Yaron Rosenthal, head of the Gush Etzion Regional Council, addressed yesterday's attack in which Aharon Cohen was murdered in an interview with ynet studio, saying that "there was no warning for this, it's difficult to chase after all the flies. It's much better to dry up the swamp. It's even better to cancel the pipe that leads water to the swamp." According to him, "The only way to significantly reduce the number of attacks is to have a very heavy price tag for each such attack. The family should be deported to Gaza, the houses should be demolished." Regarding settler violence in Judea and Samaria, he said, "We call on the state to deal with those hooligans. It's not related."
