Council head at scene of shooting: 'We are strong, we will deepen our roots’

Yisrael Ganz, head of the Binyamin Regional Council, spoke at the scene of a shooting attack in Binyamin hours before Yom Kippur. He stated that families with children were targeted at a spring and called for strengthening the Jewish presence in the region, saying 'We are strong, we will deepen our roots.' The attack occurred on September 20, 2026, and a separate report indicates a man wounded in the shooting was declared dead. Ganz's remarks frame the attack as a reason to reinforce settlement in the area. This report omits details about the attacker, casualties, and security response, focusing instead on the political call to action. The narrative uses emotional language and a defiant quote to evoke sympathy and resolve, embedding a political agenda within a news brief.
