Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the premises of the attack and was seen on video speaking at the first speakers.

He warned that Israel “fights a war on several fronts”, notably Gaza, the West Bank and Israel. Netanyahu also praised the soldier who killed the attacker, who was of a newly formed unit for ultra-Orthodox soldiers.

The almost two -year war in Gaza sparked a wave of violence in the West Bank occupied by Israeli and Israel.

The soldiers of Israel calls the super target residential buildings, chosen because they say that they house Hamas infrastructure, that Hamas denies, and because they are large enough to send an undoubted message to civilians: go out, before the operation is developing.

The data from the UN humanitarian office indicate that at least 49 Israelis were killed by Palestinians in Israel or the West Bank between the start of the war and in July 2025. At that time, Israeli and civilians killed at least 968 Palestinians in Israel and West Bank.

Although there have been attacks dispersed in recent months in Israel, the last fatal attack on mass shooting took place in October 2024, when two Palestinians from the West Bank opened fire on a large boulevard and a light train station in the Tel Aviv region, killing seven people and leaving many other injured. The Hamas military wing claimed this attack.
