Israel Will Respond to West Bank Terrorism

(Jerusalem Post) Matthew Gutman and Herb Keinon - Israel will respond to West Bank terrorism the same way it responds to terrorism emanating from Gaza, a senior official in the Prime Minister's Office said. "The terrorists are trying to establish new rules," the official said. "They are trying to turn the focus on Judea and Samaria, and maintain a semblance of quiet in Gaza. But it won't work. Our policy is that there will be no geographical difference in our response to terror." The official said the terrorist organizations were being assisted by outside forces such as Hizballah, Iran, and Syria. An official in the Prime Minister's Office said the terrorists who carried out the attack in Gush Etzion were believed to have come from Bethlehem, a city already under PA control. The official said that Israel had hoped the PA would assert its control after Israel removed some roadblocks in the West Bank, but this did not happen.
