In the Tulkarem refugee camp, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that IDF forces “will launch additional operational activity against terror centers” after the attempted bus bombings last night.
“In the past year, we have greatly increased our activity,” he says. “We are entering the terrorist strongholds, clearing entire streets used by terrorists, their homes. We are eliminating terrorists and commanders.”
Netanyahu also gets a security briefing from the commander of the Judea and Samaria Division, the head of the Civil Administration, and the commander of the Ephraim Brigade.
