Amid rising tensions with the Palestinians, Prime Minister Netanyahu said he was sending thousands of additional police and soldiers into Jerusalem and West Bank areas in order to restore security for Israelis. He said Israel has added four battalions to the IDF deployment in Judea and Samaria and thousands of police in Jerusalem.

Four Israelis have been killed in terror attacks since Thursday. A five-man Hamas cell who killed a couple in the West Bank Thursday on night have been arrested, Israeli security officials announced on Monday.  Netanyahu added that there are no limits on Israeli security forces and Israel is not prepared to give immunity to anybody, not to rioters, or terrorists anywhere.
