Extremist Israeli settlers last night attacked with stones an ambulance in Shuhadaa Street in the city of Hebron, southern West Bank, according to local sources.
Eid Abu Menshar, an ambulance officer, told WAFA that extremist settlers attacked with stones the ambulance vehicle he was in as he was on his way to rescue a patient in Shuhadaa Street area.
Other witnesses also told WAFA that some 15 settlers attacked with stones the ambulance at the full sight of the Israeli occupation forces, who did nothing to prevent the attack.
Settler violence against Palestinians and their property is routine in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli authorities.
Settlers' violence includes property and mosque arsons, stone-throwing, uprooting of crops and olive trees, attacks on vulnerable homes, among others.
All settlements across the West Bank are illegal under international law, particularly article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which establishes that the occupying power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.
