The United States on Friday condemned the terrorist shooting in Samaria on Thursday that claimed the life of Yehuda Dimentman, 25, and wounded two other Israelis.

In a Twitter post, U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price said, “We strongly condemn the terrorist attack today in the West Bank that killed an Israeli citizen and wounded two others”

“Our thoughts are with the victims of this attack and their families,” he added.

This report first appeared in Israel Hayom.

“Both bills are currently on the governor’s desk,” David Bocarsly, of Jewish California, told JNS.
The co-pilot reportedly sought to seize control of the Tel Aviv-bound plane and was subdued by crew members and passengers.
“Zionism is a lightning rod issue,” but “it’s also a fundamental part of Jewish identity, and most Jews in Montgomery County and beyond believe that Israel is a core part of their Jewish identity,” one signatory told JNS.
The Israeli envoy to the global body told JNS that the United Nations must confront antisemitism “with the same seriousness as every other form of racism.”
