Minister Bezalel Smotrich joined Civil Administration forces in the Hebron area to oversee the immediate demolition of structures following a fatal shooting attack that killed two IDF soldiers. Smotrich announced that unprecedentedly harsh measures would be taken against terrorism, stating that the demolitions were part of creating deterrence and exacting a price for the attack.

Smotrich, acting in his capacity as Minister of Defense, ordered extensive and immediate demolitions of illegal structures in coordination with the army and the Civil Administration. "We are here with the tools in the field, we are sending a clear message to our enemies. If you mess with us, we will exact very, very painful prices from you," he declared at the scene.

In response to the attack, Smotrich also announced the approval of four new settlement outposts in the southern Hebron region. He thanked the various field commanders, the Civil Administration, and its inspection unit for their work, particularly noting their efforts on a Friday.

Smotrich emphasized that this was only the beginning of exacting a price, vowing that many structures would be demolished by Saturday. He stated that an agreement had been reached with the Prime Minister and the Defense Minister to concentrate efforts on exacting a price and creating deterrence, asserting that "Jewish blood is not cheap."
