OCCUPIED JERUSALEM (PIC)– Jewish settlers attacked on Saturday a Palestinian woman and her daughter while walking in Sharaf Gate in the Old City of occupied Jerusalem Palestinian sources said.
Ayoub Abu Wahdan confirmed that his wife and daughter Ala19 were subjected to a racist attack by Jewish settlers while on their way to their home in the Mughrabi Gate in Silwan neighborhood south of al-Aqsa Mosque.
The racial attack occurred when the mother and her daughter passed beside a number of Jewish extremists standing near a model of the alleged Temple where one of them tried to pull the veil from Ala’s head and sprayed the two of them with gas before fleeing causing them burns over their faces the father told Quds Press.
Abu Wahdan pointed out to the settlers’ escalating attacks in Sharaf Gate adding that he had made a complaint to the Israeli police who do not deal seriously with these attacks leading to their escalation.
The attack came in light of the Israeli “attempts to terrorize the Jerusalemites in order to force them to leave the city especially the girls because they wore Islamic dress” he added.
Abu Wahdan called on the Israeli police to investigate the attack on his daughter and wife through cameras installed in the scene.
Human rights reports in Jerusalem confirmed that Jewish extremists’ attacks against Palestinian citizens have escalated especially against girls who wear Islamic dress.
The attack came two weeks after a similar racial attack against Palestinian woman Hana Mtir where Jewish extremists have removed her veil.
