On Wednesday evening, residents of Efrat left the safety of their town’s borders to hold a peaceful protest along the main road leading to their northern entrance, which is also near the entrance to a nearby Arab village.

The Efrat residents were protesting the recent wave of Arab stone throwing, fire bombs, and burning tires that have left residents of Efrat injured and their cars damaged. Many of the attacks took place at the protest’s exact location.

The protest was organized by Women in Green leader, Nadia Matar, who demanded that the new Defense Minister take a stronger position against the Arab terrorists, and provide more protection on a daily basis.

Numerous soldiers were on site to protect the protesters, and in the video below, one can see some damage to one of their jeeps from Arab attacks. The protesters thanked the army for the job they are doing, despite being held back by the political echelons.

Numerous police were also at the protest site, but they were more busy photographing and filming the citizens of Efrat who were demanding protection.

Day After Day: Palestinians Attack MDA Ambulances

Thursday, April 4th, 2013

In what has become a daily occurrence, Palestinians are routinely throwing rocks at Magen David Adom ambulances,  smashing windshields and seriously endangering the MDA medical crews.

Despite that MDA ambulances and medics treat wounded without bias to race or religion, Palestinians target these life saving efforts, even when the wounded are Palestinians.

 

 

 

 

Over the past few days:

April 2, 2013, 17:15 – Palestinians stone MDA ambulance on the Jerusalem – Hevron highway #60, near the community of Karmei Zur.

April 3, 2013 15:43 – Palestinians stone MDA ambulance on Halhul bypass road, part of the Jerusalem – Hevron highway #60.

Second Fire Bombing Arab Dies

Thursday, April 4th, 2013

An Arab teenager, Naji al-Balbisi, 18, died after being shot by Israeli forces during stone throwing and fire bombing clashes near Tulkarem, in Judea and Samaria, late Wednesday, Ma’an reported.

According to Ma’an, the IDF detained the body al-Balbisi for several hours, and then at 4 AM handed it over to the Red Crescent.

The teenager was the second to die after Israeli soldiers shot and killed a youth late Wednesday near a checkpoint in the Tulkarem area.

Soldiers in the area opened fire at Amer Nassar, 17, killing him instantly in response to Arab firebombing targeting a military post.

An Israeli army official said Arabs had attacked the post with firebombs.

“IDF soldiers responded by firing towards the attackers and identified a hit,” the IDF spokesperson stated, adding that “the circumstances are currently being reviewed.”

Close to a thousand people turned out on the streets of Tulkarem in the aftermath, according to Ma’an. Mourners carried the youth’s body as the crowd chanted slogans condemning the attack.

The incident came as clashes broke out in Judea and Samaria, especially in Hebron, between Israeli soldiers and Arabs protesting the death from cancer of a prisoner serving a life sentence in Israeli prison.

Maisara Abu Hamdiyeh was diagnosed with throat cancer and died after serving 10 years of his sentence, for attempted murder.

The Palestinian Authority has accused Israel of medical negligence, conveniently ignoring the fact that the prison service was in the process of approving an early release for Abu Hamdiyeh, on compassionate grounds.

Arabs Threw Stones at 4-Year-Old Girl on Temple Mount

Sunday, March 31st, 2013

Temple Mount in Jerusalem was closed on Sunday morning to Jews and tourists, as Arab rioters threw stones at Jews on Temple Mount as well as the Jews praying by the Kotel.

According to Reshet Bet Radio, the incident began when a 4-year-old girl had to relieve herself at the edge of the Temple Mount compound. The girl was accompanying her father, who was among the Jewish activists visiting the holy site. There are no bathroom facilities available in the area which is permissible for Jews to access, and so the father had to take his child to a secluded area.

Arab youths in the Al-Aqsa Mosque on Temple Mount who heard about the “offense” started throwing stones indiscriminately at all the visitors at the site. They threw stones at police and then at the large crowd of Jews praying below the Mount, at the Western Wall. No one was hurt and police forces repelled the attackers and arrested six suspects.

The child’s father told Reshet Bet he had no intention to provoke the Arabs, but absent a proper facility, he had to take care of his child as best he could.

Jewish Temple activists said that closing Temple Mount on Jewish holidays has become a predictable ritual, as Muslims incite rioters over their websites to storm the site, and Israeli police never lifts a finger to prepare for the rioters. Instead, they let the riots begin and then use them as an excuse to close off the site.
