Two Israeli settlers are charged with terror offenses for attacking Palestinians in the West Bank town of Huwara with an axe and stones, law enforcement officials say.
According to the Shin Bet security agency, Hanoch Rabin, from the illegal Givat Ronen outpost, and Raz Giron, from the hardline settlement of Yitzhar, were detained by police on March 13 over the attack a week earlier on March 6.
During the incident, which was captured by surveillance cameras, a number of masked settlers are seen hurling stones at Palestinians in Huwara.
At one point, one settler is seen attacking a car with Palestinians using an axe.
The indictment against the pair includes various terror charges.
The Shin Bet accuses Rabin and Giron of being part of a “violent group that aims to harm Palestinians as well as to disrupt the activities of the security forces in dealing with foiling Palestinian terror and maintaining public peace in the area.”
