Video out of Nablus shows two German tourists getting attacked by a mob of Palestinians, believing they were Israeli citizens.

Two German tourists got a very welcoming greeting by Palestinians when they entered the city of Nablus. Nablus is in area A of the Disputed territories in the nation of Israel. Area A based upon the Oslo accords refers to the areas governed by the Palestinian Authority and they are responsible for security and policing action in the area. The Palestinians are known to become extremely violent if they believe an Israeli or any property owned by Israelis enters the city. There are very famous red signs warning Israelis to not enter area A zones of control because the of Palestinian Authority laws forbidding any Jew or Israeli from entering, living, or working in the zone, and that the Israeli government cannot guarantee their safety.

The two German tourists were targeted because the car had Israeli license plates and an Israeli flag on it. This caused a mob to form and attack the vehicle and it’s occupants with bricks as well as their fists and feet, while speaking with Palestinian Police while they were attempting to navigate Middle East traffic. The two were able to escape the mob and leave Nablus while Pro-Hamas Telegrams could be seen celebrating the attack on the German tourists for “Stopping Normalization” .
