HEBRON, Friday, January 01, 2021 (WAFA) - Hardcore Israeli settlers assaulted Palestinian herders today while they were grazing their sheep in the area of Al-Thaala, near the town of Yatta in the occupied West Bank district of Hebron, according to witnesses.
Rateb Jabour, a local official in charge of monitoring attacks in the area by colonial Israeli settlers, told WAFA that a group of hardcore Israeli settlers assaulted herders and their sheep with stones and clubs, and denied them access into pasture land for grazing livestock.
The area is part of Masafer Yatta, a collection of about 19 nomadic Bedouin hamlets that rely heavily on livestock husbandry as a main source of living.
Settler attacks against Palestinians in the area is commonplace, and often occur in the presence of the Israeli occupation military.
