OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)--

An angry mob of illegal Israeli Jewish settlers assaulted Thursday night a Palestinian man while he was walking down Hillel Street in West Jerusalem until he lost consciousness.

The victim’s family said he was staying in intensive care in the Hadasa Ain Karim Hospital.

They added that the victim Fareed Kamil Al-Toubasi was left in very difficult health condition after he received several violent blows to various parts of the body, including the head and chest. He was able to wake for a few moments and would again lose consciousness. No future effects of the injuries have been identified.

Toubasi’s brother, who was able to talk with him Saturday, said that after he finished his work Thursday at midnight, an extremist settler attacked him and began screaming: “This is an Arab…This is an Arab.” He then pushed him down to the ground when he tumbled down a stairs, and more than 30 Jewish settlers attacked him and dragged him to an empty square and beat, insulted, and threatened him.

The attackers deliberately left Toubasi near a waste container where he was found by a Jerusalem man and taken to the hospital.
