Illegal Israeli settlers from the illegal Yetshar settlement in the northern West Bank on Friday afternoon seriously wounded a seven-year-old girl who was travelling with her family in a car in the area.

The settlers threw a rock at the car as it passed near the settlement. The rock broke the window and hit the girl and her mother who was lightly wounded. Both the girl and her mother were taken to a hospital in Nablus.

Attacks by Israeli settlers, who are usually armed, on Palestinian civilians have increased in all areas in the West Bank. They usually take the form of attacking Palestinians working their fields or Palestinian cars travelling near the settlements.

Hebron – Ma'an –

Five Palestinians were injured on Friday evening after illegal Israeli settlers attacked a wedding party in the southern West Bank city of Hebron.

Israeli settlers occupying a house belonging to Al-Rajabi family pelted the wedding party with stones and empty bottles, injuring Ramzi Al-Ja'abari, Fadi Al-Ja'abari and a woman from Al-Ja'abari family, according to Bassam Al-Jabir, an eyewitness who lives near the Israeli settlement Kiryat Arba'a. Al-Jabir also reported that the settlers attacked the home of Palestinian magistrate judge Muntder Da'ana with stones.

Israeli soldiers brutally beat 'Issa Amr and Jamal Issa'aifan, Al-Jabir added, confiscating three cameras provided by the Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem.

Furthermore, Israeli forces arrested Fahid Al-Ja'bari for several hours before releasing him on bail of 2000 NIS.

These assaults came as a reaction to Israeli forces removing a tent which settlers erected on Palestinian land belonging to Ziyad Al-Jabir and Mahmoud Al-Bouti near the illegal Israeli settlement of Kiryat Arba'a, according to the local Ma'an correspondent. Settlers erected two new tents on the same location after the first tent was removed.
