Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has put Israel on high alert after the fourth terrorist attack in just over two weeks. At the same time, Secretary of Defense Benny Gantz announced on Friday that military operations in the occupied West Bank would be expanded. The terrorists would pay a “high price,” Gantz said.
