Benjamin Netanyahu praises IDF troops for stopping wide-scale Hamas attack in West Bank

Without IDF soldiers stopping two Hamas terrorists on Friday morning, a major attack would likely have been made targeting civilians, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. "Our forces are operating with reinforcements to thwart terrorism and are carrying out extensive waves of arrests," Netanyahu also said. "We will pursue Hamas terrorists and those who sent them, wherever they are and at all times."After the attack, Netanyahu had announced that Likud events which had been scheduled for Friday morning would be canceled.
