Israeli settlers attack students and teachers at West bank elementary school

A group of Israeli settlers, under the protection of the occupation forces, have raided an area in the southern occupied West Bank, injuring a Palestinian woman.

Citing local sources, the Palestinian WAFA news agency reported that the woman from the Abu Malsh family sustained injuries and bruises during the settler attack in the Jourat al-Jamal area of the city of Yatta on Monday night. 

She was transferred to the hospital, where her condition was described as moderate, it noted.

In the southern West Bank village of al-Karmil, Israeli soldiers seized a number of vehicles and detained Mohammed al-Harini as he was trying to stop the settlers from confiscating his land, according to the report.

The regime forces, the report added, also detained Hatem Makhamreh and seized his agricultural tractor after assaulting him and his son, Ali, near al-Karmil.

Earlier in the day, Israeli settlers, some masked and armed with batons, attacked students and teachers at an elementary school near the city of Jericho in the central West Bank.
