OCCUPIED JERUSALEM -- Palestinian sources in Jerusalem said Jewish settlers on Friday
night attacked buses carrying 100 Palestinian children participating in
a summer camp organized by Health Work Committees in Silwan in occupied
Jerusalem.
Health Work Committees pointed in a press release on Saturday
that the camp includes a group of children between 7 and 12 years old, a
number of them had been previously arrested in the occupations jails.
The settlers threw stones at the buses, breaking their windows and terrorizing the children.
The
committees condemned the attack and called for "providing protection
for the Palestinian people and children from settlers' violence in
occupied Palestine, committed under the protection of the occupation
army."
In al-Khalil, another group of Israeli settlers attacked on Thursday evening a Palestinian civilian near Yatta, and fled the scene in the absence of the occupation forces, locals reported.
They added that the citizen sustained wounds as the settlers threw stones at him and was taken to hospital for treatment.
Jewish settlers set on Thursday fire to agricultural lands in the archaeological area of Sebastia near the city of Nablus in the north of the West Bank.
Na'el
Shaer, Sebastia's mayor, said that groups of settlers from the
settlement of Shavei Shomron built on the town's land set fire to
agricultural land, damaging large stretches of land, including land
planted with olives and almond trees.
He
added that the settlers have been continuously targeting the town as it
represents an archaeological and historical area, noting that they had
previously destroyed crops after pumping wastewater into the cultivated
lands.
