A Palestinian man and his three children have sustained injuries when a group of extremist settlers forcibly pelted their car with stones in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.
Local sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the Palestinian Information Center that Munder Mousa, a native of the city of Tulkarem, and his children were traveling along a road south of Nablus, about 49 kilometers north of Jerusalem al-Quds When settlers from Yitzhar, who had ambushed, stones began to sway to the car.
The settlers also used a vehicle to block the road before they carried out their attack.
Mousa finally managed to drive away with his children. He arrived in the Madama village, located at 4.78 kilometers south of Nablus, and received first aid before being transported to the Rafidia hospital in Nablus.
"When I returned from Ramallah to Tulkarem, I and my children were attacked by at least 15 masked Israeli settlers who blocked the road in front of us and surrounded the vehicle and prevented us from moving." Mousa said.
He added that Israeli settlers began throwing stones and empty glass bottles to the vehicle, causing him and his three children injured.
Separately, Israeli settlers pierced the tires of 15 cars and sprayed racist and anti-Arab slogans on the walls of several houses in the al-Issawiya district of Jerusalem al-Quds.
Settlers, usually armed, regularly attack Palestinian villages and farms, and their mosques, olive groves and other properties in the West Bank burned under the so-called "price tag policy" & # 39; .
Price tag attacks are acts of vandalism and violence against Palestinians and their property, as well as Islamic holy places by Israeli settlers.
Israel has reportedly uprooted more than 800,000 olive trees in the occupied Palestinian territories since 1967.
More than half a million Israelis live in more than 120 settlements built since Israel's occultation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank in 1967. This while a large part of the international community considers the settler units as illegal and is subject to the Geneva Conventions, which forbid construction on occupied land.
