Residents of the Jewish community of Yitzhar retaliated against the nearby Palestinian Authority Arab village of Asira al-Kabaliya in Samaria after an Arab entered the Jewish town and stabbed a nine-year-old boy on the Sabbath.
Dozens of Jews poured into the Arab village, where it was believed the suspected terrorist resides. According to the villagers, the Jews damaged houses, overturned vehicles and shot rubber bullets as well as live ammunition at Arab residents. Villagers hurled rocks at the Jews until IDF soldiers arrived to break up the riot.
At least two Arabs sustained gunshot wounds.
