Jewish settlers escorted by Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) on Saturday attacked a number of foreign solidarity activists during a sit-in held in protest at settlers’ repeated attacks against Um al-Khair village southeast of al-Khalil city.
Coordinator of Popular Resistance against Segregation Wall and Settlement Ratib al-Jabour said that the fanatic settlers assaulted participants in the sit-in including seven foreign activists resulting in the injury of one of them who was taken to hospital.
Um al-Khair village has been subjected to settlers’ daily attacks since the beginning of September. The attacks are usually carried out at night and aim at forcing the inhabitants to leave their lands so that it would be annexed to Karmiel settlement which was illegally established over Palestinian lands.
