A military official who spoke with Walla!
He said that the IDF recognizes clear intentions of terrorists in Jenin and Nablus to carry out attacks in the West Bank. This, against the background of the deadly attack that occurred in Jerusalem on Friday evening, and the attack the next day, in the city of David, in which two Israelis were seriously-moderately wounded. This is alongside the increase in attempted attacks In
light of the increase in tensions, about a thousand additional fighters will man missions around the seam line to prevent terrorists from infiltrating Israel's rear and deep into the Iosh, around the settlements and on the axes.
The IDF's operations wing yesterday approved the transfer of two more companies for reinforcements in the West Bank. This, in addition to the three battalions that were deployed to the area starting Friday - the 101st battalion and the patrol battalion of the paratroopers, and the 17th battalion from the infantry vocational school.
"We are in critical days when incitement is rampant and therefore the effort is to curb the possibilities of terrorism inspired by the attacks in Jerusalem," said the military official.
"Also, we are not ignoring the attempted attack at Almog Junction, it could have ended completely differently in a way that would have stunned the entire area."

The number of Palestinians killed in the operations of the security forces in the West Bank during the operation to thwart terrorist attempts has reached 11.
Among them, a 61-year-old woman who is not involved in terrorism and ten other armed men.
In general, the number of Palestinians killed in the West Bank since the beginning of the year has reached 31.
According to security sources, it is clear that this figure will be presented to US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken during his visit to Israel.
However, it will be pointed out to him that most of the dead were armed, and a significant part were "ticking bombs", those who intended to carry out attacks.
