One of the four young Breslover Hassidim wounded by a PA security officer at Joseph's Tomb on Sunday remains in critical condition at Beilinson Hospital. He is under under anesthesia and on a respirator.
The shooting in question is the same attack that took the life of 25 year old Ben Yosef Livnat, nephew of culture and science minister Limor Livnat, and father of four.
One of the worshipers present during the attack at Joseph's Tomb, who identified himself only as “J,” told Channel 2, "We entered the tomb, everything was as usual, give a kiss to the grave. We go out, we enter a car, and see the victim's vehicle drive past us us."
"Suddenly a policeman draws his gun,” he continued. “Giving a shot into the rear window and shout Allahu Akbar. We thought he [Ben Yosef Livnat] just lost consciousness. They also shot my car.”
Israeli police are looking for J and his companions pursuant to their investigation into the shooting. But they prefer to hide.
PA officials claim the fatal incident is still under investigation. "Next time try to talk with the military coordinate,” they said.
"No problem of coordination can justify an incident like this and the shooting of innocent people,"
Israel's Defense Minister, Ehud Barak said of the death of Yosef Ben Livnat and wounding of three of his friends by PA force.
Barak described the incident as being tantamount to 'murder.'
