The head of the Binyamin Council, Yןsrael Gantz, commented on the thwarting of the attack at Havat Sde Ephraim, "Thank G-d, the attack ended without any casualties. The family acted with bravery, with their bare hands against an Arab terrorist who was raised and educated by the PA and its leaders to murder Jews."
"The State of Israel needs to strengthen its warriors' hands and its deterrence against the enemy. Havat Sde Ephraim is located in a magical place in western Binyamin and it will become even more established there with all the extensive settlement in western Binyamin," the council head added.
