A horde of extremist Jewish settlers assaulted on Sunday Palestinian shepherds in Kisan village east of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.
According to local sources settlers from the illegal settlement of Ma’ale Amos assaulted two sisters and one man from the family of Abiyat and set dogs on them.
No one of the shepherds was reportedly hurt in the settler attack but they had to leave and go home with their cattle.
The settlers also brought their cattle from the settlements of Ibei Hanahal and Ma’ale Amos and let them graze in the area.
The number of Israeli settlements in the West Bank is 199 in addition to 220 outposts inhabited by 913000 settlers — including 350000 settlers in east Jerusalem.
