Israeli Candidate Attacked by Stones During Tour in Palestinian Town

Stones were thrown at a vehicle carrying Pler Hassan-Nahoum, the fifth candidate on Ofer Vinter's "Am Israel" list, on Monday afternoon. The incident occurred during an informational tour in the Palestinian town of Turmus Ayya, located in the Benjamin region north of Ramallah. A window of the vehicle was shattered by the stones, and a woman inside sustained minor injuries.

The tour, which included influencers and opinion leaders from around the world, was organized in cooperation with the Regavim movement. According to Hassan-Nahoum's team, a group of individuals surrounded their vehicle as they were leaving the town and began throwing stones and objects at it. Dramatic footage from the scene shows the vehicle being hit by a stone, with the driver instructing passengers to duck. The shattered window is visible in the video.

Ofer Vinter, the party chairman and a retired brigadier general, strongly condemned the attack, stating, "Our friend in the party, Pler Hassan-Nahoum, and her team were attacked with stones by Arab rioters during a tour in Benjamin. Thank God she is with us." He questioned how long Israeli citizens would have to live in fear of such attacks and called for a decisive response to terrorism rather than limited operations or arrests.

Vinter also addressed comments made by Israeli government minister Shlomo Karai, who he claimed suggested Vinter was on the side of Palestine. Vinter asserted his lifelong dedication to fighting Israel's enemies and urged Karai to focus on combating them instead of criticizing those who serve Israel. He emphasized the need for a strategic shift to decisively defeat enemies, not internal disputes, three years after the October 7th attacks.
