Rahat Mayor Talal al-Krenawi pays a visit to Shlomit Gonen, the Jewish Israeli woman stabbed and wounded in an attack at the Rahat market yesterday.

“Shlomit’s stabbing was a stabbing of every Rahat resident,” al-Krenawi says, according to Walla. “Every educational institution in Rahat this morning spoke out against violence. Some of the schools also visited her.

“The terror attack damaged the fabric of our lives,” he adds. “This was not a resident of Rahat, but an illegal alien. I have the information from the CCTV cameras, and we can say with certainty that he was not a local resident. I believe that the police will get to him very soon.”
