'This could kill somebody,' Fleur Hassan-Nahoum tells i24NEWS after Palestinian stone-throwing attack

Fleur Hassan-Nahoum and a group of influencers were attacked by stone-throwers in the West Bank while on a tour of the region with the settler activist group Regavim on Monday. Hassan-Nahoum and her group were travelling to the West Bank to see illegal Palestinian construction in the area. "We went to see facts on the ground." "Some villages would put Beverly Hills to shame — huge mansions," she told i24NEWS. The group entered the village of Turmus Ayya to "look around and take some pictures," but were immediately surrounded and told to leave, prompting them to turn the convoy around. "What we didn't understand," Hassan-Nahoum said, "was that they had prepared an ambush for us." She described lots of teenagers "10-, 12-, 14-year-olds throwing rocks at us on the way out." She held up one of the stones that landed in the car, saying, "This is the type of boulder that could kill somebody." She praised the quick thinking of their guide who told them all to duck. "He's the reason we aren't in the hospital right now." Hassan-Nahoum was quick to condemn any vigilante settler groups that take the law into their own hands, but said that settlers in general face "10 times the attacks" that Palestinians face from vigilantes. "The people in Judea and Samaria experience this on a daily basis," she said. She pointed to the IDF's arrest of more than 10 settler vigilante suspects as the main difference between settler violence and Palestinian attacks, asking, "Is the Palestinian Authority going to arrest them?" Hassan-Nahoum is currently running as a candidate for Ofer Winter's Amcha Israel party and took aim at the current government's policy of prolonged wars of containment, saying, "We can no longer afford forever wars. We need to go back to the Ben-Gurion Doctrine of short, decisive wars."
