Speaking from the Chevron area, Netanyahu declared that the IDF will launch a broader operation against terror in Judea and Samaria than any previous action. The prime minister said the model used to evacuate residents from refugee camps and systematically clear them of terror infrastructure will now be applied to Arab cities throughout Judea and Samaria as well.
The announcement follows the shooting attack on Route 35 near Tzomet Yehuda earlier today, in which terrorists opened fire on Israeli vehicles, critically wounding two Israelis and wounding three others.
