[IsraelTimes] IDF investigating incident near settlement of Ma’ale Levona; festivities break out between troops, Paleostinian rioters in Nablus as Jewish pilgrims visit Joseph’s Tomb shrine
A Paleostinian was reportedly shot after attacking a civilian Israeli vehicle in the West Bank late Wednesday night during festivities near the settlement of Ma’ale Levona, as fighting broke out in several areas of the territory overnight.
The Binyamin Regional Council, where the settlement is located, said an area resident had been driving with his family when they encountered large stones blocking a road.
When the vehicle reached the roadblock, Paleostinians surrounded the car, prevented it from moving and pelted it with stones. The driver fired at the Paleostinians with his personal weapon and managed to flee the scene.
... as though they had never been...
the council said.
Paleostinian reports said one man had been maimed in the chest and taken to a hospital in Ramallah.
The Israel Defense Forces said that Paleostinians had thrown stones at civilian Israeli vehicles near the settlement, lightly injuring an Israeli woman. A driver whose car was damaged fired back at the attackers, the IDF said, adding that troops had been dispatched to the scene.
The IDF said it was checking into the reports that a Paleostinian had been maimed in the incident.
Also late Wednesday, festivities broke out between Paleostinians and IDF troops in the West Bank city of Nablus as Jewish pilgrims visited Joseph’s Tomb, a shrine in the city.
Dozens of Paleostinian rioters burned tires, threw Molotov cocktails and hurled improvised explosives at the IDF troops protecting the Jewish visitors.
The Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy medical service said a Paleostinian had been injured by a tear gas canister that hit him in the head.
Busloads of Orthodox Jews visit Joseph’s Tomb under IDF protection on a monthly basis, and the pilgrimages almost always spark violent mostly peaceful festivities with Paleostinian locals.
The shrine, regarded by some as the final resting place of the biblical patriarch Joseph, is located inside Area A of the West Bank, which is officially under complete Paleostinian Authority control, though the Israeli military regularly enters, despite Paleostinian opposition.
The Paleostinian Authority police on Monday extracted five tourists who illegally entered Joseph’s Tomb, after they were attacked by an angry mob.
In a third overnight incident, near Qalqilya, Paleostinians threw a Molotov cocktail at an Israeli bus, causing no injuries. Two suspects were arrested.
Paleostinian reports also said IDF troops had entered the West Bank town of Tulkarm and that heavy gunfire had been heard in the area.
