Elad mayor vows more West Bank construction after Salomon slayings
Yisrael Porush, mayor of the town of Elad, the hometown of Elad Salomon who was murdered in Friday’s terror attack, promises to respond to the attack with increased West Bank construction.
“We in Elad will be here for the family. We will be with you but we will also not let this pass without a response. We will double and triple the size of Elad,” Porush tells thousands of mourners at the funeral.
