Settler leader calls for military action in West Bank ‘with the same force as we’re using in Gaza’

The head of the Yesha Council settlement umbrella group Shlomo Ne’eman responds to this morning’s terror attack in the Jordan Valley, calling for military action against terrorists in the West Bank.

“The Palestinian Authority is waging a war against us, and only action with the same force as we’re applying in Gaza will eliminate all threats throughout the West Bank,” he says in a statement cited by Hebrew media.

Wishing a speedy recovery to the three people wounded in the attack, he vows, “Jewish blood will not be spilled in vain. To all those who seek to harm us, we say — even this morning — we will not give in to terrorism.”
