Masked assailants attacked activists helping Palestinians in the village of Mukhmas, north of Jerusalem, today.

In a video, the assailants can be seen spraying pepper spray at one of the activists and smashing the vehicle’s windows. An activist who requested to remain anonymous tells The Times of Israel that no one was injured in the incident.

Construction was carried out in the area yesterday, apparently aimed at establishing a new illegal settler outpost there, close to where Bedouins reside on the outskirts of the village.

The location was recently declared a closed military zone by the IDF after repeated attempts, reportedly by settlers, to set fire to the Bedouins’ homes.
