Eyal Tzipori, a driver for the Afikim company and a member of the bus drivers' organization from the Histadrut who was attacked at night and whose bus was burned, responded following the incident: "Right now I am not driving at all. I want to rest."

"I went through difficult trauma and I have no desire to serve the passengers in Bnei Brak. It is an attack in every respect. Like a nationalist attack. I was in complete shock. I do not know why this is happening within our people," the driver said.
