An Israeli man was nearly lynched by a group of masked Palestinian rioters this weekend while he was driving in the West Bank south of Jerusalem.
The incident occurred on Saturday on a main road near the Israeli community of Tekoa in the Gush Etzion region. Following a funeral for a terrorist killed during a recent attempted stabbing attack, local Palestinians established an improvised checkpoint and began looking for Israelis to attack.
One Israeli — who came upon the scene before security forces arrived to disperse the rioters and barely escaped with his life — recounted, according to Channel 2, “They smelled me a kilometer away. They had set up a roadblock there, it was impossible to pass. I immediately pulled out my gun and cocked it, so they would see I was armed, but that didn’t stop them at all.”
Fortunately, the man — a Tekoa resident — was able to drive away as the rioters closed in on him.
