Israeli settler assaults Palestinian child in Al-Khalil

Yesterday, a Palestinian woman aborted after being a subject for a similar assault



Witnesses said that an Israeli settler aged around 45 approached the Palestinian child while he was returning back home from school and his him several times with a thick stick.

The boy was identified as Yusef Qafisha, 10. Medical sources said that he suffered several bruises in his body. However, his condition is not critical.

According to the witnesses, the incident took place near to Al-Ibrahimi Mosque in the heart of the occupied Palestinian city.

Around 700 settlers live in 80 homes in the centre of Al-Khalil, surrounded by nearly 200,000 Palestinians. The homes are owned by Palestinians, but usurped by the settlers.

Many other illegal Israeli Jewish-only settlements are located inside and around the Palestinian city. Several main and minor roads in the city are specified only for the use of settlers. This deteriorates the life of Palestinians.

Palestinian children are assaulted every single day by illegal settlers, from stoning them, to knifing them, to running them over. It has become normal.

I agree if they have it is so out of order, but is the story true sassy?
I hear recently that settlers cut down 800 trees and stole them in the middle of the night.
800, how many lorries would that have taken, let alone people cutting them down?
You see how stories are fabricated?
Apologies if this is not, but you always take them as gospel and why?
because you want anything, just anything you can use to promote hate against Israel.
That is fucked up, and the worst kind of hate, on a par with racism

Oh my word, 800 trees. You have no idea how many they cut down and burn every day, and people don't live near their tress and they have to cross checkpoints to get to them.

Israeli settlers have reportedly set fire to a Palestinian olive grove in the occupied West Bank, destroying up to 250 trees.

Local Palestinian sources said the attack occurred north of the city of al-Khalil (Hebron), on Monday.

The fresh assault comes a day after Israeli settlers vandalized around 80 acres of land planted with olive saplings near the town of al-Shuyoukh, situated northeast of al-Khalil.

According to Palestinian sources, over 800,000 olive trees have been uprooted by Israeli settlers since 1967.

This is while the olive industry is a main source of income for many Palestinian families.

Settlers, mostly armed, regularly attack Palestinian villages and farms and set fire to their mosques, olive groves and other properties in the West Bank under the so-called “price tag” policy.

It's nothing new.


Thousands of olive trees have been damaged and destroyed in attacks by illegal Jewish settlers across the occupied West Bank in 2013. The damning statistics have been revealed by Al-Tadamun Foundation for Human Rights.

"Settlers' attacks include uprooting, burning and cutting down olive trees," said the human rights group. "Olive groves were also flooded by wastewater from the settlements." By the end of December 2013, it added, an estimated 8,000 trees, some of them hundreds of years old, had been damaged and destroyed altogether. "We have been unable to count the hundreds of trees damaged in groves close to settlements due to Israeli security measures," Al-Tadamun pointed out.

The group's annual report shows an increase in the frequency of such attacks by Jewish settlers as well as their use of more sophisticated equipment, including chemicals used to burn the trees. According to villagers south of Nablus, settlers from Yitzhar and Bracha settlements used chemicals several times, notably to burn 1,500 trees in early June. More than 49 acres of prime agricultural land were destroyed in the resultant blaze, with losses reaching $1 million.

In Nablus itself, Al-Tadamun documented 24 incidents of settler-vandalism; almost 5,300 olive trees were destroyed. In other parts of the West Bank, more than 1,100 trees were destroyed in Bethlehem; 600 trees in Qalqilya; 468 in Hebron; 350 in occupied Jerusalem; and 150 in Ramallah, the seat of the Palestinian Authority.

According to Al-Tadamun, settler attacks were concentrated in the countryside south of Nablus, specifically in the villages of Awarta, Qasra, Urif, Burin, Asira El-Qebliah and Hawara. All are exposed by the Israeli army's security guarantees for settlers.

The human rights body added that settlers usually launch their attacks on trees before or during the harvest season, or once farmers have completed the harvest. This year the total number of trees targeted during the harvest season as 2,000; they were chopped down at night by settlers using chainsaws.

Not only have the settlers attacked mature trees, but they also uprooted around 1,400 seedlings that had been planted just days earlier. Most of the key attacks on seedlings took place in Jerusalem, where the fields were flooded with wastewater.

Research and observations suggest that attacks by settlers on olive trees are usually part of a pattern aimed at driving the farmers from their land. The settler movement has a wider agenda of ever more settlement expansion on occupied Palestinian land, in breach of international law. Attacks and vandalism accompany construction projects intended to restrict farmers' access to their land. Palestinians in the occupied West Bank are subject to military law by the Israelis and need permission from the army to move around. They are also banned from cultivating their own land adjacent to settlements and military bases, which are dotted all over the West Bank.

Al-Tadamun called on official and human rights organisations to take legal action against the settlers in the hope that lawsuits will act as a deterrent and prevent future attacks. The foundation also called on the Palestinian Authority to pay more attention to the agricultural sector and allocate larger budgets for the Ministry of Agriculture so that it can support farmers and compensate them for the damages caused as a result of settler-vandalism.
