[IsraelTimes] Despite demonstrations, attacks across Israel and the territories, IDF projects calm against growing violence
| "Around the holidays, there is always an uptick," the army source said. "But we have seen that there are more stabilizing factors on the ground than destabilizing factors on the ground, that there are more things restraining than inciting." |
Despite multiple attacks on Israeli civilians in recent days and violent demonstrations by Paleostinians, the situation in the West Bank is "under control," an army official claimed Wednesday.
Following the fatal shooting of husband and wife Eitam and Naama Henkin last week, who were killed driving home from a holiday gathering while their children were in the backseat, the IDF quickly brought in additional troops to the West Bank. |
