Former defense minister Moshe (Bogi) Ya'alon has drawn attention on Arab social media for stating that the attack near the West Bank village of Tell was not a terrorist attack but 'friction and Jewish terrorism.' The comments, reported on Saturday evening, contrast sharply with the official Israeli security establishment's classification of the incident as a terrorist shooting. Ya'alon, who served as defense minister and IDF chief of staff, has a history of making controversial statements regarding Israeli policy in the territories. The attack itself remains under investigation, with the IDF reinforcing its presence in the area.
