Head of the Samaria Regional Council Yossi Dagan criticizes the government following the latest shooting in Huwara.

“The right-wing government has failed time after time to bring security to Israelis in the center of the country,” Dagan says in a statement.

He says “we will not accept a situation in which time after time [terrorists] target and attempt to murder Jews.”

Dagan demands “an immediate return of checkpoints to the heart of Samaria” and a widespread military operation in Palestinian towns to root out terrorists.

“We expect results from the government. We expect our national honor to be restored and we expect security.”
