Har Hevron regional council head Yochai Damari responded to the ramming attack near Kiryat Arba.

Damari said that "after a period of calm we experienced today a ramming attack in a place where many incidents have occurred. In the last few months, the Judea brigade led by Itzik Cohen have been deployed in a broad defensive placement which has proved its effectiveness. I am certain that the army will know how to provide the right response to this incident as well."
