Friday, settlers attacked two boys from the town of Deirbalut, west of Salfit, and stole from them a sum of money and their cellular communication devices.

The boy, Ayoub Adnan Abdullah, 15 years old, reported that five armed settlers stormed the Wadi Al-Ain area and assaulted him and the boy Bilal Omar Abdullah, 15 years old, by severely beating them all over their bodies and spraying pepper gas in the face area. They were then transferred to a medical center to receive treatment.

Abdullah added that the settlers forcefully expelled them from their lands, and stole a sum of money worth 300 shekels and their cellular communication devices.

It is noteworthy that the Wadi Al-Ain area is located southwest of the town of Deirblout. Its area is estimated at three thousand dunams and is constantly attacked by settler shepherds in an attempt to control it.

Salfit Governorate has witnessed an increase in the frequency of settler attacks since the beginning of this year
