AL-KHALIL, (PIC)-- Jewish settlers from Susiya settlement assaulted Palestinian farmers in Yatta town, south of Al-Khalil, on Saturday.

The village’s national committee against settlement said in a statement that a group of settlers attacked the farmers and expelled them out of their land under protection of Israeli occupation forces.

It noted that the settlers’ growing attacks recently coincided with the IOF increasing demolition and evacuation notices in addition to blocking Palestinians from passing through main roads in the region.
