Palestinian documentation: A Jew beaten by Arabs in East Jerusalem
Danny Rahamim, who has lived in Kibbutz Nahal Oz for 45 years, admits that he was surprised by the massive shooting last night at the Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council.
"For a year or more we had quiet, except for small events. During the corona and before, life was back on track and there were no alarms or gunfire towards the area," he says.
"Tonight we woke up to some red alarms. Luckily we got used to it, and went straight into the protected space. I guess there were people who kept sleeping as usual and didn't even hear the alarms. Even though we knew there was calm and quiet, you always know inside that all that silence can change in an instant."
Gadi Yarkoni, head of the Eshkol Council, said this morning: "A sleepless night has passed over the residents of the envelope. As far as we know, the shooting was carried out in response to events taking place in the Jerusalem area and Palestinian internal parties. .
Yarkoni warned that a large part of the houses in the Eshkol Regional Council are still unprotected.
"As absurd as it sounds, after 20 years of firing, there are still houses in the cluster that do not have MMDs. Those settlements were not included in the Gaza Envelope protection project. These residents slept under missile attack tonight, without MMDs and vulnerable to injury. On such a tense day. I demand that the Israeli government put aside its political pursuits and focus on its citizens in the envelope that need immediate protection. "
The IDF attacked the Gaza Strip in response
Following the launches, the IDF attacked underground infrastructure of the Hamas terrorist organization, rocket launchers and other targets in the Gaza Strip during the night.
Earlier in the night, an IDF tank attacked a military post of the Hamas terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip. Subsequently, at least two launches were identified from the Gaza Strip to Israeli territory. After the IDF attack, the organizations fired five more rockets, intercepting four Iron Dome systems.
Earlier last night, Palestinian terrorist organizations issued statements threatening to attack Israel in the wake of recent events in Jerusalem.
Terrorist organizations have accused Israel of harming the al-Aqsa Mosque.
The statement, issued by the Joint Situation Room of the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip, read: "We call on the leaders of the occupation not to make a mistake. We see what is happening in our capital as a red line and its crossing will have dire consequences. The enemy will pay the most."
At the same time, riots broke out in several centers in Jerusalem and the territories of Judea and Samaria, in which an Israeli security guard was lightly wounded and a number of Palestinians were also injured by security forces.
At the Qalandiya checkpoint, hundreds of rioters threw stones and Molotov cocktails, fired fireworks and set fire to tires, and dozens rioted in the area of Rachel's Tomb as well.
Border forces dispersed the rioters using means to disperse demonstrations.
The security guard, a 22-year-old young man, was lightly wounded in the head during a riot in the city of David.
Palestinians report ten wounded, including a Red Crescent medic who was hit in the head by a rubber bullet.
As you may recall, in recent days, mass riots have developed in Jerusalem following the closure of the Nablus Gate during the month of Ramadan.
At the same time, in a number of cases, Jewish Arabs attacked Jerusalem, and yesterday a demonstration by the Lehavah organization, "To Restore Jewish Dignity," called for "death to the Arabs." Police dispersed the two demonstrations, Jewish and Arab, using means.
Among the violent incidents yesterday, a Jewish driver who came to pray at the Western Wall was attacked by several Arabs in the east of the city and he was rescued from the scene with minor injuries.
This morning, a video was released documenting the attack, and the photographer reads: "Break the settler, break."
The police said that an initial investigation revealed that the incident took place near Rockefeller in East Jerusalem.
Arabs threw stones at Jardi's vehicle, which tried to flee the scene on foot.
Then some young people started attacking him and eventually he turned to medical care.
Minister of Internal Security Amir Ohana addressed the events in the afternoon and announced the strengthening of forces in Jerusalem.
