Two Christian Peace Makers Wounded in Hebron


HEBRON, - Two members of Christian Peace Makers Team were wounded Tuesday evening as Jewish colonisers assaulted the Team in the village of Sussiya, south of Hebron, witnesses said.

The International Solidarity Movement said Wednesday in a press release a woman from Sweden, Gabby, and a man from Austria, Sebastian, were kicked, pushed, jumped on, and bitten by while they walked on Palestinian farmland.

The internationals live in Sussiya in order to accompany farmers to their land, provide support for the community, and prevent attacks from colonisers. They were living in a valley where eight Palestinian families live, and staked their tent on the Palestinian-owned land nearest to the Israeli colony of Sussiya.

About 7 pm, two internationals and one Palestinian were confronted by two Jewish colonisers with their sheep at first. One of the colonisers began yelling and charged at the internationals and Palestinian. The coloniser attacked the internationals by kicking and pushing, as the internationals attempted to document the attack. The coloniser and the internationals both backed away, but the internationals noticed that the settler was calling for others.

Soon after, six additional colnisers, two armed with guns, and one Israeli soldier appeared. Three colonisers jumped on the Austrian man, grabbing his camera. The colonisers grabbed the Austrian man by the throat, hit and pushed him. They kicked him in the back and another coloniser bit him on his hand. While the Austrian man was pinned to the ground, the Swedish woman appealed for help from the Israeli soldier, who appeared to be escorting the colonisers. The soldier responded in English, "I don’t speak English."

The colonisers managed to steal the video camera that contains the footage of the first attack, before retreating. The internationals called the Israeli police to file a report, and while the police initially agreed to meet, they later claimed that they were unable to find the area and did not respond.

"I have to admit, I am really scared," said the Austrian man. "I mean, there is no law here, it is just gang violence and I don’t know what those people want, or what they will do to me."


Israeli Warships Kill Palestinian Wound 6 others in South Lebanon


EIN EL-HILWEH (SOUTH LEBANON), - Israeli warships shelled Wednesday dawn the northern entrance of Ein el-Hilweh Refugee Camp east of the Southern Lebanese City of Sidon.

Two missiles hit the center for Humanitarian Affairs of the Palestinian National Liberation Movement "Fatah", killing a Palestinian refugee and wounding six others.

The Secretary of Fatah in Ein el-Hilweh, Khaled Aref told WAFA that he denounced the Israeli aggression against Ein el-Hilweh, asserting that the shelling of the camp is unjustified and targeted innocent civilians.

Aref called on the international community to immediately intervene to stop the massacres carried out by Israeli military forces in Lebanon and Palestine and to pressurise the Israeli government to implement the resolutions of international legitimacy and to stop its aggression against innocents.
