Settlers stormed the Arab al-Malihat area, northwest of Jericho, on Thursday evening and sprayed pepper gas on a number of foreign activists and residents of the community.

According to local sources, a group of settlers on horseback stormed the gathering and sprayed pepper gas at a number of citizens and peace activists who were demonstrating in solidarity with the residents.

This attack is part of a continuing series of violations against Bedouin communities, aimed at undermining the resilience of Palestinians in the Jordan Valley.
