A Palestinian mob assaulted a group of Israelis who were hiking from the yishuv of Ofra toward the yishuv of Givat Assaf, near Beit El, Arutz Sheva reported.

Some of the hikers were injured by stones and required medical treatment.

Dozens of rioters emerged from a village near Ramallah and attacked the Jewish hikers with rocks and stones from close range.

Some of the Jews fired their weapons and managed to scare the Arabs away and escape the scene.

MDA forces provided treatment at the scene to a head injury victim and evacuated him to the hospital.
