A student at "Od Yosef Chai" Yeshiva in the Samarian Jewish community of Yitzhar recently assembled a "Kassam"-type rocket and fired it at a neighboring village, NRG-Maariv reported Friday. According to the report, Rabbi Itzik Shapira, who heads the yeshiva, is suspected of involvement in the incident.
The rocket landed in a field between Yitzhar and the Arab village that was targeted and exploded a few meters away from a Breslaver Hasidic Jew who was busy praying at the time. No one was hurt.
