According to the Arabs several rocks were thrown at them from the direction of the Jewish residents.
Border policemen arrived at the scene and arrested “M”, the resident of Itamar whom the Arab tractor driver tried to run over. The police claimed that “M” threw a rock at the tractor driver, however he claimed that he raised the rock after the driver started to drive towards him, and that was in order to prevent the driver from running him over. “M” denied that he threw the rock. It should be noted that no action was taken against the Arab driver.
At the end of the investigation at the Ariel police station the police investigators informed Honenu attorney Adi Kedar that “M” will remain in remand for the night, and the following morning the police will decide whether or not to bring him to court.
