Defense Minister Yoav Galant commented on the security forces' activity today in Nablus (Shechem) and praised the fighters.
"The IDF, Shin Bet, and Yamam (National Counter Terror Unit) acted this morning with courage in the center of the Kasbah of Nablus against terrorists who planned to carry out an attack on Israeli territory, including one of the killers of the late fighter Ido Baruch. Every terrorist knows that the long hand of the security establishment will reach to him. We will pursue and catch up with our enemy."
