C., a resident of Samaria, drove to the Western Wall in Jerusalem earlier this month.

On the way there, while in the Ras al-Amud neighborhood in the east of the city, he was ambushed by young Arabs who threw stones at him.

As a result, the windshields of the vehicle were shattered and he was injured in the face.

Only about two weeks after the complaint was filed at the police station, C. was informed that the case was closed.

This is despite the fact that the police themselves classified the complaint as "hostilities against Israel."

"A decision was made to close the case and not to prosecute the suspect," Balconies told C. from the police.

"I was driving on Sunday, July 4, in the Silwan neighborhood," said G., a construction worker, who was struck by lightning along with two of his employees. "I had stones. My windshield shattered and miraculously I managed to slip away."

"I was injured," C. continues, "although she forced me to seek medical attention, but it could have ended much worse. It's crazy that the police end such a case without real treatment."

Lawyer Arie Arbus, representing the victim, attacked the police decision: "We were surprised to find that the Israeli police closed a nationalist assault case within days, on the grounds of innocence, without investigative actions being taken to locate the suspects. This conduct of the police endangers Silwan and "

The Israel Police stated: "Immediately upon receiving the report of the incident, the police opened an investigation, in which a variety of actions were taken, including investigating a suspect in the act. Depending on the evidentiary infrastructure and investigative materials obtained, If additional information arises that could lead to a development in the investigation, then these will be examined as usual.
