Settlers suspected of hurling stones at PA prime minister’s convoy — report
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsraeli settlers are suspected of hurling stones at the convoy of Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah while it was travelling in the northern West Bank last week, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
A passenger inside one of the vehicles was lightly injured from shattered glass.
The incident took place at the same junction where a large stone was hurled at a vehicle being driven by Yakoub Rabi in October. The rock went through the windshield and hit his wife Aisha in the head, killing the 47-year-old mother of eight.
An investigation has been opened into the incident with the growing assessment among defense officials being that Israeli settlers were responsible for hurling the stone. However, a gag-order has been placed on the probe.
