Israeli settlers today assaulted two Palestinian siblings from the town of Deir Jarir, east of Ramallah, and stole their vehicle, according to the head of Deir Jarir village council, Fathi Hamdan. He told WAFA that settlers severely assaulted Basil Abu Harzan and his brother Wael while they were plowing their land in an area east of the town, causing them bruises, before stealing their vehicle. He said the settlers fired bullets in the air to threaten those present in the area, stressing that the settlers’ attacks are part of a scheme to seize lands in that area to turn them into pastures for their livestock. Yesterday, settlers assaulted three siblings from the town of Silwad while they were working in Deir Jarir, stole a survey device from them, and wrecked their private vehicle.
