My biggest fear and that of all the residents here is that it will become routine. I appeal to everyone who is involved in security to do whatever is necessary, [whether] it means closing [Palestinian] villages or shooting back at [the terrorists]. Miraculously, there have been no casualties. Don’t wait for our children to be harmed,” she said.Read After terror attack, IDF mulls new army division for Jordanian borderFor his part, Dagan demanded the government go on the offensive before it’s too late.“I was supposed to come meet this wonderful woman [Marom] to have coffee and talk about education—not see bullet holes in the window in the kitchen, where she and her daughters were supposed to have a quiet family dinner. These miracles may run out,” he said.While no group claimed responsibility for Monday’s attack, Palestinian Islamic Jihad has in the past claimed responsibility for similar attacks.Shaked is located some 10 kilometers (6 miles) from Jenin, a hotbed of Palestinian terrorism and the hub of PIJ’s activities in Judea and Samaria.The Israel Defense Forces has launched a manhunt for the shooters, who fled the scene.
