Settlers destroy vines and lands near Bethlehem

Owners of the land in al-Khader were surprised when on Monday morning, settlers entered the area, dug a trench and a trail, thus destroying about 50 vines in the process. This comes at the heels of recent land expropriations which settlers have taken over and now beginning to built structures and inhabit them in order to establish a new outpost.

Hundreds of Palestinians, Israelis and internationals demonstrated in Susya

Hundreds gathered today in Susya, southeast of Hebron, to protest the impending demolition of the village and in show of solidarity with local inhabitants. The protest was organized by a coalition of organizations (Solidarity, Ta’ayush, Tarabut, Rabbis for Human Rights) in coordination with the local committee. In addition, members of the Hebron Defense Committee and delegates from Bil’in were in attendance. Protesters marched from the current location of the village to lands that had been previously expropriated, carrying Palestinian flags and banners, and chanting in Arabic, Hebrew and English, where they were met with several IOF jeeps and foot soldiers and police officers, who brutally tried to suppress the march and push them back towards the village. When protesters stood their ground the IOF used stun grenades and tear gas, which caused several injuries, including one 18 year old Israeli activist who was rushed to the hospital sustaining a head injury from a stun grenade. A skunk truck was also present, and although it was constantly aiming at protesters to intimidate them, the IOF refrained from actually using it.
