Head of the Beit El local council, Shai Alon, said he witnessed the shooting attack in Huwara today. "The shooting took place right behind me. It was terrible - he was shooting from point blank range. You are surrounded on the right and left, there is no way out," he said.

"There is no way terrorists should be able to get their hands on weapons so easily and shoot freely from point blank range in broad daylight. This terrible attack shows once again that there is a complete lack of governance in Judea and Samaria and the threat to the Jewish residents of the region is more real than ever. We pray for our welfare and that security may be restored," stated Alon.
