Shomron Regional Council head Yossi Dagan congratulates the father who shot the terrorist and saved his daughter. "This is how we must act, with determination against those who seek to end our lives and deter us, without fear," he said.

Dagan added: "This incident illustrates the importance of completing the construction of the Huwwara Bypass Road as agreed with the Prime Minister: There's no reason for Israeli residents to pass through a hostile Arab population every morning and endanger their lives and the lives of their children, especially when the decision on construction has already been made, construction of the bypass road must be accelerated immediately."
