Latest wave of terrorism can be contained, Israeli defense officials say

Israel: Israeli defense officials said over the weekend that the ‎latest wave of terrorist attacks can probably be ‎contained, and that while ‎copycat drive-by shooting attacks are a matter of ‎concern, it is unlikely they will spread outside ‎West Bank. ‎

Meanwhile, the hunt ‎for the terrorists who carried out ‎the shooting attack that killed two Israeli soldiers in Givat Asaf on Thursday continued ‎on Sunday.

‎”It’s only a matter of time before we get our hands ‎on the cell’s members,” one IDF officer said.‎

The recent spate of terrorist attacks has prompted ‎the IDF to increase deployment across West Bank, setting up 120 roadblocks in the area. Dozens of Hamas members suspected of terrorist ‎activity were arrested across the West Bank over the ‎weekend, the IDF said. ‎
