Israeli police confirmed that a resident of an Israeli farm in Binyamin (Judea and Samaria) shot and moderately wounded a Palestinian man who, according to police, approached holding a rock and tried to harm the resident. Palestinian reports separately claim four people were wounded, one seriously, in stone-throwing violence by youths near a village north of Ramallah. The police-stated incident is under investigation.
Police confirmed tonight that a resident of a Binyamin farm shot a Palestinian man who, they say, approached holding a rock and tried to harm him. The Palestinian was moderately wounded. The incident occurred in the Binyamin area of Judea and Samaria. Police said a preliminary probe is underway. Separately, Palestinian reports cited by local outlets claim four people were wounded, one seriously, in stone-throwing violence by youths near a village north of Ramallah. The Desk has no independent corroboration of the Palestinian reports. As The Zioneer reported at 13:25, a similar incident occurred earlier today on the same farm — a Palestinian man was shot after approaching with a rock. That earlier incident was also under police investigation. It is unclear whether tonight's report refers to the same incident or a new one; the timestamps differ but the details are nearly identical. No prior reporting on a separate youth-stoning incident in the Ramallah area sufficient for continuity claims.
