After the attempted lynching in Jenin: the new move by the Religious Zionism party

Following the attempted lynching of an Israeli family that mistakenly entered Jenin, the Religious Zionism party decided to place new directional signs in northern Samaria, with the aim of preventing navigation errors and making it easier for drivers to reach the communities and central routes in the area.

The signs were placed, among other places, in the area of Mevo Dotan, Emek Dotan, Homesh, and Sa-Nur, and guide travelers to the communities and main roads in northern Samaria. The party says the move is also intended to make the area more accessible to the general public and to strengthen the connection between visitors and the renewed settlement in northern Samaria.

The initiative comes after a mother and her son, residents of Samaria, mistakenly entered Jenin last week on their way to Afula. According to the mother's testimony, dozens of Palestinians surrounded their vehicle, threw stones at it, and tried to open the doors and stop the car. The two managed to escape unharmed, but the vehicle sustained heavy damage.

In the Religious Zionism party, led by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, they said that the incident highlighted for them the need for clearer signage in the area.

"Northern Samaria is a flourishing region with renewed settlement. The entire Israeli public is invited to come, travel, and visit without fear. We will not allow terror to dictate the roads," the party stated.

The party further stated that the goal of the initiative is to make the communities in northern Samaria more accessible and recognizable, and to encourage the movement of visitors in the area alongside the continued development of the settlement.
