Central Command Chief Maj. Gen. Avi Bluth met with community leaders and rabbis from the Benjamin Regional Council. Bluth presented a significant decrease in the scope of attacks over the past year and warned that the phenomenon of nationalist crime incidents in Judea and Samaria is 'not only illegal and immoral – it actually harms security and endangers lives.' The command chief cautioned that 'we are one step away from far more serious incidents. These things can end in disaster.'
