Israel will severely harm anyone who tries to harm it.”
