Sunday 10-September-2017

An elderly woman on Saturday evening suffered injuries when extremist Jewish settlers hurled stones at her in the Old City of al-Khalil south of the West Bank.

Her son Muntaser al-Tamimi told WAFA News Agency that settlers threw stones at his 55-year-old mother Hala Abu Rajab as she was on the balcony of her house and wounded her in the face.

Tamimi said his mother was rushed to al-Khalil Hospital for medical assistance.

He affirmed that hundreds of settlers some of them armed came from nearby outposts and settlements in al-Khalil and rallied outside their house in the Old City.

He added that the settlers acted like thugs and shouted death threats and offensive remarks at his relatives inside the house which caused extreme panic among women and children.

The house is located near the Israeli military roadblock known locally as Abul-Rish which leads to the Ibrahimi Mosque in the Old City of al-Khalil.
