Netanyahu accuses Iran of orchestrating attacks in occupied West Bank
JERUSALEM (AA) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu squarely pointed the finger at Iran on Monday for a recent surge in armed assaults targeting Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank.
Accompanied by Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, Netanyahu visited the area where a shooting occurred in the southern West Bank city of Hebron which claimed the life of a settler and left another severely wounded.
“We are facing attacks that are being promoted, directed and financed by Iran and its extensions,” said Netanyahu, speaking at the site of the incident as Israeli forces continued their investigations.
“We are tirelessly working to apprehend the perpetrators,” he added.
Early on Monday, a settler was killed while another sustained serious injuries in an armed attack in Hebron.
The Israeli army wounded eight Palestinians with live bullets on Monday as they raided Palestinian cities and towns to catch the perpetrators of the Huwara attack.
On Aug. 19, two settlers were killed in an attack on the town of Huwara, which is located near the West Bank city of Nablus.
