Footage from Hebron: Israeli military enables 5-day settler attack:
B’Tselem
documented a five-day (6-10 Oct. 2015) campaign of violence by settlers
against Palestinians in Hebron. Settlers repeatedly threw stones and
bottles at Palestinian homes near the Kiryat Arba settlement fence,
while Israeli security forces looked on. Settler violence intensified
after two attacks by Palestinians in Hebron: a settler sustained serious
injuries and a Border Police officer was slightly injured; one
perpetrator fled, the other was shot to death. In another incident, a
confrontation developed with settlers and Palestinians throwing stones
at each other. Soldiers stood by the former and fired tear-gas at the
latter. This glimpse of daily life in Hebron is an extreme example of
the imbalance of power throughout the West Bank, in which Israeli forces
back settler violence targeting Palestinians.
