Jewish settlers pelt Palestinian cars near Jenin

Jewish settlers threw stones on passing Palestinian vehicles along the Jenin-Nablus road on Wednesday night and damaged a number of them, locals said.

One of the drivers, Mohammed Naji, told the PIC that settlers, who were gathering near the evacuated Homesh settlement, threw rocks at passing cars including his.

He said that he miraculously escaped death after stones broke his car’s windshield and his car went off the road.

Naji charged the Israeli occupation forces, who were standing nearby, with not budging to stop the settlers.

He said that the settlers even detained a number of cars and blocked the road.

Locals said that another citizen from Yabad village, Nizar Abu Bakir, survived a similar attack when the stones and empty bottles thrown by those settlers smashed his car’s windows.

Jewish settlers assault an old man and his son

Jewish settlers from Kiryat Arba settlement in Al-Khalil attacked an old man and his son while farming their land in Al-Khalil, the son told the PIC reporter on Saturday.

He said that his 63-year-old father Shaker Al-Tamimi was carried to hospital after ten settlers attacked them in their field on Friday evening.

The son, 19, said that the settlers uprooted dozens of olive trees and other plantations in their land and nearby fields spreading fear among the women and children who were in those fields.

He said that land owners have complained to the Israeli occupation government regarding those repeated attacks, which also targeted their livestock, but their complaints fell on deaf ears.
