Israelis assault Palestinian farmer at site of evacuated settlement — rights group
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleRoughly half a dozen Israelis assaulted a Palestinian farmer near Homesh, a northern West Bank settlement that was evacuated in 2005 as part of the Gaza disengagement, the Yesh Din rights group reports.
The farmer, in his 50s, was beaten with sticks and stones and has been hospitalized at Rafidia Hospital in Nablus, according to Yesh Din.
Yesterday, the IDF lifted an order barring Palestinian farmers from reaching their lands in Homesh which had been in place for 15 years despite the evacuation.
A yeshiva continues to operate on the abandoned hilltop without IDF enforcement.
