Extremist Israeli settlers attacked local Palestinian residents in the West Bank on Friday as well as foreign volunteers who were assisting them, causing multiple injuries, according to Palestinian media reports.
Footage circulated online showed dozens of settlers throwing stones near the village of Abu Falah, some 25 kilometers (15 miles) north of Ramallah in the central West Bank.
Wafa, the Palestinian Authority’s state news agency, asserted that dozens of settlers assaulted the group of locals and foreign activists on the road linking Abu Falah and nearby Turmus Ayya, preventing them from reaching their land.
Another clip showed a Palestinian man holding a stick confronting several settlers while others attempted to separate the sides.
In one video, a settler can be heard telling the Palestinian in Arabic, “Go away,” to which the Palestinian replies, also in Arabic, “This is my land.”
According to Palestinian media, one Palestinian and several foreign volunteers were injured after settlers sprayed them with pepper spray.
