During his visit to the Gush Etzion Brigade base with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Monday, Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon declared that reinforcements would be brought to the area to help maintain security.
Ya'alon noted there was a common thread to the radical Islamic ideology held by Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah and ISIS. "In this regard, we and the West are in the same boat. Those who try to isolate us or blame the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are simply mistaken."
