Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich responds to this morning’s Jerusalem terror attack by saying that Israel is “at war on all fronts.”

Terrorists shot people at a bus stop, killing two people and wounding seven, shortly after Israel’s ceasefire with Hamas was extended for a seventh day.

“The terrible attack in Jerusalem reminds us that our enemies are not only the Nazis in Gaza. We will pursue and destroy them, with God’s help, everywhere,” Smotrich writes on X, saying Israel is going for “total victory on all fronts.”
