Calls for more West Bank operations, deportations and death penalty in response to attack that killed six Israelis.

Israeli leaders have vowed retaliation in the wake of a deadly shooting in Jerusalem that left six dead on Monday. Israeli media reported six people were also wounded in the attack at the Ramot settlement junction, north of occupied Jerusalem, with two suffering serious injuries. Israeli Army Radio quoted the Shin Bet intelligence service as saying the perpetrators of the Jerusalem attack boarded a bus and opened fire. Speaking at the scene of the attack, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the killings would "strengthen" their resolve in the fight against "terrorism". "We are now engaged in pursuit and are cordoning off the villages from which the murderers came," he said. "We will apprehend whoever aided and dispatched them, and we will take even stronger steps." He added that attacks of this nature would lead to increased Israeli activity in the occupied West Bank and the expansion of their sovereignty there. “They only increase our determination to complete our missions, in Judea and Samaria too - everywhere,” he said, using the Israeli nationalist names for the West Bank. He also made an apparent reference to a recent High Court ruling that said Palestinian prisoners were entitled to food as part of their incarceration. "The government doesn't make it easy on our enemies, and you should act that way too," he said addressing the courts.
