The Israel Police, together with Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan, halted construction of an illegal road in Samaria.

Arabs from the village Hares near Ariel were attempting to connect the village to the Revava-Yakir road. A complaint from residents reached Dagan and as a result he approached police and joined them when they arrived on scene.

The concern is that paving the road directly from a highway without a slowing lane in the middle of a curve and from a continuous separation line may endanger lives of travelers on the main road.

The council head explained, "Maintaining security and safety is our primary concern."

"We expect the relevant authorities to act decisively against Arab illegal construction in the region, which harms the normal fabric of life and allows takeover of state lands, step by step, piece by piece," he added.
