Armed Israeli settlers storm the village of Al-Rakeez in the Masafer Yatta region, south of Hebron, and intimate local Palestinian residents.

Archivist Notes: Settler harassment in Rakeez (Masafer Yatta)

Masafering thread translation : "Under the Israeli apartheid regime, a settler invasion of Palestinian land is grounds for arrest—of the Palestinian, of course. Yesterday in the village of Rakeez, settlers with a flock invaded the yard of an elderly resident's home and let their sheep graze on his crops. When he approached them, they struck him on the head. Residents called the police and an ambulance, but the army arrived and blocked the ambulance from passing.

When the police finally arrived, they told the Palestinian man he could come to file a complaint. However, when he reached the police station, he was arrested and held for hours. One of the settlers involved in the incident is known as Amichai Shiloah, the founder of the “Havat Droma” outpost—a figure infamous for his efforts to ethnically cleanse the residents of Masafer Yatta.

As usual, the settlers faced no consequences. How can one expect a regime that sends settlers to take over Palestinian land to punish them for doing so? For the assaulted and arrested resident, settler and authority violence is nothing new. Last March, soldiers raided his home and assaulted a family member. The police refused to intervene".
