Palestinians attacked German tourists thinking they were IDF soldiers, says PA
Since when do soldiers travel in Israel-identified rental cars? [IsraelTimes] Paleostinians who attacked German tourists in Nablus yesterday had feared they were Israeli forces, a front man for the Paleostinian Authority security services says.
The two tourists drove yesterday through central Nablus when they came under attack.
"A group of young men... hurled stones at a civilian car with Israeli license plates," a local Paleostinian security official says on condition of anonymity.
Talal Dweikat, front man for the Paleostinian security forces, tells AFP that "we clearly have zero hostility towards a country whose citizens visit our cities."
Clearly. According to Dweikat, those involved were "wary" of a "foreign" car, fearing it may have been used by undercover Israeli forces.
Undercover soldiers driving an Israel-identified rental car? Are they that stupid or do they think we are?
