Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz visited the site of a shooting attack near the Yehuda Junction in the Hebron area on Friday. During their visit, they announced a series of stringent measures against terror infrastructure in the region, including a dramatic policy shift towards residential neighborhoods from which attackers have emerged.
Netanyahu stated that the IDF will enter a neighborhood in Hebron from which terrorists launched an attack, evacuate residents, conduct house-to-house searches, destroy all terror infrastructure, and confiscate weapons. He likened this approach to the successful offensive model used in refugee camps within cities. The Prime Minister added that alongside an existing closure on the cities of Hebron and Halhoul, the expansion of this model to other cities will be considered, and illegal structures along traffic routes will be cleared at an accelerated pace.
Netanyahu emphasized the high operational readiness of the IDF, noting that he and the Defense Minister witnessed a broad IDF operation in Judea and Samaria not seen since the Six-Day War, and that they are prepared to implement it at the opportune moment. He also sent a message of encouragement to settlers, declaring, "We will destroy the terror infrastructure and build the settlement infrastructure, over a hundred new settlements and farms that we are regulating."
Defense Minister Katz stated that Friday's attack proved prior warnings about intentions to destabilize security. He identified the Iranian Shiite axis, its proxies, and the Muslim Brotherhood axis as planning attacks against IDF soldiers and Israeli civilians to disrupt and influence upcoming elections. Katz asserted that IDF soldiers heroically thwarted a Hamas cell's attempt from Hebron to carry out a large-scale killing attack, and that the terrorists and their handlers will pay a heavy price.
Katz concluded with a clear statement: "We are determined to ensure the safety of Israeli residents in Judea and Samaria, and we will do so by all necessary means."
