Extremist settlers attack Palestinian kids in Hebron
A group of extremist Israeli settlers assaulted Palestinian kids this evening while they were playing in the vicinity of their houses in the Old City of Hebron, south of the occupied West Bank, local sources reported.
Local rights activist, Manal Da’na, said in a press release that the settlers physically attacked and beat up a number of kids below the age of ten while playing outside their family houses.
She said an Israeli troops force which later came to the scene of the raid to secure the route the attacking settlers out of the scene fired teargas canisters and stun grenades at the houses of residents.
Israeli settler violence against Palestinians and their property is ordinary action by settlers in the West Bank and is seldom charged by Israeli occupation authorities.
There are more than 600,000 Israeli settlers living in colonial settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in transgression of international law.
