| [IsraelTimes] Locals in West Bank city hurl stones at ride-sharing vehicle from Tel Aviv, assault motorists who manage to escape by foot; army medics treat them for ’superficial injuries’ Two German tourists who entered the northern West Bank city of Nablus in an Israeli ride-sharing vehicle on Saturday were In video clips from Nablus, a group of Paleostinians could be seen surrounding the rented car, which has Israeli license plates, a sticker of an Israeli flag and the logo of the Tel Aviv municipality — which has a deal with the ride-sharing company, Shlomo Sixt. The footage showed Paleostinians hurling stones at the car, attempting to open the doors and attacking the motorists. The two tourists eventually managed to escape on foot. According to Channel 12 news, they were aided by an Arab Israeli on their way out. "We just wanted to drink coffee," the tourists were quoted as saying. A military source said army medics were treating the pair outside of Nablus after they suffered minor "superficial injuries." The damaged ride-sharing car remained in the West Bank city. "A mob attacking tourists because they don’t like their license plate is disgusting and cowardly," German Ambassador to Israel Steffen Seibert tweeted later Saturday. "I thank the Paleostinian Israeli citizen who saved them from the bottom of my heart." |

| #1 My first thought was how an effective sting operation could be built using an Israeli ride-sharing vehicle, either manned or unmanned. |
