The Israeli military announced on Thursday that it was deploying two additional battalions to the West Bank "in accordance with situation assessments".
The deployment, involving hundreds of troops, includes soldiers from infantry and special forces units.
The announcement coincided with the meeting of Israel's Security Cabinet to discuss further responses.
Earlier on Thursday, defence officials suspended tens of thousands of special permits given to Palestinians to visit Israel during the current Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
COGAT, an Israeli defence body, said 83,000 permits for Palestinians in the West Bank to visit relatives in Israel had been frozen.
Special Ramadan permits were also suspended for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to visit relatives in Israel, travel abroad and attend prayers at the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, COGAT said.
In addition, the military said it had frozen Israeli work permits for 204 of the attackers' relatives, and was preventing Palestinians from leaving and entering the West Bank village of Yatta, the attackers' home village.
COGAT said entering or leaving will only be permitted for humanitarian and medical cases.

In Tel Aviv, extra police units were mobilised, mainly around the city's central bus station and train stations, said police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld.
Most patrons fled in panic, though some fought back at the cafe at Sarona Market in Israel's commercial capital.
At one point, one of the attackers threw a handgun to the ground in frustration as two of the victims lay motionless on the terrace.
