Extremist Israeli settlers attempted on Friday to raid the village of Khan al-Ahmar east of Jerusalem which is facing an imminent threat of demolition by the Israeli occupation authorities before they were confronted by Palestinian protesters.
Palestinians who were on a vigil in Khan al-Ahmar stood up to the settlers who were attempting to assault the village.
Meanwhile hundreds of Palestinians continue to maintain vigil in Khan al-Ahmar to protest Israeli attempts to displace the locals and demolish their village.
Palestinians have been holding regular support rallies in the village home to 80 Palestinian families since Israel announced in June its intention to demolish it in order to build a Jewish-only settlement on its ruins.
