Sunday, October 5, 2025, 11:47 A group of approximately 50 Arab terrorists threw large rocks and metal objects at six Jewish hikers near Carmel in the Har Hevron region yesterday (Shabbat). IDF soldiers arrived on the scene, dispersed the terrorists and rescued the hikers. Four injured hikers suffering from head wounds were transported to Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheva. Honenu is representing the hikers as victims of terror.
Honenu Attorney Daniel Shimshilashvilli commented on the attack: “This was a coordinated ambush in which several hikers were attacked and seriously injured only because they were Jewish. The attack is a significant escalation of terror in the area, and it must be addressed with all due severity. We are providing the victims with legal counsel, and we will ensure that the terrorists are penalized to the full extent of the law.”
