The head of the Samaria Regional Council, Yossi Dagan, congratulated the soldiers who neutralized the terrorist who tried to carry out an attack this evening (Thursday) at Gitai Junction in Samaria.
"This day could have ended completely differently. There was a hair's breadth between us and another family that would have been bereaved. We thank the heroic soldiers for their determined action that saved lives, but we cannot continue to rely on miracles."
"I call on the government to order the IDF to increase deterrence and to go immediately before it is too late for an offensive operation to destroy the terrorist infrastructure of the Palestinian Authority. The surgical operations carried out in the murderous Palestinian Authority are not enough. The time has come to step up and launch an offensive operation to eradicate terrorism," said Dagan.
