The head of the West Bank regional council where a stabbing attack reportedly happened today calls on the government to step up security measures in the area.

“We won’t accept a ‘trickle’ of terror incidents day after day,” Yossi Dagan says in a statement, adding Israeli residents of the West Bank are “no different from Israeli citizens in any other place.”

Earlier this week two Israelis were killed by a Palestinian coworker in a shooting attack at an industrial park in the area.

Dagan calls on the military to engage in “reprisal operations” following attacks on Israelis. He also says the government should step up the pace of settlement construction as a response to terrorism.
