Samaria Regional Council chairman Yossi Dagan, who arrived on the scene of the attack, said that security forces are investigating the incident.
“This is a very difficult incident. All motives are being checked. We, the residents of Samaria, will continue to be strong and sanctify life,” Dagan said.
