The IDF and Border Police canceled a planned entry of Jewish mispallelim to Kever Yosef in Shechem after a group of mispallelim entered the city on their own overnight Monday.
Shechem, a known terror hotspot, is unsafe to enter at the best of times and even more so during the current tense security situation throughout the country. One of the mispallelim was attacked by Arabs who almost lynched him. He ran away and hid overnight and was rescued in the morning by the Palestinian police who transferred him to IDF forces.
He received emergency medical treatment and was evacuated to Beilinson Hospital in Petach Tikvah for further treatment.
The video below shows the Palestinian police rescuing the Jew:
Following the incident, the planned entry of 12 buses of mispallelim to mark the Yesod She’Biyasod of Sefer HaOmer was canceled. However, a small number of mispallelim were allowed in, including bereaved family members who lost their relatives in the war and relatives of wounded IDF soldiers.

They should be arrested for putting other Jews in danger like that. Mitzvah habah biaverah.
these Jews are jerks disguised and dressed as if they are totally righteous poople.
Hey you play with fire, you get burnt, idiot should have been left to there own devices.
Wow, very smart thing to do! This guy is very lucky he’s still alive. They all are. Palestinian police don’t always have a history of saving lives. Some have suffered very gruesome deaths, to say the least, after entering PA territory.
Why on Earth did they go to Shechem? What justifies putting their lives and the lives of others in danger? Is it a a secret that there are a lot of bloodthirsty Palestinians in the area who would claim Jews going to daven there is a provocation they deserve to be killed for?
