Between the bullets of the occupation soldiers and the violence of the settlers.. a worker injured and "Khillet al-Sidra" in Jerusalem militarily closed

A worker was injured by the bullets of the occupation forces north of Jerusalem, while settlers launched an attack on the Bedouin community of "Khillet al-Sidra" near the town of Mikhmas, north of Jerusalem, causing extensive damage to homes, barns, solar panels, and surveillance cameras.

The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that its crews received the worker, who was injured by live bullets below the knee, at the Qalandia military checkpoint after he crossed the apartheid and expansion wall in the town of Al-Ram. Medical teams then transported him to Ramallah Hospital for treatment.

For its part, the Jerusalem Governorate confirmed that the attack comes after the occupation forces stormed the community, forced foreign solidarity activists to leave it, and declared the area a "closed military zone" for one year, delivering a decision to those present prohibiting anyone from entering the community during this period.

The Governorate added that a field visit was conducted to the community in cooperation with partner institutions, including the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, to assess the damage and initial needs of the citizens, while working to provide the necessary materials for rebuilding the damaged homes. However, the military closure decision will hinder the entry of these materials into the community.

A previous attack by settlers on the community had resulted in injuries to several citizens and foreign solidarity activists, in addition to the burning of several homes and two vehicles.
