Zionist NGO Regavim condemned the recent attack against a delegation of theirs accompanying pro-Israel influencers into the Palestinian village of Turmus Ayya in the West Bank, describing it as an attempted lynching.
During what Regavim called an "educational tour" for international influencers in the West Bank, Palestinians gathered around their vehicles, with one thrown rock smashing a car window and causing content creator Cindy Seni to be lightly wounded.
"We were just in our car minding our own business when a very aggressive man speaking perfect English started harassing us and being aggressive," Seni said.
"He forced us to leave by blocking the entry, and as we were leaving, we had this concrete thrown at us. If our driver hadn't told us to lower our heads, I don't know where we would be today. He saved our lives. This is the reality that we face in Israel every day, but you'll never hear it in the news."
In video footage released by Regavim, a Palestinian man from the village in a vehicle is seen addressing the tour group as they try to enter the village, telling them that they cannot enter by themselves and must have someone else accompany them.
The video then cuts to the Regavim vehicle being blocked from entering the village and to Palestinian youths following the group on bikes and filming them.

The video then shows the window of the vehicle being smashed as Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, fifth on the People of Israel party’s list, speaks about the aggression the group was shown.
"It was horrifying to be attacked by a group of terrorists for the mere fact that we were there," she said afterward.
"This is the reality that the residents of Judea and Samaria experience on a daily basis."
“This is the ‘innocent 12-year-olds and 13-year-olds,’” Hassan-Nahoum said while holding up the stone that was thrown through her car window in another video recorded shortly after the attack. “This kills. It’s not just throwing stones; this kills.”
Regavim called on Israeli security forces to bring the responsible parties to justice, and emphasized its determination to continue conducting similar tours for influencers, journalists, and opinion leaders in the West Bank.
Among the other influencers present at the incident were Bellamy Belucci, Hallel Silverman, Golda Daphna, Jessica Cohen, and Avi Abelow.
