The B’Tselem human rights organization publishes footage from an attack last night against the Palestinian hamlet of Susiya in the South Hebron Hills region of the West Bank, apparently by Israeli extremists, likely settlers from nearby settlements.

Assailants punched holes into a water tank, and punctured the tires and smashed the windows of a car.

According to B’Tselem, several homes were attacked including that of Nasser Nawaj’ah, a B’Tselem field researcher who lives in Susiya.

Rural Palestinian communities in the West Bank have been hit by a wave of extremist attacks over the last month, with numerous incidents of arson, vandalism and assault.

Susiya itself has been repeatedly attacked by extremist settlers in recent years.
