      Havat Gilad: Border Police Beat Us


      Itai Zar of Havat Gilad (Gilad's Farm) told Arutz Sheva Sunday night that contrary to an earlier report, Border Police attacked residents of the Samarian Jewish outpost community and not the other way around.

      Zar says a Border Guard jeep entered the farm, blinded people with its lights and drove against traffic as worshippers were leaving evening services. When confronted with hi acts, he continued to act wildly, even when his commanding officer told him to leave. In the course of the incident the jeep suffered a flat tire. Other soldiers arrived and yelled at the residents, as if they were criminals, "This is the end of you."

      Zar concluded, "The residents of the farm aren't looking for trouble, they're looking for peace and quiet."
