Video Shows Israeli Settler Clubbing Elderly Palestinian Woman Harvesting Olives
A video of a Jewish settler attack on Palestinian farmers in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Sunday shows a masked settler using a large club to beat an elderly Palestinian woman who was attempting to harvest olives.
Jasper Nathaniel, an American journalist who recorded the attack, said the IDF led him and a group of Palestinian farmers into a settler ambush in the village of Turmus Ayya near the central West Bank City of Ramallah, on the first day of olive harvesting season.
Nathaniel said the woman who was hit with the club was struck multiple times and beaten unconscious. According to Ihab Hassan, a Palestinian activist with the Agora Initiative, the woman “has been moved to the intensive care unit (ICU) after suffering a brain hemorrhage caused by the attack.”
The same settler also used the club to attack activists who were in the village to provide protection for the Palestinian farmers, injuring at least two of them.
