Defense Minister Gallant placed four Jews in administrative detention following an escalation of violence in the West Bank.
These deaths bring the number of murders in Arab sectors up to 104 since the beginning of the year.
“There is a constant risk that events in the West Bank could spill over to Gaza,” UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Tor Wennesland told the Security Council on Tuesday.
Cohen said that the government of Israel “fully condemns events in which citizens take the law into their own hands.”
The defense minister told al-Sheikh that security forces will continue to eliminate terrorist threats wherever they may be.
Rocket fire, explosives targeting vehicles, and the need to use armed drones and helicopters, reflect a serious escalation.
The president condemned both the Eli terror attack and the subsequent riots as brutal, violent events.
