In a conversation with Arutz Sheva, Chabad emissary to Sri Lanka, Rabbi Roni Arad said, "We did not feel any kind of danger because we were in a building with a security company that we hired," during the terror attacks that hit the country.

Noting a lack of anti-Semitism, Rabbi Arad said, "There is no doubt that in the following events we will have to make sure there's more significant security."
