A left-wing activist group publishes footage it says was taken earlier today showing young Israeli settlers raiding the southern West Bank village of Susya hurling stones and destroying property.
Several residents and a dog were wounded after being struck by stones says Beyond the Herd, a solidarity group of Israeli activists that operates to support at-risk Palestinian villages in the southern West Bank.
Beyond the Herd says 20 settlers took part in the attack and that police waited until the settlers left after the 30-minute attack before arriving at the scene.
As is almost always the case in such incidents of settler violence, no arrests were made.
Israel’s failure to crack down on the phenomenon has led the US and other Western countries to begin issuing sanctions against settler extremists over the past year.

כעשרים מתנחלים פלשו הבוקר לכפר סוסיא, זרקו אבנים, פלשו לחצרות הבתים וזרעו הרס. מספר תושבים וגם כלב נפגעו מהאבנים. המתנחלים חירבו גינות ירק, שברו עציצים, קרעו שקי מזון לצאן וגרמו נזק רב לציוד בכפר. pic.twitter.com/woK2BDsyBz— מחוץ לעדר (@masafering) December 21, 2024
