The deputy mayor of Ma’ale Adumim says the West Bank settlement city will bar the entry of Palestinian workers until further notice, following the terror attack today.

“At the moment there is no entry of workers into the city until further notice. All construction sites in the city were immediately evacuated,” Guy Yifrah says in a statement.

According to the Shin Bet security agency, the terrorist had a permit to work in West Bank settlements, but not in Israel proper.

The terrorist had worked as a cleaner at a local community center in Ma’ale Adumim.
