On Friday, Israeli Premier Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered a “wide-scale military operation” in Palestinian villages across the West Bank following a deadly attack near the illegal Havat Gilad settlement that killed two Israeli soldiers and four Palestinians.
Palestinian sources reported that the violence was sparked as Israeli settlers attacked the town of Tell, which is close to the illegal settlement. Local and security sources said that the settlers opened live fire as Palestinians tried to protect their homes.
