After three Israelis were killed in a terror shooting earlier today, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu holds a situation assessment on the West Bank, his office says.

He is joined by Defense Minister Israel Katz, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, and other senior security officials.

According to the Prime Minister’s Office, Netanyahu approves “the operations to capture the terrorists and bring them to justice, and also approved a series of additional defensive and offensive operations in Judea and Samaria.”
