Defense Minister Israel Katz visits the scene of yesterday's deadly terror attack in the northern West Bank, saying it was an 'act of war' that will be answered in kind. Two elderly women and an off-duty cop were killed and at least eight other Israelis were wounded when Palestinian terrorists opened fire on vehicles in the Palestinian village of al-Funduq yesterday. Katz meets and thanks Ami Barber, a civilian who shot at the terrorists yesterday, causing them to flee and likely preventing more casualties. He also holds a situation assessment with senior officers and tells reporters he has ordered forces in the West Bank to be bolstered.
