Israeli army must attack ‘terrorists’ participating in Palestinian celebrations: Minister Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has instructed the army to prevent Palestinians in the occupied West Bank from celebrating during upcoming releases of prisoners as part of the Gaza exchange agreement with Hamas. “All measures must be taken to prevent the recurrence of celebrations and mass Palestinian marches in honour of the release of Palestinian terrorists to Judea and Samaria,” Katz was quoted as saying by Israeli media in a letter to military chief Herzi Halevi. “Judea and Samaria” is the name Israel uses for the West Bank. Katz said the army must attack any “armed Palestinian terrorist who participates in these marches”. The next such swap, in which Israeli captives are being exchanged for Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails, is set to take place on Saturday as part of a ceasefire that began on Sunday and has largely held so far. As we reported earlier, the Israeli government has emphasised that it intends to keep on fighting in the Gaza Strip and launch a new major military operation in the West Bank despite the ceasefire.
