Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Tulkarm camp in the northern West Bank on Friday.

Netanyahu said in a video posted on his account on the "X" platform: "I ordered the launch of an additional military operation in the West Bank in response to the series of explosions on buses yesterday, and we have greatly intensified our operations and are entering the strongholds of "terrorism" and razing entire streets to the ground."

"Before Saturday, I came to the refugee camp in Tulkarm to be with our heroic soldiers. They are doing great work. In the past year, we have greatly increased our activity: we have entered terrorist strongholds, we have leveled entire streets used by terrorists, their homes, we have eliminated terrorists and leaders," he continued.

“We are doing very important work against the plans of Hamas and other terrorist elements to harm us. And these plans have not stopped. What we saw yesterday – the attempt to carry out mass serial attacks – is very serious,” Netanyahu said. “In response, and on my instructions and the instructions of the defense minister, we increased the forces in the West Bank, and I also ordered another military operation against terrorist centers. I know that our heroic soldiers know how to do this job well.”

On Thursday, Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yisrael Katz vowed to launch larger military operations in the occupied West Bank, following the bus bombings that took place in Tel Aviv on Thursday night.

The Prime Minister's Office said Netanyahu had ordered the army to carry out an intensive operation in the West Bank against what he called "terror hotbeds." Explosions occurred on Thursday evening, with three explosive devices detonating on buses in the city of Bat Yam, while another device was found in Holon before it exploded. No injuries were reported.

Israeli media reported that an explosive device was found at the scene with the words "Revenge for Tulkarm camp" written on it. However, the message written on the device could not be clearly verified.
