At the same time, a disaster was averted when Arab terrorists clashed with IDF forces protecting the Jewish worshipers and a soldier in the IDF’s Givati unit accidentally fired a bullet towards a comrade while traveling in a protected vehicle.

The bullet was stopped by the soldier’s protective vest, and the soldier suffered only very light injuries.
