Report: Jews Hurl Firebomb at Border Police

It has been a stormy week at the Gilad Farm community, viewed as an unauthorized outpost by the government, leading to one incident in which Jews hurled a firebomb at border police, who were trying to prevent moving a caravan to the Shomron location, Channel 1 News� Yoav Limor reported on Tuesday night.

The incident reportedly occurred on Sunday when authorities arrived at the location to confiscate a truck that was to bring a caravan to the site. As a border police jeep escorted the truck from the area, a firebomb was hurled at the jeep. Baruch Hashem, there were no injuries or damage. Police reported seeing �a masked man who fled, heading to Gilad Farm�.

Authorities report the incident is unprecedented and it represents crossing a red line that should not have been crossed. The daily Yisrael HaYom quotes anonymous IDF sources as referring to the situation as �anarchy�.

Gilad Farm officials deny any connection with the attack, pointing the finger of blame at the �hilltop youth� from the area. According to farm resident Iti Zar, the residents would not throw rocks, not at Arabs or Jews, so needless to say they would never entertain using a firebomb.

Security officials conclude that during recent months, there have been numerous incidents at the location, including rock-throwing attacks against Arabs.
