Netanyahu: IDF ‘completing the mission’ in Jenin, terror will not deter us
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the Israel Defense Forces are “completing the mission” in Jenin, after two days of major military activity.
“At this moment we are completing the mission, and I can say our widescale action in Jenin is not a one-time thing,” the prime minister says during a visit to a military post near the West Bank city.
“We will continue [to operate] as necessary to root out terrorism. We will not allow Jenin to go back to being a hotbed of terror,” he adds.
On the terror attack in Tel Aviv earlier, the premier says: “Anyone who thinks such a terror attack will deter us from continuing to fight terrorism is wrong. They just don’t know the spirit of Israel, our government, our citizens and our fighters.”
