On 24 August 2017, settlers from Kiryat Arba verbally abused
Palestinians in the al-Hariqah neighborhood of Hebron on loudspeaker,
including insults to Islam. When they noticed a B’Tselem volunteer
filming them from her window, they directed racist and obscene language
at her, including threats of extreme sexual violence. Although the
threats were explicit and the swearing constituted severe sexual
harassment, Israeli security forces at the scene allowed the settlers to
continue undisturbed, as is usually the case.
