04/24/2011 09:45 Talkbacks (9) One Israeli worshiper was killed and four were wounded in Nablus early Sunday morning after their vehicle was shot at by a Palestinian Authority policeman as the group was exiting the city from prayer services held at Joseph's Tomb. Magen David Adom said one person was in serious condition, one in moderate condition and two others in light condition.

The Palestinian police officer who opened fire told investigators in the Palestinian security forces that he identified "suspicious" individuals and fired at them, the IDF said. The shooting took place in an area of Palestinian Authority security jurisdiction. The PA policeman was being interrogated by Palestinian security officers. Several hours after the incident, dozens of Palestinians rioted near Joseph's Tomb and set tires on fire, Israel Radio reported. Settlers claimed that Palestinians vandalized the holy site in the wake of the attack.

A security source said a dispute had preceded the shooting incident. The argument involved the PA policeman who opened fire and the group of of 15 Breslev hassidim who arrived at the site. The source said the Israeli worshipers arrived at the tomb without coordinating their visit with the IDF, as is standard request, and without army protection.

According to Nablus Governor Jibreen al Bakri, the shooting attack was a "security incident" and not a terror attack. Bakri said the group of Breslev hassidim raised suspicions since they entered the city without prior coordination with the proper authorities. At first shots were fired in the air as a warning and then at the vehicle, he said. Bakri said the incident was being investigated and refused to say if the shooters were Palestinian Authority police. He added that the authorities who were in the area were detained and were being interrogated about the details of the incident.

Three vehicles with 15 Breslev hasidim entered the city in the early morning hours to attend prayer services at Joseph's Tomb. On the way back, around 6 a.m. they encountered a surprise checkpoint and were met with a hail of gunfire from a Palestinian jeep. The fire continued even after the vehicles turned back in an attempt to escape. Two of the three vehicles were hit.

The worshipers were able to evacuate themselves to the IDF Samaria district brigade base and the Har Bracha settlement which were near by and received initial emergency medical care.

The death of a 25-year-old male was pronounced at the scene. The victim was identified as Ben Yosef Livnat, the nephew of Minister of Culture and Sports Limor Livnat (Likud). Livnat was married, a father of four and was a resident of Jerusalem. A 20-year-old man was injured in serious condition, suffering of an abdominal wound. He was airlifted to Bellinson Hospital in Petah Tikva where he underwent surgery. A 17-year-old youth was evacuated by a Magen David Adom Yarkon crew in moderate condition, suffering a wound to his shoulder. Another two individuals were injured in light condition. They did not require evacuation and received medical treatment on location.

The funeral procession for Livnat was scheduled to leave the Elon Moreh settlement at 11 a.m. and head in the direction of Jerusalem. He will be laid to rest at the Mount of Olives cemetery.

Senior IDF officials were expected to hold a meeting with Palestinian officials later Sunday to clarify details of the incident.

When asked about the possibility that Palestinian police shot at the car, Gershon Mesika, head of the Samaria regional council, told Army Radio that Breslov hassids attempt to illegally enter Joseph's Tomb almost every month. He added that Palestinian Police are familiar with the regular occurrence, and would have no reason to shoot at visitors.

It is very interesting how if an Arab trying to infiltrate into Israel illegally, or even attack IDF soldiers and not adhering to IDF orders to stop is not considered justification to open fire by the PA. Yet when unarmed religious Jews enter one of our holiest sites in historic Schem, the PA does not condemn the shooting in any way. There have been many instances where IDF soldiers were shot because of restrictions to open fire. Maybe is time to for us to re-assess what is the difference between a threat and "Suspicious Movement"…….

Guess that by "suspicious" he meant "Jewish".. Everyone who has seen the Breslovers know what they look like.. And since this isn't something out of the ordinary, then one should wonder about the "surprise" for the PA "officer".. Had this been the other way around, we would have seen worldwide condemnations, but of course, this is "just" Jews, so no worries.. Sick world..



7. What were these settlers thinking?Author:?? ZaraCountry:?? 04/24/2011???10:04
If a car full of Palestinians, some of them armed, was spotted driving in Israel, and refused to stop in front of a checkpoint, the Israeli police would shoot. What were these settlers thinking? They were not in israel, they were in Palestine.

The article says there was a dispute with the PA policeman when the worshippers arrived at the site, but they were shot when leaving after prayers. Morning prayers with Hallel, Torah reading and Musaf should have been at least one hour-long enough for the policeman to report the argument and get instructions. On the other hand, Israel gave them weapons and the right to organize a military, making Israel more culpable than the PA, since leopards do not change their spots. And expecting Barak, who allowed the Israeli soldier to die at Kever Yosef, to do something is just patently ridiculous.



5. Jewish holy sites are made Judenrhein by the PalesAuthor:?? Itzhik CohenCountry:?? Israel04/24/2011???09:53
Joseph's tomb has belonged uninterrupted to the Jewish people for 3000 years. The Palestinians stole it and are getting away with murder. The IDF evacuated the site because a soldier was killed there. The IDF should have taken over Shechem after the Oct 2000 intifada. But of course religious Jews are second rate citizens in Israel and judaism is battered for false treaties. Bibi Netanyahu can be expected to do nothing again and more Israelis will be killed as a consequence.

The group may be religious but they are not above the law. They should be charged for illegally entering a closed area without first coordinating with the IDF.

Far too many Palestinian "policemen" are simply former Palestinian terrorists who were co-opted into the PA security forces to keep them from being arrested and imprisoned by Israel. This explains at least partly why these policemen often participate in terror attacks against Israelis and why the PA is never going to arrest any of them. Certainly the anti Jewish and anti Israel incitement by the PA media and educational system has played a part in encouraging these attacks by justifying the murder of innocent Jewish men, women, children, and three month old babies.

This is just a taste of what will be if the Kotel or any other section of the old city is put in arab hands. it's time to wake up and face reality and stop accepting a palestinian state.
