Israeli military deploys extra battalions to the West Bank
We have been reporting on Israel's response to the suspected "terror" attack near Tel Aviv on Thursday.
Prime Minister Netanyahu has called for an "intensive" counter-terrorism operation in the occupied West Bank following the bus bombings.
The Israeli military has now announced that it has deployed three extra units to its "Central Command", which is responsible for Israeli forces in the West Bank.
"The [Israeli military] continues to conduct an ongoing situation assessment and prepares to expand offensive activity. The operation to thwart terrorism in northern Samaria continues at all times," it said, using a Hebrew name for the West Bank.
The Israeli military has already been carrying out a weeks-long,
large-scale assault on several areas of the West Bank, including refugee camps in Jenin, Tulkarem and Nur Shams.
