In the occupied West Bank, the United Nations humanitarian affairs office says it’s documented 71 attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians and their property in just one week. Among the victims is a 55-year-old woman who was hospitalized with a brain hemorrhage after she was beaten unconscious by a masked Israeli settler wielding a club. Independent journalist Jasper Nathaniel, who filmed Sunday’s violence against Palestinian olive farmers in the occupied West Bank village of Turmus Aya, compared the Israel settlers’ attack to a “lynch mob.”
Meanwhile, Palestinians have held a funeral for Muhammad al-Hallaq, a 10-year-old who was fatally shot in the pelvis as he fled Israeli soldiers who raided his village south of Hebron last week. He’d been playing soccer in a schoolyard when Israeli military vehicles approached.
