Public Security Minister Omer Barlev threatens to step up military operations in the West Bank should the wave of Palestinian terror persist.

Addressing terrorists, he says, “The State of Israel and its security forces, including the Israel Police, will pursue you wherever you are, day and night, and get to you.”

Barlev, whose ministry is in charge of the police, adds, “Just as in recent days, forces from the police, IDF and Shin Bet have been operating in the Jenin refugee camp, so we will continue to counter terrorism with a strong fist, and we won’t hesitate to embark on even more extensive military operations, in Jenin and anywhere that is a hotbed of terrorism.

“Don’t try us,” he warns.
