Local Official: \u201cIncitement by Palestinian Authority Fuels Terror\u201d<\/strong>
\nYossi Dagan, head of the Samaria Regional Council, responded to the incident by blaming the Palestinian Authority\u2019s continued incitement:
\n\u201cThis morning\u2019s foiled attack is a direct result of the Palestinian Authority\u2019s ongoing incitement to violence. Operational responses alone aren\u2019t enough\u2014we must restore real deterrence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dagan urges a stronger stance from Israeli leadership:<\/strong>
\n\u201cI call on the Defense Minister and the Prime Minister to order the demolition of the terrorist\u2019s home tonight. That\u2019s the only language terrorists understand.\u201d He added, \u201cThe people of Israel are stronger than terrorism. The right response is to continue constructing, settling, and reclaiming sovereignty across Judea and Samaria.\u201d<\/p>\n

Background: A Site of Repeated Attacks<\/strong>
\nGitai Avisar Junction has seen multiple attacks over the years targeting both Israeli soldiers and civilians. The most recent deadly incident occurred in December 2024, when 46-year-old Samer Hussein from the village of Einabus opened fire at a bus waiting at the junction en route from Ariel to Tel Aviv. Nine people were wounded, three critically. Hussein, who had previously served time in Israeli prison, was shot and killed at the scene by IDF soldiers and an armed civilian.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
