Hebron, 3 video segments: Soldiers overlook settlers' violent actions, take measures

when Palestinians throw stones.


Published:
20 Aug 2014

On 16 August 2014, after 6:00 P.M., settlers and Palestinians began throwing stones at each other behind the Beit Hadassah settlement in the city of Hebron. The settlers were throwing stones from a spot near a military guard post, yet the soldiers stationed there did nothing to stop them. Nonetheless, the soldiers used crowd control measures against the Palestinians who were throwing stones, and even detained two, one of them a boy.

It is really ugly. The settlers in this area are hard core and the soldiers seem either to fear them or endorse their loathsome behavior.
