Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reveals that the two Israelis killed in the terror attack at the Allenby Crossing were soldiers.
Speaking at a Channel 14 conference in Jerusalem, Netanyahu mourns the loss of “four combat soldiers in Rafah, and two combat soldiers at the Allenby Bridge, two of our soldiers.”
There is no comment from the military, which generally waits to report on fatalities among troops until families can first be notified.
Netanyahu also demurs when asked about the possible annexation of parts of the West Bank.
“This is one of those questions of diplomatic maneuvering where it is better to speak less,” he tells the right-wing network. “Wait patiently.”
