"תיעוד של חלק מתקיפת המתנחלים הערב בכפר ג'ת. תושב הכפר סיפר לי שכשיצא החוצה הוא הותקף בגז פלפל. לדבריו, "הם היו כ100, רעולי פנים, לבושי שחור, חמושים וחלקם עם סכינים. זה היה נראה מתוכנן"."

From Haaretz: https://archive.ph/Oy3Eu#selection-1143.0-1143.520 Testimony of villager Hassan, a resident of the village, told Haaretz that "there were about 100 settlers. They were masked, dressed in black, armed and some had knives. It seemed planned. They didn't look like children, they looked like adults. When I went outside to see what was happening, they attacked me with teargas. They torched my car and smashed another one, and then they continued into the village, after attacking more cars nearby. The army arrived about an hour later, they took their time and let them do whatever they wanted."
