Three Palestinian citizens sustained wounds and bruises Tuesday after settlers attacked them in the Zaatra wilderness east of Bethlehem, Shehab Wire reported. The assailants also targeted homes in the al-Haswa area within Zaatra. Local sources confirmed the injuries but did not specify the extent of medical treatment required.
Zaatra, a rural district southeast of Bethlehem, has seen recurring confrontations between Palestinian residents and Israeli settlers in recent months. Tuesday's attack added to a documented pattern of settler violence against Palestinians in the area, including property damage and physical assault on civilian residents attempting to access their land and homes.
