Ariel Mayor Eliyahu Shviro responded to the stabbing attack at the industrial zone near the city and said that “A deplorable murderer attempted to harm the special bond between Palestinian Arabs and Jews at our industrial zone. To my dismay, the terrorist succeeded in wounding two security guards who acted with bravery and I wish them a speedy recovery.”

“We are studying the event and are examining whether the terrorist worked in the industrial zone or was someone who came from the outside. We want to maintain regular life, even in the industrial zone, and we do not want to rewards terrorism.”
