WATCH: Palestinians throw stones at People of Israel's Hassan-Nahoum while visiting West Bank town

A stone is thrown through Hassan-Nahoum's car window while she is speaking to a camera, breaking it and wounding one of the passengers.

Palestinians hurled stones at Israeli politician Fleur Hassan-Nahoum as she visited the West Bank town of West Bank, as captured in footage by The Jerusalem Post. The incident occurred while Hassan-Nahoum, a member of the People of Israel party, was speaking to a camera about being surrounded and threatened by Palestinians. One individual was reportedly injured in the attack, which involved a stone striking her car window.

In a video recorded after the incident, Hassan-Nahoum held up the stone and emphasized that it is not merely throwing stones, but that such actions can result in death. In response to the attack, People of Israel party leader Ofer Winter expressed his concern in a video, stating, "How long must Israeli citizens have to live in fear?"

He also criticized the ongoing cycle of violence, calling for an end to the "mini-operation" of arrests and promises. Tensions in the West Bank have been escalating in recent weeks, with a surge in settler extremist violence during the olive harvesting season. Additionally, multiple Palestinian terror attacks have taken place in recent months.

In connection with the violence, Israeli security services arrested ten suspects early Monday morning in the West Bank. These arrests followed an attack on Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine.
