Six Israeli settlers have attacked and badly injured a Palestinian shepherd and his son in the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, reports say.
The Monday assault happened outside the village of Michmas near the city of Ramallah, where the settlers took away 47-year-old Nagheh Thanjbeh and his son in a car at knife-point and brutally beat them.
The attackers then stabbed the man in the head and broke all his fingers. They also fractured the boy’s hands and killed two sheep belonging to them. The victims have been shifted to a Ramallah hospital.
In recent years, Israeli settlers in the West Bank have often assaulted Palestinians and vandalized their property. However, the Tel Aviv regime rarely detains the assailants.
The Israeli regime maintains a defiant stand on the issue of its illegal settlements on Palestinian land as it refuses to freeze settlement expansion. Tel Aviv has come under repeated and widespread international condemnation over the issue.
More than half a million Israelis live in over 120 illegal settlements built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and East al-Quds (Jerusalem).
Human rights groups accuse Tel Aviv of ignoring complaints by the victims of settler attacks.
