Foreign pro-Palestinian activists attacked by Israeli settlers in northern West Bank [View all]

Footage emerges of Israeli citizens, reportedly from the illegal settlement of Esh Kodesh, assaulting and beating international pro-Palestinian activists in the northern West Bank, injuring several of them.

Video footage shows a group of men, some masked but others with their faces visible and sporting long pe’ot, or sidelocks, and tzitzit, attacking the activists and beating them with wooden clubs.

According to the “Staring the Occupation in the Face” organization, which campaigns against the settlements, the Israeli assailants came down from Esh Kodesh to attack the activists who were planting olive trees in the land around the Palestinian town of Qusra, south of Nablus.



The IDF forces did not arrest the assailants because they fled the scene, nor did they report the incident to the police, since some of them were masked.
