From West Bank settlers tried to steal sheep from Palestinian village of Susya, activist group says
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDozens of Israeli settlers are filmed harassing Palestinians in their southern West Bank village earlier today.
The settlers raided Susya from at least five different neighboring illegal outposts and tried to steal sheep as they threatened residents and chased away children returning from school, says Beyond the Herd, a solidarity group of Israeli activists that operates to support at-risk Palestinian villages in the southern West Bank.
Uniformed soldiers photographed at the scene accompanying the settlers attacked one of the Israeli activists who was trying to push back the settlers, while other troops tried to prevent those in Susya from filming the altercation, Beyond the Herd says.
As is often the case in such incidents of settler violence in the West Bank, no arrests were reported.

עשרות מתנחלים, מלפחות חמישה מאחזים שונים, פשטו היום על הכפר סוסיא. הם עברו בין הבתים ודירי הצאן, ניסו לגנוב כבשים, איימו על תושבים, רדפו אחר הילדים בזמן ששבו מבית הספר ואיימו עליהם עם אבנים. הטילו אימה על הכפר כולו. pic.twitter.com/5zfsy24JBX— מחוץ לעדר (@masafering) December 11, 2024
