Three people were injured Thursday morning by gunfire after shots were fired towards a bulletproof bus transporting students and two cars near the Palestinian Authority Arab village of Al-Auja in the Jericho area. The attack was perpetrated by Abu Rida al-Saadi, a PA security officer from Jenin. Magen David Adom reported that a 30-year-old man was seriously injured, and a young man and 13-year-old boy were lightly injured. Reportedly, the injured adults were “peace activists” in their newly acquired bus.
The Response from the Heads of the Land of Israel Lobby in the Knesset to the terror attack this morning:
“Promote Israeli Sovereignty over the Jordan Valley”
The terror attack this morning in the Jordan Valley is a painful reminder that the entire Land is a battlefront, and that our enemies seek to harm us in every place in the Land.
The State of Israel should have applied its sovereignty over the Jordan Valley a long time ago. But after this morning’s terror attack, promoting Israeli sovereignty over the Jordan Valley will also be a clear statement to our enemies during the war: The Land of Israel, in its entirety, belongs to the People of Israel.
