Nearly Lynched: Israeli Citizen Kills Terrorist In Self Defense

Violent riots erupted this morning south of Shchem on the main road that passes through the Arab town of Hawara. Arabs lobbed large rocks and boulders at passing Israeli traffic, causing severe damage and injury. The riot took place on the strategic Rt. 60, which is the only road that leads to dozens of Jewish communities where thousands of Jews live.



An armed Israeli citizen caught in a hail of rocks, feared for his life and drew his private fire arm and fired at the terrorists. One rioter was killed and another moderately injured.

The Palestinian health ministry reported that a 23-year-old man from the town of Bayta was killed during clashes with settlers in Hawara. According to Arab social media the dead Arab is identified as Muatz Chusayn form Bayta.

The Israeli citizen who was forced to fire upon the terrorists to defend himself, is a father of 8, and a social worker by profession. The man was driving back from Rami Levi after doing some grocery shopping, when he was trapped by the rioters who nearly lynched him.



At the same time, a mother of 5, who is employed at the Shomron regional ‘welfare services’, was injured form rocks that were hurled at her car on the Hawara road this morning.

This is the third day in a row that Arabs are rioting on the Hawara road, obstructing the only passage to Jewish communities in the area, and viciously stoning Israeli vehicles, many of which have small children inside.

MK Motti Yogev commented on the latest incident saying: “I really appreciate the IDF and its commanders, but lately due to the escalation in the attacks throughout Yehuda and Shomron, it seems that IDF has failed to protect the roads…IDF Soldiers and commanders seem more inhibited than acting against the increased terror, and citizens that are forced to defend themselves are detained and their weapons are confiscated. This is a very dangerous equation.”

Yogev added, “I have requested an urgent hearing at the ‘Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee’, and for an investigation to explain the defense establishment's handling of the current wave of terror”.
