Settlers attack Israeli activists on Palestinian land in West Bank as soldiers stand by, NGO says
Extremist settlers attacked Israeli activists on privately owned Palestinian land while soldiers stood by without intervening, a watchdog says.
One activist was violently thrown to the floor and then kicked, another activist was hit on the head, and two activists had their phones taken and thrown away, Breaking the Silence says.
The left-wing organization says that Israel Defense Forces troops were present but did nothing to intervene in the attacks in At-Tuwani in the South Hebron Hills.
Breaking the Silence says the activists were on privately owned Palestinian land that has been attacked by extremist settlers in the past.
