A group of Israeli settlers on Monday morning attacked a Palestinian family in al-Ma’rajat Bedouin community near al-Taybeh village northeast of Ramallah city.
Head of the Bedouin community Ali Mlihat told Quds Press that scores of Israeli settlers assaulted his sons while they were working in their farmlands early in the morning.
Mlihat said that the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) later arrived in the place and detained his four sons Mohammed Khalif Tayel and Omar after the settlers claimed that they were the ones who attacked them.
He added that his sons were transferred to an unknown destination and that he has not been allowed to see them yet.
A number of Israeli settlers about ten days ago attacked other Palestinian families in the same area. The IOF soldiers usually provide protection to the settlers in such incidents.
