Illegal Israeli settlers today assaulted a group of Palestinian children in the vicinity of the Ibrahimi Mosque, in the old town of Hebron in the southern West Bank, according to local sources.

Witnesses told WAFA that the fanatic settlers beat up a group of children outside the mosque and in the full watch of Israeli occupation soldiers, who did nothing to stop the assault.

Israeli settler violence against Palestinians and their property is commonplace in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli occupation authorities.

There are over 650,000 Israeli settlers illegally occupying portions of the West Bank in violation of international law and established norms prohibiting the relocation of the occupying power’s civil population to the land of the occupied.
