Palestinian terrorists on Sunday fired on Mevo Dotan in northern Samaria, causing damage to a vehicle at the entrance to the Jewish community.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s Jenin branch claimed responsibility for the attack.

There were no reports of injuries.

The Israel Defense Forces launched a search for the perpetrators.

Earlier this month, Palestinian terrorists fired in the direction of the northern Israeli town of Gan Ner following a roadside dispute in which a Jewish resident of the town shot and killed an Arab Israeli.

PIJ’s Jenin wing claimed responsibility for that attack, releasing a video purportedly showing the town from a distance before gunshots are heard as ominous music is played in the background.

In April, terrorist gunfire damaged several homes in Kibbutz Ma’ale Gilboa, located on the northeast end of the ridge of the Samarian hills in Israel.

PIJ released unverified footage allegedly showing its members firing at an Israeli community from beyond the Green Line.

The suspect faces assault, menacing, aggravated harassment and weapons charges, an NYPD spokesperson told JNS.
Counterterrorism raids launched in over 400 locations throughout Judea and Samaria.
“Attacks on Christians continue to escalate worldwide and must be stopped,” U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz wrote.
“One cannot attribute statements to me that I never made, nor portray me to millions of people as someone who justifies the killing of children,” Sarai Givaty said.
