A group of Zionist settlers have physically assaulted a Palestinian
woman and her young children in the Old City of al-Khalil (Hebron) in
southern West Bank.
The assault occurred on Saturday when the illegal settlers waged an
attack on Palestinian homes in the Old City’s Tel Rumeida neighborhood,
Ma’an news agency reported citing an al-Khalil-based rights organization
called Human Rights Defenders.
The report further quoted the group’s spokesman, Badee Dweik as
saying that the Palestinian woman, Mirvat Abu Tuama, was walking home
with her children Hazim, 10, Rahaf, 8, Lujayn, 5, and Liyan, 4, when a
group of Israeli settlers chased and assaulted them.
According to Dweik, the attacking settlers also attacked the home of
Yasser Abu Markhiyya in Tel Rumeida by hurling stones at it.
This is while another group of settlers attacked a Palestinian female
teenager Madlin Abu Shamsiyya while she tried to film them as they were
attacking the home of another area resident, Itidal Qiwar.
The latest attack by the Zionist settlers comes less than a week
after another group of the Israeli occupiers harassed a delegation
touring al-Khalil’s Old City that included the head of the Palestinian
National Union for Football, Jibril al-Rajoub, and South African
politician and anti-racism activist, Tokyo Sexwale, the report added.
Nearly 700 settlers live in 80 homes in the center of al-Khalil, surrounded by nearly 200,000 Palestinians.
The settlements, illegal under international law, remain protected by
the Israeli military forces in the tightly controlled city, where many
streets are off limits to Palestinians.
