Following Friday’s deadly ramming attack in Jerusalem, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said he had instructed police to prepare for a major operation in East Jerusalem starting Sunday, “to root our terror nests… and reach the terrorists at their homes.”

In his statement, the minister specifically called the operation he desired “Defensive Shield 2” — a reference to a major 2002 Israeli military campaign in the West Bank in response to numerous deadly terror attacks of the Second Intifada, in which forces entered Palestinian cities and carried out large-scale raids against terror groups.

It was not clear what such a police operation in East Jerusalem would entail. Any major security operation would require approval by the cabinet, and cannot be ordered by Ben Gvir alone.

In response, a senior government official was quoted in Hebrew media outlets saying “decisions of such a scale are not made in statements by one minister or another on a sidewalk at the scene of an attack.”

The official said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will decide on any operation only after conferring with the security establishment and after an orderly discussion in the cabinet. READ MORE
