Israeli forces under 'no restrictions' against Palestinian "terrorists"

There are no restrictions on the use of Israeli force against Palestinian terrorism suspects, Defense Minister Benny Gantz said on Monday, adding that the scale of the IDF's involvement in stifling terror is "dictated only by the operational need."

However, Israel is trying to distinguish between those who support and plan to carry out terror attacks to the broad Palestinian population, the defense minister stated.

"We try to differentiate between the population and the perpetrators of terrorism and between the different geographical environments," Gantz said. "Terrorist activity is prevalent in the Jenin area, which is why Jenin is under extensive operational activity, including a direct hit to its economy."
