A routine informational tour in Judea and Samaria turned dangerous on Monday when the vehicle carrying Pler Hassan-Nahoum, candidate number 5 for the "Am Ech Israel" party, was attacked with stones. The incident occurred near the village of Turmus Ayya in the Benjamin region, as part of a joint tour with the Regavim movement that included international influencers and opinion leaders. As the group was leaving the village, a group of Palestinians reportedly surrounded the car and began throwing stones and objects, shattering one of the windows. Several tour participants sustained minor injuries. Videos circulating online show passengers ducking and shouting "Heads down!". Hassan-Nahoum, a veteran advocacy activist and former Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem, stated after the incident that "Palestinian terrorism will not deter us. I will continue to fight for the State of Israel's name in the world." She emphasized that the attack reinforced the need for her advocacy work with international audiences. The tour aimed to show foreign influencers the reality on the ground in Judea and Samaria. Regavim, known for its work on land issues and combating illegal construction, organized the visit as part of a broader effort to present a comprehensive picture beyond headlines. Turmus Ayya is known as a sensitive village in the area, often experiencing confrontations, and its residents have strong international ties, including many American citizens. The attack adds to a series of stone-throwing incidents in the region that morning, which also damaged other vehicles. However, the context of the tour with foreign guests made this incident particularly symbolic, highlighting the real-world challenges of advocacy. Hassan-Nahoum had previously participated in the Jerusalem Pride Parade, drawing criticism from the Haredi public, and at the time claimed to have consulted with Minister Ze'ev Elkin, though Elkin's office stated she marched personally and without seeking his permission.
