AL-KHALIL, (PIC)-- A number of Palestinian farmers on Sunday afternoon miraculously survived a gunfire attack by a bunch of armed Israeli settlers near the town of Beit Ummar, north of Al-Khalil.
Palestinian local sources said that the settlers were from Bat Ayin settlement in Gush Etzion and deliberately opened fire at farmers Mohamed Abdelqader and Ibrahim Adi along with their sons during their presence in their agricultural lands pruning trees.
Other local sources reported on the same day that dozens of Israeli settlers from Shiloh settlement escorted by troops hurled stones, amid offensive remarks, at Palestinian cars traveling by in Ramallah street in Nablus, adding that they destroyed a bus belonging to Al-Tamimi company.
In a separate incident, the Hebrew radio claimed that the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) rounded up Sunday evening two Palestinian young men possessing explosive devices near the village of Tayasir in Jenin.
It also said that the IOF kidnapped four Palestinian citizens wanted by Israel on Monday in Ramallah, the village of Jalbun in Jenin, and the town of Beit Ummar in Al-Khalil.
The Israeli police detained on Saturday and Sunday 170 Palestinian workers in the West Bank at the pretext of their presence in the 1948 occupied lands without permits and arrested 18 Israelis because they provided assistance to them.
The Israeli police claimed that four of those workmen were sent to interrogation centers after it was found that they were wanted by Israel, while the others were transported to the West Bank after pledging not to return to the 1948 occupied lands.
The Israeli police detain every month hundreds of Palestinian workers, who suffer from poor living conditions and are neglected by human rights organizations
