Palestinians fend off settler attack in Bethlehem-district village
BETHLEHEM, Wednesday, December 16, 2020 (WAFA) – Palestinian villagers Tuesday night fended off an Israeli settler attack against Kisan village, located to the east of the occupied West Bank city of Bethlehem, according to sources.
Mayor of Kisan, Ahmad Ghazal, told WAFA that 20 Israeli settlers in three vehicles sneaked their way into the village, and pelted some of the villagers’ houses with stones before they were confronted by the villagers and forced to retreat.
The settlers came from the nearby colonial settlement of Eibi Hanhel, also written as Eibi Hankhal, established on lands seized from the village.
