Location: Ma’ale Lavona, Benjamin
In a tense incident near the Israeli settlement of Ma’ale Lavona in Benjamin, a settler responded to an attack by shooting a Palestinian terrorist, seriously injuring him. The Binyamin Regional Council stated that the resident acted in self-defense after Palestinians stoned his car, putting his family’s lives at risk. Fortunately, there were no Israeli casualties in the incident.
According to the Binyamin Regional Council, the resident was traveling with his family when they encountered a large stone barrier near Ma’ale Lavona. As they reached a checkpoint, Palestinians blocked their way, bombarding them with stones and threatening their lives. In response, the resident used his personal weapon to shoot at the rioters, ultimately rescuing his family from the scene.
Recognizing the resident’s courageous actions, Binyamin Regional Council head Israel Gantz personally commended him, stating, “You acted as expected and required of every citizen in such a situation. You preserved the lives of your wife and your four children. All the best for the correct conduct in such a situation.” In the aftermath, security forces took over the area to locate the assailants, leading to a temporary road closure.
The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) spokesperson addressed the incident, confirming that terrorists had thrown stones at Israeli vehicles near the village of Singil in the Binyamin division. As a result, an Israeli citizen was injured but did not require medical treatment. In response, the citizen whose vehicle had sustained damage due to the attack fired in self-defense. IDF forces swiftly arrived at the scene, investigating reports of a wounded Palestinian who sought medical treatment through the Red Crescent.
As tensions remain high in the region, incidents like these serve as a reminder of the ongoing conflicts and risks faced by both Israeli settlers and Palestinians residing in the area. The security forces continue their efforts to ensure the safety of all parties involved and maintain order in the region.
