Settlers attack Palestinian farmers, rights group says
Israeli settlers descended from the direction of the Esh Kodesh outpost toward a group of farmers working their land on the outskirts of the Palestinian town of Qusra and began pelting the Palestinians with stones, the Yesh Din rights group says.
After the sides began fighting, Israeli forces arrived and used riot dispersal measure including stun grenades and tear gas to distance the Palestinians.
Two farmers were evacuated to a nearby hospital for tear-gas inhalation treatment, Yesh Din reports.
