HEBRON, August 29, 2017 (WAFA) – Israeli settlers Tuesday threw rocks and glass bottles at Palestinian homes in the area of Um al-Khair, east of Yatta in the occupied West Bank, local sources said.

Rateb al-Jabour, a local activist, told WAFA that settlers from the illegal settlement of Carmel threw stones at homes for the Hathalin family in the Bedouin community of Um al-Khair in Masafer Yatta, terrifying children and causing damage to some of them.

Suleiman Hathalin said his family is regularly attacked by the settlers who try to push them out of their land in order to seize it and expand their settlement.

Jabour said the Israeli occupation authorities handed last week seven demolition orders to the Dababseh family in Khirbet Khillet al-Dabe, also in the Masafer Yatta area. Two illegal Jewish settlement outposts, Maon and Havat Maon, located near the Bedouin village want to expand at the expense of Khillet al-Dabe.
