BETHLEHEM, May 29, 2018 (WAFA) – Israeli forces Tuesday distributed leaflets threatening residents in the village of al-Khader, south of the West Bank district of Bethlehem, that they will suffer from collective punishment in the event they continued to throw rocks at Israeli soldiers and ‘endanger the lives of [illegal] settlers, said a local activist.

Ahmad Salah, coordinator of the Anti-Settlement Committee in the village, told WAFA a military force stormed the old town of the village and distributed leaflets threatening residents of collective punishments, including repeated raids on their houses and arrest campaigns.

Forces reportedly patrolled the streets and neighborhoods of the village, chased down youth, detained a number of them and subjected them to interrogation after inspecting their identity cards.
