According to Khairy Hannou, an activist in the Popular Resistance Committees, Al-Tabib had a foot amputated at a local hospital following the aggression.
“Dozens of settlers gathered to attack the Palestinian protesters and seize Palestinian flags,” explained Hannoun. “The [Israeli] soldiers also attacked the Palestinians, even though they were the victims. Soldiers fired gas and stun grenades at them, which led to breathing problems for some.”
The peaceful protest had been called by Fatah, the Popular Committee against the Wall and Settlements, the National Action Committees, and local committees in response to the repeated attacks by the occupation army and settlers against the local Palestinians.
