Avi Ro'eh, head of the Binyamin Regional Council, commented on Friday afternoon on the stabbing attack in which a 40-year-old Jew was seriously wounded.
"We are in the midst of a wave of terror that strikes throughout the country. The whole area is functioning according to emergency procedures and the army and security forces are sending many troops to protect the residents. We will continue to raise our heads and stand firm against those who try to harm us. I send wishes of a quick recovery to the wounded and strengthen the residents and security forces," he said.
