Israeli settlers attack farmers in Masafer Yatta, Hebron

Today, Tuesday, settlers attacked farmers in Masafer Yatta, preventing them from plowing their lands.

Local sources said that a group of settlers attacked farmers from the Alyan, Abu Eid, Al-Shawahin, and Abu Hamid families, while plowing their lands threatened with seizure in the “Al-Thaala” area in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron.

The occupation forces, which came to protect the settlers, closed the area and declared it “closed military,” and detained a number of farmers, including Ibrahim Abu Eid and Hussein Al-Shawaheen, and abused them and searched them in a humiliating manner.

The settlers, under the protection of the occupation forces, continue to pursue farmers in all communities in Al-Musafer, in order to impose their control over more lands for the benefit of settlement.
