Arab Mob Attacks Israeli Who Accidentally Entered Binyamin Village

An Israeli civilian narrowly escaped a deadly lynching Monday night after mistakenly entering the Arab village of Mukhamas, located near the Sha’ar Binyamin industrial zone along Route 60.

According to initial reports, the man — identified by locals as Jewish — was attempting to find his way out of the area when residents recognized him and quickly mobilized a violent mob. The attackers surrounded his vehicle, pelting it with rocks from point-blank range in what appeared to be an attempt to kill him while he was still inside.

The victim managed to flee the vehicle on foot, reaching open terrain where he was located by nearby farm workers and responding security forces. IDF troops later entered the village and retrieved his car. No arrests have yet been reported among the assailants.

Mukhamas has a documented history of violence over the past year, including multiple attacks targeting nearby Jewish communities. The village also hosts far-left activists who reside in one of its homes under the pretext of “protecting Palestinians from settler violence.”

In previous incidents, Jewish shepherds have been injured and required medical treatment. In one large-scale attack involving over 100 Arab residents, police discovered an airsoft pistol and knives inside a vehicle abandoned by one of the assailants.

Last night’s attempted lynching marks a dangerous escalation in Mukhamas, situated on the edge of Route 60, underscoring ongoing threats to Israeli civilians traveling in the area.
