A Jewish civilian was attacked after mistakenly entering the village of Mukhmas near Highway 60, where locals identified him as Israeli and threw rocks at his car. The man escaped on foot and was later found by nearby farm workers, who alerted security forces. Israeli military personnel subsequently entered the village and recovered his vehicle, but no arrests have been made in connection with the incident.
Residents from neighboring Israeli settlements allege that Mukhmas has been the source of several recent attacks on Israeli communities. They claim the village receives support from far-left activists, some of whom reside there to monitor settler activity. Past incidents reportedly involved injuries to shepherds and, in one case, the recovery of an airsoft gun and knives following a large confrontation.
