The Israeli military chief issued a warning on Monday about the potential for 'significant operations' in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, chief of the general staff, emphasized the need for heightened defensive preparations in the Gaza Strip and readiness for operations in Judea and Samaria (West Bank) to prevent terrorists from targeting Israeli civilians.
Defense Minister Israel Katz echoed the sentiment during a recent visit to the West Bank, stating that those involved in terrorist activities would face consequences similar to those in Gaza.
