Sources from the Binyamin Regional Council claim that the Palestinian Authority led hundreds of individuals, described as anarchists and terrorists, into a confrontation with Israelis near the village of Abu Falah.

The council noted that journalists present documented the event, which they believe was a planned provocation to distort the reality on the ground.
