Rav Yossi Nachshon is a resident of Kiryat Arba and area Chabad shaliach. He was heading from Kiryat Arba towards Southern Hebron Hills communities for ‘mivtzaim’ as is his norm, but this time, an Arab mob was waiting in ambush and they began bombarding his vehicle with rocks. He told Kikar Shabbos News that the vehicle’s windshield was smashed in the attack but B’chasdei Hashem, despite being bombarded with stones, no one was killed or injured.
He added that in his 25 years of shlichus in the area he does not recall such a serious rock attack against him, stressing the number of Arabs who bombarded his vehicle and the quantity of rocks thrown. He is quoted adding “I recall a time when a Jew was stabbed in Israel the response was one of outrage but today it is just another cold report of another family that has been destroyed”.
Nachshon calls on national leaders to wage a tenacious war against terrorism towards bringing an end to the attacks.

Bahby, the head shliach in the area has been teaching the other shluchim how to shoot, and arming them. A few months ago, one shot and killed a terrorist just days after receiving his gun, thus saving many lives. I hope this shliach is one who is armed, too.
