Mohammad Abed al-Hamid Jabir Slaibi, 67, and his sons were working on their land adjacent to Bat Ayin settlement when a group of young settlers started swearing at them and throwing rocks, a popular committee in Beit Ummar told Ma`an. Slaibi and his sons left the area to escape the attack. Israeli soldiers were present at the time of the incident but did not intervene, the committee added. Settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank is routine and rarely prosecuted by Israeli authorities. gm Links to the latest articles in this section Occupation forces injure mourners following funeral of slain infant Mohammad Tamimi Nabi Saleh village assaulted - toddler shot in the head died in hospital Palestinians in the snow: thrown from home into the snow, throw snowballs and get arrested
