While at the scene of a deadly attack near Hebron on Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that Iran is behind the ongoing terror wave in Judea and Samaria.
“We are in the middle of a terror wave that is being pushed, orchestrated, and funded by Iran and its proxies,” Netanyahu said.
He pointed to a harrowing terror attack earlier in the day in which Palestinian terrorists intercepted an Israeli vehicle near Beit Hagai Junction on Route 60, firing over 20 shots at it, resulting in the death of 40-year-old Batsheva Nigri and leaving Aryeh Gottlieb, the 39-year-old driver, critically wounded. Nigri’s six-year-old daughter watched the scene from the back seat of the car but remained unharmed.
“We will track down the attackers and also implement further measures to guarantee the safety of Israel’s citizens and ensure that the culprits face consequences,” he vowed.
“We’ll intensify our offensive and defensive tactics to hold the terrorists accountable, as well as those who dispatch them, whether they are near or far,” he said.
Highlighting the importance of solidarity, the prime minister added, “I stand by all our commanders and troops who are tirelessly working to protect us. It’s crucial that we all support them.”
