RAMALLAH, (PIC)– Jewish settlers attacked Nabi Saleh village, to the north west of Ramallah, before dawn Saturday and tried to burn a mosque in it, local sources said.

They said that the settlers tried to reach Tamim Al-Dari mosque in the center of the village but young men spotted them and threw stones at them.

Twenty locals and a French activist were wounded in the village on Friday during its weekly peaceful demonstration that was met with violence on the part of the Israeli occupation forces. The French woman’s condition was described as “critical”.

In another incident, Jewish settlers assaulted a Palestinian shepherd in the Jordan Valley on Friday afternoon for letting his sheep graze near to their settlement.

Eyewitnesses said that Mahdi Daraghme, 24, was helping his father in rearing the sheep herd during his holiday, adding that he was a student at the Arab American University.

They said that the settlers took the young man to the gate of the settlement and beat him up.
