IDF Central Command chief Maj. Gen. Yehuda Fox said on Monday that Israel is facing a major terror wave, following a fatal drive-by shooting attack that left an Israeli woman dead near the West Bank city of Hebron.
"We are in a terror wave unlike anything we've seen in a long time," Fox told reporters at the military’s Judea Regional Brigade base near Hebron. "The IDF and security forces are operating daily to thwart acts of terror in villages, towns and refugee camps.
Most of the time, we succeed; however, today and this week have been challenging, and we were unsuccessful. We will pursue the enemies relentlessly, from Huwara, Hebron and everywhere else, and hold them accountable," he added, referring to an Israeli father and son who were gunned down and killed at a car wash in the Palestinian town of Huwara over the weekend.
