Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan visited Itamar Cohen at the hospital on Thursday evening, hours after Cohen was seriously wounded in a terror attack in Samaria. Dagan told Cohen: 'A severe attack – we will soon establish the settlement of Shalem near the site of the attack and add agriculture.' President Isaac Herzog called Dagan to express support for the residents of Samaria and Cohen's family. Cohen, a well-known agricultural pioneer and owner of 'Itamar's Farm,' was attacked earlier Thursday and is hospitalized in serious condition. Earlier in the day, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir wished Cohen a speedy recovery, praising his actions during the attack. Dagan's visit and pledge come amid ongoing efforts to strengthen Jewish settlement in the area.
