HEBRON, March 10, 2018 (WAFA) – Dozens of Israeli Jewish settlers Saturday attacked the village of al-Tuwwaneh, in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, according to local sources.

Rateb Jabour, coordinator of the anti-settlements popular committee in southern Hebron, told WAFA that a group of settlers from the illegal Israeli settlements of Ma’on and Havat Ma’on attacked the village under Israeli army protection and threw stones at the defenseless Palestinians.

He said residents got into a brawl with the settlers and Israeli soldiers fired tear gas and stun grenades at the village residents causing several cases of suffocation due to inhaling gas.

Jabour said the settlers uprooted 18 olive trees in the village and broke the glass of two vehicles as well as causing damage to the car body.
