Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved the building of 300 new housing units in the Jewish community of Dolev in Samaria following the terror attack that killed 17-year-old Rina Shnerb.

“We will deepen our roots and strike our enemies,” he said. “We will continue to strengthen and develop the settlements.”

In an official statement to the press, the prime minister ordered the approval of building 300 new housing units in a new neighborhood in Dolev.

Meanwhile, Israel’s Shin Bet security service threw cold water on reports on Monday that security forces had arrested the Palestinian perpetrators of the murder.

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh had praised the attack as “proof of the vitality and bravery of the Palestinian people, and of the fact that it will not surrender to the crimes and terrorism of the occupation.”

Israel’s Foreign Ministry condemned South Korean President Lee Jae Myung for comments that it said trivialized the Jewish genocide and spread false claims about Israeli forces.
Talks will focus on the implementation of U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza.
Israel “will continue to fight Iran’s terror regime and its proxies, unlike Erdogan,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Israeli premier told the country’s High Court that demands to remove the national security minister are unconstitutional.
The guidelines in the so-called “frontline areas” were also tightened to limit public gatherings to up to 50 people outdoors and 100 indoors.
The site contained over 110 pounds of explosive material and around 200 pipe bombs, according to the Israeli military.
