A Palestinian man sustained injuries today after extremist Israeli settlers hurled stones at his vehicle while he was driving near the village of Al-Jaba’a, near the city of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, according to local sources. Diab Mashaaleh, the mayor of the village, told WAFA that a group of Israeli settlers from the colonial settlement of Bayt Ayin, nearby, attacked Palestinian vehicles with stones near the village, smashing the windshields of at least one vehicle and injuring its driver by a stone in his head. The driver was rushed to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. Over the past four weeks, there has been a noticeable rise in Israeli settler violence against Palestinians and their properties across the occupied West Bank over the past week. The Israeli occupation army has been turning a blind eye to most of these terror acts.
