Defense Minister Yoav Gallant met with top military commanders near Jenin to receive an update on the ongoing counterterrorism operation in the West Bank, his office says.
At the meeting, Gallant says all armed operatives aiming to harm Israelis will be caught, and whoever doesn’t surrender and fights will be “hurt or killed.”
“There are many who are trying to come close to us and harm us. You saw the terror attack in Tel Aviv not long ago, these are things that can happen anywhere. It happens everywhere in the State of Israel. And we aren’t hesitating,” he says, commending cooperation between security forces on the operation.
