AL-KHALIL (PIC)– Jewish settlers arrived in buses to an area to the east of Yatta in Al-Khalil province on Tuesday night and performed Talmudic rituals local sources said.
They said that the settlers offered prayers at a 100 dunums area of land where they claim contain Jewish relics. This is the first time they arrive in this area for that purpose.
In the same area the settlers attacked a number of Palestinian shepherds and beat one of them on the head earlier Tuesday.
Rateb Al-Jabour the coordinator of popular committees in Yatta said that the 45-year-old man was hospitalized adding that fistfights erupted between the settlers and the shepherds.
He noted that Israeli occupation forces arrived to the scene to back the settlers and arrested three shepherds.
