Benjamin Netanyahu vows ‘strong and swift’ response to series of deadly terror attacks in Israel

Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed a “strong and swift” response to a series of deadly terror attacks in Israel after police arrested 42 people over the Holocaust Day synagogue shooting.

The Israeli army sent more troops into the occupied West Bank a day after a Palestinian gunman shot dead seven people outside Jerusalem and another shooting attack in the city on Saturday wounded two people.

The attacks came towards the end of a month of escalating confrontation and following an Israeli incursion into the West Bank that killed nine Palestinians, including seven gunmen, and cross-border fire between Israel and Gaza.
