Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan has responded to the serious attack at the Givat Asaf Junction by saying, "We have finished keeping quiet, there is total security lawlessness here and we have responsibility for the public living here."
Dagan added, "Jewish blood is not to be abandoned. We are beginning a protest activity and we will strike the councils and the school system. We say 'Enough!' We will not be silent anymore."
