"This morning, Monday, 17 March 2025, at around 7:00 A.M., masked Israeli settlers armed with clubs arrived near the village of Susiya in Masafer Yatta and began throwing stones at village residents who were herding sheep in the area. More residents gathered at the scene, including B'Tselem field researcher Naser Nawaj'ah, who came to document the incident and called the police. In an attempt to defend themselves, the residents threw stones toward the attackers. During the incident, soldiers passed by in a civilian vehicle. They observed the event without intervening and continued driving. After about half an hour, a police officer arrived, allowed the settlers to leave, and detained Nawaj'ah in a police car for about an hour. Two residents were injured by stones in the attack. "I went over to the officer and complained that they were letting the settlers escape," said Nawaj'ah. "The officer ignored me, but I insisted. He said to me angrily, 'You're under arrest,' and put me in the police car. We have lost our sense of security and safety. We are judged for simply existing on our own land. This is what happens when the victim becomes the accused."" - Source
