An Israeli Arab truck driver was attacked with rocks and pepper spray after driving into Yitzhar in Shomron on Tuesday afternoon, 3 Tammuz 5773. According to reports, he was making a delivery when he came under attack.
Border police were summoned and they succeeded in extricating him from the community. It does not appear that any of the youths involved in the attack were arrested.

Surely seems like a missing puzzle piece in this post.
the picture is not matiim to the article. it was Jewish youth attacking an arab, not arabs throwing rocks.
These thugs are driving every Jew in a bigger danger. they give legitimacy for Arabs to attack Jews.
The text of this report does not identify the nationalities of the attackers. The photo accompanying includes a man wearing a red kaffeyah. The editors should consider deleting the picture unless they know that the attackers were Arabs.
Who attacked whom? Was it Palestinians thinking they were throwing rocks at a Jew? or at an Arab employed by a Jew? or thrown by Jews not realizing they were thrown at someone hired by Jews to make deliveries? Were they trying to rob the truck? And the picture of an urban setting seems a bit unlikely for Yitzhar which has about as many people as a city block in Brooklyn.
Or maybe, don’t publish any store without the facts.
