HEBRON, Thursday, October 19, 2023 (WAFA) – Israeli colonist settlers today attacked Palestinians in Masafer Yatta, south of the southern West Bank city of Hebron, and attempted to kidnap a baby in the Jordan Valley.
Sources in Masafer Yatta said two people were injured after settlers threw rocks at them when they tried to fend off the settlers who attempted to force them to leave their lands while picking olives.
Settlers also attacked Palestinians in Khirbat al-Farsieh in the northern Jordan Valley and attempted to kidnap a baby, according to the head of al-Maleh village council Mahdi Daraghme.
He said the settlers broke into the tent of one of hamlet’s residents and attempted to snatch a one-year-old baby girl from her mother and took her to their vehicle before they were confronted by the residents and solidarity activists who were able to save the baby and return her to her mother.
