Last week, Israeli security services announced that they prevented a suicide attack on a bus in Jerusalem, arresting members of a terrorist cell made up of Fatah and Hamas operatives late last year.
Also last week, a Palestinian terrorist killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded eight others in a shooting attack after infiltrating a military outpost.
Meanwhile, Israeli media reported that over the past month, Israel has thwarted 90 major Palestinian terrorist attacks as Israel's counterterror operation in the West Bank, Operation Iron Wall, continues into its third week of operation.
So far, around 50 terrorists have been killed, and more than 100 wanted suspects arrested.
An Israeli security official has said that Iran is supplying weapons and financial aid to Palestinian terrorists, dramatically escalating the threat posed to Israelis.
We must continue working with Congress to increase the pressure on the Iran and its terrorist proxies to help our ally Israel counter this growing threat.
