Palestinian prevents lynching of 5 lost American yeshiva students in Hebron

(Worthy News) - A Palestinian man saved five American yeshiva students from Brooklyn from being lynched in Hebron after they took a wrong turn Thursday on their way to the Cave of the Patriarchs.

The students entered the Palestinian neighborhood of Jabal Johar after having been misdirected there by the navigational system Waze, according to security sources.

Palestinians on the street who saw their car immediately threw stones and a firebomb at the vehicle. The yeshiva students were able to escape from the car before the Palestinians torched it.

A Palestinian resident of the neighborhood helped rescue them and sheltered them in his apartment. [ Source ]
