Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Friday to launch a wide-scale offensive operation in the West Bank, following a visit to the site of an attack in the Hebron area earlier that morning. "We warned several weeks ago about attempts by our enemies to harm us, our citizens, and our soldiers on the eve of elections, and this is what they tried to do here," Netanyahu stated. He added that soldiers "confronted this with their bodies and were injured." The Prime Minister announced plans to "demolish this place and change it radically." He further elaborated on a new tactic, stating, "We will implement the successful offensive model we carried out in refugee camps, which are practically dens of terrorism. This is exactly what we will do here, inside the neighborhood from which the two terrorists emerged. We will evacuate the residents, go from house to house, find the weapons, and demolish all terrorist infrastructure." Netanyahu indicated this model might be expanded to other cities. He promised a large-scale military operation in the West Bank, unprecedented since the Six-Day War, asserting, "The army is ready to carry out this campaign, and we will determine the timing."
