Local settler leader blames government for shooting
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleYossi Dagan, the head of the Samaria Regional Council, where a shooting attack took place earlier Sunday, holds the government responsible for “tying the IDF’s hands and preventing it from defending [Israeli] civilians” in the West Bank.
In a statement, he claims that the attacks took place at a location where the army used to maintain a roadblock, and that the roadblock was removed “in order to not disrupt the routine of Arabs.”
He says the attack could have been prevented if the roadblock hadn’t been removed.
Reports say the victim, who has been hospitalized with light injuries, is a personal friend of Dagan.
