Defense Minister Yoav Gallant visits the Ephraim Regional Brigade, which operates around Tulkarm and Qalqilya in the West Bank, and holds an assessment with top commanders, his office says.

In a statement, Gallant says that due to military operations weakening Iran’s proxies Hezbollah and Hamas, the Islamic Republic is now “looking for additional routes for terror, and are pouring everything they can into Judea and Samaria,” referring to efforts by Tehran to arm terrorists in the West Bank.
