Dozens of Palestinian Authority Arabs from the town of Asira el-Kabilya marched on the neighboring Jewish town of Yitzhar on Tuesday afternoon. Spokesman Avraham Binyamin told Arutz Sheva that the IDF was on its way.

Earlier in the day IDF soldiers stopped a similar march on Yitzhar from a second PA town, Urif.

The PA has warned of massivedemonstrations scheduled to coincide with its bid for United Nations recognition as a state. However, the handful of demonstrations reported thus far have been small, and were quickly over.

According to reports that reached Arutz Sheva on Tuesday, IDF commanders in the Binyamin region told soldiers that they are not to shoot at Arab protesters’ torsos even if Arab mobs do begin to overrun Jewish communities. Instead, soldiers should shoot at protesters’ legs, they said. Read the rest on: Arutz7
