An elderly Chareidi man who entered Qalandiya in the Palestinian Authority overnight Motzei Shabbos was attacked by a mob of Arabs and narrowly escaped serious injury.
A mob surrounded his car and threw stones and blocks at it as he tried to escape. However, he smashed into a concrete barrier and was lightly injured.
Palestinian security forces intervened and brought him outside the town, where he was transferred to IDF forces and received emergency medical treatment. He was then evacuated to Shaare Tzedek Hospital.
The victim’s car was left behind and the Arabs set it on fire.

He went there to save on fuel. He almost lost his life because he didn’t want to pay Israeli taxes.
Can anyone explain why any Israeli in his right mind would enter qualandia?!
What about that democrat controlled media’s narrative of innocent Palestinians?! Is this how the peace loving peace seeking Palestinians welcome an innocent Jew who got lost?! To murder him?!
Bklyntrucker, don’t speak lashon hara about Jews, ever, and especially when you don’t know the situation. It’s very easy to enter Qalandiya accidently if you aren’t familiar with the roads in North Jerusalem.
Yeah what on earth was this guy thinking going into this village?
Bklntrucker, that is vile loshon hora and likely hotza’as shem ra. I’m not sure how the mods let that through.
Like everyone else who wasn’t there, I don’t know why this gentleman tried to drive through Qalandia, but anyone who has driven in that area knows there are many roads in Yehuda and Shomron that both Israelis and Palestinians are allowed to drive on, and it’s easy to make a wrong turn. I know from experience that Google Maps will take you through there if you try to use it to navigate from Kochav Yaakov to parts of Yerushalayim. Fortunately I was paying attention. If you use Waze, that’s less likely to happen.
