A flock of colonial Israeli settlers attacked Monday evening Palestinians in the Tel Rumeida neighbourhood and Al-Shuhada Street, downtown Al-Khalil city, in the southern occupied West Bank and injured many Palestinians.

Local sources reported that terrorist Israeli settlers escorted by Israeli occupation soldiers attacked the Palestinians, flung stones and bottles towards them, and pepper sprayed them, in Tel Rumeida and Al-Shuhada Street, causing a number of them to suffocate.

Palestinians in the Tel Rumeida neighbourhood and "Al-Shuhada" Street are exposed to continuous attacks by terrorist settlers, who seek to displace Palestinian residents from their homes and lands and turn them into colonial settlement outposts.
