Settlements woefully undefended, says Samaria Council leader

Ahead of a security cabinet meeting this evening, in the wake of the Friday terror attack in Halamish, Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan issues a report arguing that West Bank settlements are woefully under-protected.

The report describes a “lack of fences, electronic devices, security roads, lighting, and a dearth of positions for security officials in settlements,” according to a press statement by Dagan.

The report, issued by the Samaria Regional Council, finds insufficient defenses in dozens of settlements and suggests some NIS 40 million are needed to correct the lack.
