Israel’s National Security Minister Itmar Ben-Gvir has ordered police for preparation to launch “Operation Defensive Shield 2” referring to the extensive military operation in the West Bank.

Opposition leader MK Yair Lapid reacted to Ben-Gvir's plans on Twitter: "The Minister of TikTok and pita [bread] "ordered" to start the Defensive Shield 2 operation. No cabinet, no assessment of the situation, no coordination between the security forces. If it wasn't dangerous, it would be ridiculous. Just like him."
 
This came shortly after a Palestinian motorist was shot and killed after he slammed his car into a bus stop in Occupied Jerusalem.
 
Israeli police stormed the motorist's family house in Issawiya town and arrested four of his family members, including his wife.
 
Also the Israeli minister of war Yoav Gallant signed an order imposing economic sanctions on 87 Jerusalem residents who received financial aid from the Palestinian Authority.
