"When an enemy sees hesitation and doesn't pay a heavy price, he keeps going and grows stronger," said Binyamin Regional Council head Israel Ganz.
A wave of Palestinian terrorists targeting Israeli drivers across Judea and Samaria with rocks has surged since the May 14 murder of Tzeela Gez, Channel 14 News reported on Wednesday.
According to the broadcaster’s Judea and Samaria correspondent, Shirel Lalum-Nahir, stone-throwing terrorism has also been recorded in areas that were relatively quiet until the deadly shooting attack, including the Palestinian town of Al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya along Route 60 in Samaria.
“For one kilometer [0.6 miles], this road passes by the schools of the village, and the phenomenon of rock-throwing keeps happening again and again,” Lalum-Nahir said in the report. “We see it return after a period of calm, and residents really view this as a result of the attack.”
