Israeli settlers heavily beat a Palestinian boy at nightfall Thursday as he strolled down the mountains of Jenin province.
Mayor of Jenin’s town of Silat al-Dhurh said 16-year-old Iyad Salama was aggressively beaten by Israeli settlers as he went for a walk with his friends on the mountains of Silat al-Dhuhr.
The boy sustained bruises all over his entire body as a result of the violent beating he had been made to endure.
Nearly 700000 Israeli settlers live in 42 settlement outposts illegally built on Palestinian lands in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem. The settlements make up 46% of the overall area of West Bank land.
