A Jewish settler on Saturday assaulted two Palestinian kids in Jouret al-Ennab area near Bab al-Khalil one of the Old City of Jerusalem’s gates.
Local sources said that the settler attacked the children with pepper spray as they were aboard their father’s car on a road near Bab al-Khalil.
The kids received on-site medical assistance from paramedics.
Incidents of violence and sabotage by extremist Jewish settlers against Palestinians and their property are a daily occurrence throughout Jerusalem and the West Bank.
However Israeli law enforcement authorities exhibit extreme incompetence in addressing such widespread occurrence of settlers’ crimes.
The vast majority of investigation files regarding harm to Palestinians and their property are closed due to deliberate police failure to investigate properly. The deficiencies and flaws in the work of the Israeli police are clearly noticed at every stage of an investigation when the victim is a Palestinian citizen.
