Israeli Who Accidentally Entered Palestinian Village Nearly Lynched
(Ynet News) Omri Ephraim - Nir Nachshon was on his way home when a GPS device mistake caused him to mistakenly enter the Palestinian village of Issawiya in east Jerusalem Sunday night. Speaking from his hospital bed, he said, "Just as I made the turn, I figured out that I made a mistake, but I didn't realize how big the issue was. This is Jerusalem. This is home." "Immediately when I made the turn a 12-year-old boy started screaming 'Jew, Jew.' Each time he called out dozens more people arrived." That is when they started throwing rocks and cement blocks into the car. "All I could see was murder in their eyes. I felt my life would be over at any minute." Nir then described how his life was saved: "Someone came out of nowhere and tried to rescue me from the people; there was screaming but he managed to get me to his house." The rescuers were one of the village's muhtars and his sons, who took him to a police patrol car waiting outside the village.
