"Praying for their complete recovery soon," commented Religious Zionist Party Director-General Yehuda Vald.
ברברים. פייק עם. פראי אדם. התקיים בהם כבר "ידו בכל", הגיע הזמן שתקום כאן מערכת משפט מתוקנת שתקיים בהם "ויד כל בו". ענישה. הרתעה. משילות. ריבונות. https://t.co/nSsYraDsLG

“It’s time for a revised legal system to be established here,” Likud MK Shlomo Karhi tweeted, calling for “Punishment. Deterrence. Governance. Sovereignty.”
MDA medics also treated another man who was injured by stone-throwing near the Binyamin area. He was evacuated to Hadassah-University Medical Center, according to Ynet.
“The State of Israel is not up to a simple task,” Binyamin Regional Council head Israel Ganz said, according to Ynet. “The political echelon has decided to allow this to happen instead of cutting it off with an iron fist.”
“Jewish blood is spilled again and again in Samaria, and what does the country do? Gets people out of Homesh,”
said Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan. “This government loses the deterrence again and again, and it has to pull itself together. This government fails with security, fails the settlements, and we will change it.”
This is a developing story.
