Escalation in the West Bank: Seven Palestinians Injured in Settler Assault North of Hebron

Seven Palestinians were injured on Thursday as a result of an attack by Israeli settlers in the towns of Halhul and Beit Ummar, north of Hebron.

Armed groups of settlers from the Karmei Tzur settlement, built on Palestinian land, assaulted a group of farmers with stones, clubs, and toxic pepper spray as the farmers attempted to access their land in the Wardan area between Beit Ummar and Halhul. The attack resulted in seven people sustaining injuries, bruises, and fainting episodes.

They were transported by ambulance crews to the Mahmoud Abbas Governmental Hospital in the town of Halhul.اضافة اعلان
