Defense Minister Israel Katz scheduled an "urgent" meeting to be held today with representatives from police, Shin Bet and Central Command to discuss attacks on IDF soldiers and security forces in Judea and Samaria. This was announced by the minister's office, where he stated: "This phenomenon must be immediately stopped. We will take all measures and uproot this violence - no one will dare raise a hand against IDF soldiers and security forces personnel." Meanwhile, Katz's predecessor - Yoav Gallant - stated that "there is a heavy price for prioritizing political considerations over security considerations."
