Stone Throwing = Attempted Murder: If you try to kill us, we will kill you first
Four 'Palestinian' 'youths' poured oil onto Route 443 on a steep downhill stretch early this morning, and then threw stones and firebombs at passing cars. The cars, although damaged (see above), managed to make it to the Maccabim checkpoint near Modiin and tip off the IDF. The IDF confronted the stone throwers, killing one, critically wounding another, and arresting the other two.
Two tourists and one Israeli were lightly wounded Tuesday morning after a group of Palestinians threw stones at their vehicle on Route 443, near the West Bank village of Beit Sira and the Israeli city of Modi'in.
Israeli forces at the scene shot dead one of the alleged Palestinian stone-throwers and critically wounded another. The wounded assailant has been taken to Hadassah University Hospital, Ein Karem. Two additional Palestinians suspected of involvement in the incident were arrested.
It goes without saying that the 'Palestinian Authority' is telling a different story. A bunch of lies.
The Palestinian Authority identified the slain Palestinian as Mahmoud Rafat Mahmoud, a 15-year-old from the village of Beir Ur al-Tahta, west of Ramallah. Abdul Karim Kassem, head of the village's local council of the Palestinian village of Beit Ore-Tahta, told Reuters that the wounded Palestinians were in a car "returning from a pool in a village near us when they came under fire."
According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, four Palestinians were wounded by Israeli fire, three of them seriously. Three of the wounded Palestinians were taken to a medical center in Ramallah, while the other remains hospitalized at Ein Karem. Two of the wounded are brothers, according to sources in the village.
The car with the windows blown out kind of puts the lie to the 'Palestinians' story.
Route 443, which I have discussed many times on this blog, is a back road that runs between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. The main road, Route 1, is currently under construction (widening) and the result is that a lot more people are using Route 443 at night. The tourists may have been on their way to the airport - many people use the road during the night to get to the airport, where one of the busiest times of day is between 5:00 and 6:00 am.
I generally use that road myself to get to and from the airport. I also use it to get to the Modiin region. I was last on it around Midnight on Sunday night.
Beir Ur al-Tahta is toward the bottom of a very steep downhill, a kilometer or two away from the Maccabim checkpoint. It sounds like the stones were thrown on the side heading toward the airport and Tel Aviv. Here's another picture that makes that clearer.
Glad no one hesitated to open fire on these terrorists.
Malaysian wants to come to Israel to defend Adele Biton's murderers
Many of you may not have seen the picture above. It is the car in which Adele Biton HY"D (May God Avenge her blood), aged 3 at the time, sustained the injuries from which she ultimately died. Perhaps you remember Adele:
The terrorists are being tried in an Israeli military court - they were 16-years old at the time of the incident and that's an age at which in many countries violent criminals are charged as adults. What they were throwing were not the small rocks that come to mind when you say 'stones.' They were cinderblocks. These 'youths' clearly deserve to have the full weight of the law thrown at them if they are guilty.
You might recall that the 'Palestinians' are running a campaign to free the terrorists, referring to the incident as the 'Wadi'a Maswadah Hoax.' Now, that campaign has spread to Malaysia, the world's largest Muslim country, which is hostile enough to Israel that its citizens may not use their Malaysian passports to visit Israel (Hat Tip: Slim S).
Currently, the IWPS* team accompanies the trial and legal proceedings of
five Palestinian boys from Hares, who are being tried before an Israeli
military court for charges of attempted murder for throwing stones.
**
The narrative began on Thursday March 14, 2013, when a car crashed at
around 6.30pm into the back of a truck on Road 5 in Salfit, injuring the
driver and her three daughters.
The driver claimed that the accident was due to Palestinian youths
throwing stones at her car. Aside from the two drivers and the three
daughters, there were no other witnesses to the car accident nor had
anybody witnessed children or youth throwing stones on that day.
By very early morning of Friday, masked Israeli soldiers with attack
dogs had stormed the village of Hares and arrested ten boys, blindfolded
and handcuffed.
In the next few days to the following week, several more adolescents
were arrested, totalling 19 from the villages of Hares and Kife Hares
(neighbouring villages) arrested in relation to the settler car
accident, none of them with a previous history of stone-throwing.
After several violent interrogations, most were released except for
five Hares boys – aged between 16 and 17 – who remain until today in
Megiddo, an Israeli adult prison.
They are charged with 20 counts of attempted murder (one count per
every alleged stone thrown at passing cars), a charge that carries a
maximum punishment of twenty years to life imprisonment.
...
Reading the invitation to join the IWPS team, to have the privilege to
accompany the process and to independently witness the case and judge
for myself how the system of justice is applied in Israel and occupied
Palestine, all these thoughts came to mind.
I do not know if I could accept the invitation (to enter the area would
mean first crossing into the Israeli border – a place into which the
Malaysian passport officially prohibits entry). But at the very least,
for now, I have the power of sharing their narrative. – November 3,

This is how the international Left operates. Note that there is no mention of the fact that Baby Adele (who is in any event nameless in the post) died. If Israel were randomly arresting 'Palestinians' who had no connection to the incident, why were most of them released? The woman accuses the IDF of gathering witnesses through 'wide publicity.' But Highway 5 is a major highway that runs to the coast, and there must have been witnesses who saw what happened, and who would testify without anyone 'gathering' them. On what basis does this woman who has never even seen Israel accuse the IDF of fabricating witnesses?
It seems non-stop although this is the first recent one outside Jerusalem. This morning, a 'Palestinian' woman stabbed an Israeli man in the back near the Western Wall plaza. He too was shot, and both were taken to Hadassah Ein Karem hospital (only in Israel). Here's my critique of how Maan reported that story (I can tweet from my phone, hence there are a lot more tweets than posts):
And here's Josh Hasten describing the first attack of the morning in which seven cars were damaged and at least one person was hurt by stone throwers on the Tekoa - Har Homa road.
Let's go to the videotape.
The terrorists tried to pull a woman from her car, but she escaped, and was taken to the hospital, lightly wounded.
UPDATE 1:57 PM
Here's video of the Kiryat Gat terrorist being chased down and shot.
Let's go to the videotape.

The car in the picture is not the car in the story.
There was another terror attack on a family in Israel on Thursday. You didn't hear about it because this family survived. Here's their story (Hat Tip: Mrs. Carl).
And then we drove home to Tekoa, about a 10
minute drive away. Part of the road trails through a Palestinian
village, and as we entered we saw dozens and dozens of Palestinian kids
walking home from school, wearing their uniforms and backpacks. I warned
my husband to drive carefully, g-d forbid he should accidentally hit
someone, as they were walking on the edge and straying into the road. He
drove slower.
And then suddenly there was a loud boom. And
another, and another, and then another. And I couldn’t see a thing, and I
heard my children screaming, the baby crying, I looked out my window
and saw the Palestinian children, and then an Israeli soldier. I fumbled
for my cell phone, following the protocol I had been taught but never
had to use.
I called for help. I heard my voice shaking as
I tried to explain where we were, what had happened, and as I did my
car’s windscreen finally came into focus, it was smashed, my legs and
arms were covered in glass, my knee was burning where a shard of glass
was stuck inside my skin. And then I dropped the phone, suddenly
remembering my children, ohmigod my children, the baby! I climbed out of
my seat to look behind me as my husband continued driving away as fast
as he could.
They were screaming, my 3-year-old was crying
hysterically, my 6-year-old was yelling “what happened mommy, what
happened!” over and over again. And the baby, was crying, screaming, oh,
he’s such a good baby and he never cries, and then I saw he was covered
in millions of tiny pieces of glass. The entire back windshield of the
car had smashed in, there was glass everywhere, all over my children,
all over my baby. In his hair, on his face, on his little onesie. I
gently tried to shake the glass off him as my hands trembled, “drive
faster, quickly, quickly, we have to check the baby,” I cried to my
husband, who had somehow not lost control of the car during the attack.
And then forever passed, but it was only
minutes, and we had reached the entrance to Tekoa, and security
surrounded us. I grabbed my kids out of the car and held the baby up, I
brushed him off, I analyzed his face, he was okay, thank god he was
okay, they were all okay. My son was screaming that I was bleeding, and I
saw the glass in my knee and a trail of blood down my leg but felt
nothing but relief.
It’s in the news all the time. Rock throwing.
It seems trivial. But it wasn’t rocks. It wasn’t pebbles. It was giant
blocks of stone, the rectangular kind that are used to build houses. And
it can kill. Rocks, stones, guns, are all the same. They are weapons.
They are violence. They are tools to commit murder.
There are attacks like this in Israel (mostly in Judea and Samaria) on an almost daily basis. This family was 'lucky' that they escaped relatively unhurt and that they were 'only' attacked with stones and not guns.
Four 'Palestinian' teens arrested for fatal Rosh HaShanna rock attack
Four 'Palestinians' have been arrested for carrying out a rock attack on the first night of Rosh HaShanna in which a 64-year old man was murdered and his two daughters seriously wounded.
An investigation determined the rock was thrown by youths from the
neighboring Arab village of Sur Bahir. In a joint statement with the
Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), police said on Saturday that the
four suspects from the neighborhood confessed to carrying out the
deadly attack shortly after their arrests.
“During interrogation
by the Shin Bet, the four admitted that they planned to carry out
terrorist acts, especially on Rosh Hashanah, and positioned themselves
so that they could throw stones at passing Israeli vehicles,” police
said.
The four suspects, police added, are between the ages of
16-19, and have Israeli residential status. Three of the four suspects
have been identified as Mohammed Abu Salah, born in 1997; Fares Mostafa
Walid Atrash, born in 1997; Mahmoud Abed Rabbo Doiat, born in 1996. The
identity of the fourth suspect was barred from publication due to his
age, police said.
Doiat, who confessed to throwing the large
rock that killed Levlovitz, said he wore a Hamas flag which he received
earlier in the month at a “Al-Aksa Is in Danger” demonstration
condemning the Ministry of Defense’s ban of two radical Muslim groups
from the Temple Mount. The rally was organized by Hamas and the Islamic
Movement, according to security forces.
Levlovitz was
critically wounded after striking a tree upon losing control of the car.
His two daughters were also seriously wounded.
Police said that after observing the crash, the four suspects fled the scene, and subsequently met again to coordinate their alibis if arrested. Despite their arrests, police said that the investigation into the attack is ongoing, and that the Jerusalem District Attorney will file formal charges against the four upon reviewing the evidence against them.
This was the attack in which the New York Times' Diaa Hadid reported that rocks pelted the road and Levlovitz just happened to be there.
A Jewish man died early Monday morning after attackers pelted the road
he was driving on with rocks as he was returning home from a dinner
celebrating Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, the Israeli authorities
said.
Can't wait to see how the Slimes reports the arrests.
Shirley Temper 'rescues' her brother from the IDF, Papa is proud
Do you all remember Shirley Temper (real name Ahed Tamimi, and yes, from that Tamimi clan)? On Friday, Shirley and her mother attacked yet another IDF soldier to prevent them from arresting her little brother for throwing stones at soldiers.
The opening shots show a partially-masked soldier with a rifle in his
hand running after the boy, Muhammad Tamimi, across an empty brown
hillside filled with rocks and a few scattered olive trees.
The
soldier catches Muhammad from behind and places him in a choke-hold.
Muhammad screams and begins crying. The soldier pushes Muhammad onto a
rock and lies on top of him, as a young female activist with a gas mask
in one hand tries to pull the boy away.
The soldier pushes her back and tells her to leave the boy alone. Muhammad’s left arm can be seen in a cast.
The
soldier calls out for reinforcements as he holds one arm around the
boy’s neck and keeps his other hand on his gun. Within a minute,
Muhammad’s sister, Ahed, 14, and mother arrive, along with other women
and children.
Screaming, they hit the soldier, unmask him, and
try to pull the boy away. They succeed just as a second soldier arrives.
One of them throws a stun grenade at the Palestinians. Both soldiers,
however, walk away without arresting Muhammad.
The IDF said the
incident occurred during violent clashes between its soldiers and
Palestinians in which rocks were thrown at security forces. It said that
an attempt was made to arrest Muhammad after he was identified as one
of the stone throwers.
The IDF said that during the execution of
the arrest, a number of Palestinians, including women and children,
acted in a violent and provocative manner. It said that a commander
decided not to carry out the arrest as a result of this.
"We have the right to resist. Our children are doing their duty and must be strong," Bassem Tamimi told The Jerusalem Post,
when asked how he feels about his children's participation in West Bank
protests against soldiers. He noted, however, that they are not against
the soldiers, but against the occupation.
...
"There is no safe place to be," he tells the Post, making no
distinction between soldiers, settlers or Jewish extremists . "Because a
lot of time they target houses, and there is fire on the houses." He
gives the example of the Dawabshe family who were the victims of an arson attack
on their home in Duma in July, which killed a Palestinian toddler and
his father. The attack was allegedly perpetrated by Jewish terrorists.
It's actually far more likely that the attack was perpetrated by a rival 'Palestinian' clan but because our government is afraid to come out and say it, so is everyone else and we continue to be slandered.
Responding to comments made by right-wing Israeli politicians and
activists on the heels of Friday's incident, that IDF soldiers should
open fire immediately if they are attacked, Bassem Tamimi claims that it
makes no difference if they are attacked or not: "they will open fire
anyway," he asserts.
It's come to this: Dutch government worried about terrorists'violent Jewish settlers'
The Dutch government is warning its citizens who travel in Judea and Samaria to be wary of 'Palestinian' terrorism 'violent Jewish settlers.'
The travel warning was placed online last month on the website of the Dutch central government for the Palestinian Territories.
“There are security risks for traveling all over the West Bank
including east Jerusalem,” the warning reads. “Be alert when traveling
there. Demonstrations and violent incidents occur regularly. Jewish
colonists live in illegal West Bank settlements and organize
demonstrations regularly around and on the road. These colonists are
sometimes violent. At times, these colonists throw stones at
Palestinians and international vehicles so be alert when traveling
around settlements of Jewish colonists, especially in the hills around
Nablus and Hebron.”
In referencing violence by Palestinians, the text states:
“Palestinians demonstrate regularly against occupation in various
places,” adding that “these demonstrations sometimes involve violence.
There are always Israeli soldiers present during demonstrations. Avoid
demonstrations. Recently, there have been violent incidents in the
border area between east and west Jerusalem. They are aimed at Israelis.
Be alert in those areas and avoid public transportation.”
The warning also applies to the Gaza Strip, where Dutch nationals are
advised not to go due to risk of being shot in fights between various
Islamist groups. “In addition, there exists a risk of becoming a victim
of an Israeli aerial attack,” the warning adds.
Trying to recall the last time anyone died as a result of 'violentJewishsettlers' throwing stones. (Hint: There haven't been any).
Baruch Dayan HaEmet (Blessed is the True Judge): Baby Adele is no more (May God Avenge her blood)
I am saddened to report that Baby Adele - Adele Biton - passed away this evening as a result of injuries sustained in a terror attack (one of those 'harmless,' 'non-violent' projectiles thrown at passing Israeli motorists by 'Palestinian children') nearly two years ago. Adele was four years old.
Adelle Biton, the four-year-old child who was critically injured in a
stone-throwing incident near the settlement of Ariel two years ago,
died in Petach Tikva’s Schneider Hospital on Tuesday evening from
complications following a lung infection.
Biton and her family were driving from their home
in the settlement of Yakir to the center of Israel in March 2013 when a
stone thrown at the vehicle caused it to go out of control and crash
into a truck that was parked at the side of the road – also due to
stone-throwing.
Her mother and two sisters were moderately injured
in the attack, but Biton was taken to Schneider Hospital in critical
condition with a serious head wound, and never fully recovered.
From Schneider, Biton was relocated to the
Levenstein rehabilitation center and in September last year she was
released to home care.
Biton began coughing earlier this week and was diagnosed with a lung infection. Her condition deteriorated quickly.
...
Five youths from the neighboring village of Kif el-Hares were indicted
for throwing the stones that struck the Biton car. Their case is
currently being heard in a military court.
May Baby Adele be a melitzat yosher (an honest supplicant) for her family and friends.
May her family be comforted among all mourners for Zion and Jerusalem, and know of no more sorrow.
Can you imagine what would happen if an Israeli consulate in the US did this?
On Friday, US consulate personnel from 'east' Jerusalem showed up at the Israeli encampment in Samaria known as Adei Ad to 'investigate' the alleged uprooting of trees by local residents. The consulate personnel were accompanying 'Palestinians.' They did not coordinate their visit with the Israeli security forces (as is the accepted protocol) and when the residents started throwing stones at them, at least one consulate security guard pulled a shotgun and an M-16 rifle.
An Israeli police spokeswoman said the delegation arrived at Adei Ad in U.S. diplomatic cars without first having coordinated the visit with Israeli authorities. She said the purpose of the trip was to inspect nearby trees that had been uprooted in what their Palestinian owners suspect was vandalism by Jewish settlers.
"Rocks were thrown at them by residents of Adei Ad. We are investigating. Arrests have yet to be made," the spokeswoman said. She said she did not know of any damage to the vehicles and had no further information on the delegates' identities.
An Adei Ad resident who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity said that he had not witnessed the incident but had been told by fellow settlers who were involved that the U.S. delegates came within 50 yards (metres) of the settlement in two diplomatic cars accompanied by local Palestinians.
The resident said several settlers went out to confront the group. He declined to confirm or deny that the settlers threw stones, but said two armed diplomatic guards briefly emerged from the cars.
"One had a pistol, the other an M-16, and they pointed them at the settlers," the resident said.
Asked about this account, the Israeli police spokeswoman said: "We have no indication that anyone in the U.S. delegation brandished weapons."
Can you imagine if the Israeli embassy sent someone to investigate alleged vandalism (against Israeli citizens - here the 'Palestinians' may not have been American citizens) in the US? Everyone involved would be immediately declared persona non grata. And that's exactly what the revenants would like to see happen.
Acting Head of the Samaria Regional Council, Yossi Dagan, has filed a
request to the Minister of the Interior Gilad Erdan demanding he
immediately expel the American Consulate staff members who entered the
Samaria village of Adei Ad Friday and threatened Israeli Jews with an M-16.
"As revealed through Wikileaks few years ago, these supposed
'officials' are intelligence agents and spies in every respect," said
Dagan, adding "this time, they went too far and participated in a
provocative tour with the Palestinians in the southern
Samaria and north Binyamin, without any coordination as required with
the IDF and police, and pulled out a firearm and threatened Israeli
civilians."
"This is a crossing of all red lines," he continued. "This event
could have descended easily into bloodshed and only as a result of the
settlers' responsible behavior was [a scenario like that] prevented."
"I request that in view of the serious and criminal conduct, that
these [US] security guards and officials be deported," he added.
"If Israeli intelligence officials and armed Israeli security
guards stationed in one of the Israeli consulates in the United States
had participated in a political provocation without any coordination
with the police and threatened American citizens with weapons, at best,
they would be arrested and deported, and the more likely case would be
them spending several years in federal prison."
Indeed they would. The hostility of the 'east' Jerusalem consulate to Israel is well-known and this is not the first incident involving consulate personnel overstepping their bounds. It will be interesting to see what is said at the State Department briefing on Monday about this incident (there has not been a briefing since last Tuesday). But if the US makes a fuss out of this, Israel should push back hard.
Unfortunately, stones are thrown at cars every day in and around Jerusalem. And it's considered 'non-violent.' Just ask the United Nations, the European Union or the Obama administration. Doesn't look non-violent to me.
Video: Israel police arrest 15-year old 'Palestinians' for throwing stones at cars
Imagine if you were driving one of the cars in this video.
Here's a video of Israeli police arresting four 15-year old 'Palestinians' who were on a footbridge throwing stones outside their school in Beit Hanina - a neighborhood in Jerusalem.
The cars (and buses) at which they were throwing the stones are headed for Pisgat Zev and Neve Yaakov, which are also neighborhoods in Jerusalem.
This is about a five-minute drive from my home, and yes, I have driven this road dozens of times.
Let's go to the videotape.
For the record, one car and one bus were damaged and the 'children' confessed. Maybe their parents should be spending some time in jail too?
It's come to this: IDF soldiers need permission from 'legal adviser' to defend themselves when their lives are endangered
I used to wonder why Shakespeare wrote that the first thing we do is 'kill all the lawyers.' I think I'm beginning to find the answer. We have now reached the point where IDF soldiers whose lives are endangered need permission from a 'legal adviser' to defend themselves. At least they have gotten it. Sort of....
The Legal Advisor for the IDF's Judea and Samaria Division,
Colonel Doron Ben Barak, has given soldiers permission to use live fire
against rioters who attack them with fireworks, if the fireworks
endanger their lives.
"There are circumstances in which aiming a firework directly at a
soldier from close range may create a real and immediate danger to his
life, efficient defense against which may certainly require opening live
fire against the person who fired the fireworks,” determined the
advisor.
Even when there is no direct danger to the soldiers' life – when he
is inside a pillbox position or when the fireworks are not aimed
directly at him – he may, from now on, carry out the Procedure for
Arresting a Suspect. This involves shouting out a warning, firing in the
air and then firing at the suspect.
According to IDF weekly Bamahane, the decision reflects a
change in the IDF's attitude toward fireworks, which were treated as
being in the same weapon category as rocks until now.
Yeah, and after all rocks don't endanger anyone, do they?
66-year old Reva Schertzman hit the gas while driving home to Beitar Ilit from Jerusalem on Sunday afternoon, and because of that she's alive today.
"I saw a lot... about 40 of them... and I thought, 'oh no, I'm in trouble'."
With cars behind her and unable to turn around, Riva said her only
option was to put her foot on the gas and drive as fast as she could.
She sounded her horn in a desperate attempt to alert other drivers to
the ambush - and then was herself subjected to "the most terrifying
experience I have ever been through."
"I just took my hand and covered my head and just rode, ducking, with my hand on my head.
"The sensation was like... it was literally like a rain of rocks.
Pieces of construction material - big rocks, even bricks," she recalled.
"There must have been 20 rocks bouncing off my car. I have never
experienced such a terrifying moment like that... I was fortunate that
they didn't block the road as well or God knows I wouldn't be talking to
you now."
Her car suffered severe damage but - though shaken - Riva's quick thinking helped her avoid any physical injury.
But it could have been much worse. Rocks had shattered through her
back windows - some with such force that they damaged the windows on the
other side of the car - precisely where her elderly parents-in-law were
meant to have been sitting at the time, but were not due to a
last-minute change of plan.
"They would have been killed, no question," she says.
...
"I've had a firebomb thrown at my car - which fortunately missed me - I've had rocks thrown at my car, I've even once had a machine-gun fired at my car..."
"I've been through it so many times... after a while you get 'good at it', which is extremely sad.
"The worst part of it was... I was trying to take my phone out
while I was driving, and trying to see if I'm safe yet to call the
police because of the people behind me, who would be walking into an
ambush.
"I know there were plenty of cars behind me, so others were also attacked for sure."
After driving a while longer she finally reached Betar, where she immediately alerted security guards, who called the military.
This hits really close to home. We drive to Beitar - and to Beit Shemesh by way of Beitar - way too often
In the meantime, the government, in its infinite wisdom, decided today to impose a 20-year prison term on people who throw stones at cars. That's not an effective deterrent, because (a) everyone knows that the stone throwers will be released in exchange for some kidnapped Jew anyway, (b) they aren't likely to take 10 and 12-year olds (yes, some of the stone throwers are that young and younger) and put them in jail for 20 years, and (c) the law only applies in Jerusalem.
'Palestinians' verify Jews in car, bombard it with rocks
For those of you who think that 'Palestinian' stone throwing is kids throwing small stones from long distance, please look at the picture and read this story.
Oded Hania told Arutz Sheva he was driving in a car with a
friend on the traffic route through the two [Jerusalem] neighborhoods when they were
met by a group of Arab youths - who made sure to verify the two were
Jewish before showering them with a potentially lethal hail of rocks.
"We drove from Atarot towards Shuafat. In Shuafat we saw a group of
three or four youths around 18 years old," relates Hania. "Traffic was
slow; they approached so as to identify if we were Jews."
Hania's friend, an IDF soldier, was dressed in uniform, giving the
youths the indication that the intended victims were indeed Jews. At
that point "they stepped back a bit, and from point blank range threw
huge stones into the car."
The driver's window was smashed by the fusillade of rocks, as was the
window next to Hania, who noted that his friend, who was driving,
"tried to get away in reverse, as the whole car was full of glass. In
the end we went fifty meters in reverse against the stream of traffic,
and then crossed to the opposite lane and got out of there."
The Arab drivers adjacent to the entire incident were completely
indifferent to the attack, says Hania, and not one of them or any
passersby tried to stop the anti-Semitic assault.
This happened about a mile or two from my house....
'Palestinian' terrorists target terror victim's widow and children
'Palestinian' terrorists targeted the widow and children of a man who was murdered in a terror attack on a border outpost near Gaza this past summer as he was packing goodie bags for soldiers.
Arabs threw rocks at the widow’s car as she was making her way
towards the city of Modi’in with her children and a friend. As the car
passed Modi’in Illit, the car was pelted by rocks. Hanin’s eldest
daughter Shaked, who sat in the front of the car, was hit by broken
glass but did not require medical attention. Miraculously, no one else
was seriously hurt.
Avi Naim, head of the Beit Aryeh Council and a close friend of the
Hanin family, responded to Sunday’s attack and called on security forces
to act to stop the rock throwing terrorism on the roads of Judea,
Samaria and Jerusalem.
"We cannot allow cowardly terrorists to hurt women and children under
the cover of darkness in the heart of Israel, it's just unbelievable,”
he said. “It has been quite some time that the State of Israel simply
does not control the Arab riots - not in their villages and not in the
heart of major Israeli cities, including the capital Jerusalem.”
Oh yes, we can - and do - allow them to attack women and children. And it's simply disgraceful.
“There was a lot of traffic,” M. told Arutz Sheva. “They
noticed that a crowd was forming behind their car. They felt that
something was going on, and the feeling was verified when a rock hit the
car. As Jerusalem residents – this in itself is something we are
familiar with. It has happened to all of us before.
“They tried to press forward in traffic, but meanwhile, they saw that
a crowd was coming toward them. They called security. They called the
Mount of Olives hotline but it simply does not pick up the phone. They
called the police, who tried to get them to describe their exact
location, but the call got cut off. The police called them back, and
tried to get some information about where they were and what was going
on, but did not give them any advice.
“More rocks were thrown at the car, until the windows were smashed.
Glass and rocks started falling on the girls in the back seat. The girls
put their schoolbags over their heads, to keep from getting hurt. This
worked, more or less – but one girl was hurt a bit in the back by rocks.
The two girls who sat in the back were taken to Shaarei Tzedek and
Hospital they are OK – no lasting injuries. Not physical, anyway.
“As the crowd got closer they tried not to panic. The mob surrounded
the car – and one of the attackers threw a rock that a girl described as
being 'the size of a round watermelon.'
“The driver tried to make a U turn, but would have had to run over
people to do this. She screamed at police that if they don't come she
will simply run over everyone. A car blocked them from behind, maybe on
purpose, maybe not. Suddenly, they noticed that traffic had opened up a
little and they drove out of the jam. The driver then saw a police car
stuck in traffic. Shaking, she got out of the car, and demanded a police
escort, saying she refused to go anywhere unless police came along with
her. Two Border Policemen got in the car and they continued until they
reached a more quiet place. There, they finally received the attention
of police and medical personnel.”
Video: 'Palestinian' terrorists attack Jewish day care center in Jerusalem
This video was shot earlier today near the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. The apartment at which these 'Palestinian' terrorists are throwing stones serves as a day care center for Jewish infants and children who live in the area.
Let's go to the videotape.
More here (link in Hebrew). Fortunately, it seems that no one was hurt.
There is a protest at the Ger section of the Mount of Olives cemetery at 4:00 pm today.
Video: 'Palestinian' kids throw fire bombs into Jewish home
This video was shot in the 'mixed' neighborhood of Abu Tor, which is not far from Jerusalem's Old City. In it, you will see 'Palestinian' kids throwing fire bombs at the Jewish home from which the video was shot.
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
