Following the attempted string of bus bombings, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed the IDF to embark on a massive operation in the West Bank against terrorist hubs, according to his office.
He also instructs the police and Shin Bet to “increase preventative activities” in Israel’s cities to prevent further attacks.
The decisions come after a meeting with Defense Minister Israel Katz, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, and Police Commissioner Daniel Levy.
