A Palestinian man was shot and moderately wounded at an Israeli farm near the village of Duma in the Binyamin region of Judea and Samaria on Sunday afternoon, Israeli police and military sources reported. The incident occurred when the man approached the farm; residents said he was holding a rock and attempting to attack them. One of the farm's residents fired, striking the Palestinian. IDF forces who arrived at the scene provided initial medical treatment and transferred the wounded man to the Red Crescent. A preliminary police investigation suggested the man was acting erratically and suspiciously, and the armed individual felt threatened and fired to neutralize the perceived danger. Police have opened an investigation. This incident is separate from recent criminal violence in Arab communities across Israel, and security forces are not treating it as part of that pattern.
