Six people were injured after extremist Israeli settlers attacked peace activist rabbis from the Rabbis for Human Rights organization near Kusra in the West Bank on Tuesday. Footage released by the organization shows the settlers hurling rocks at the activists and journalists. According to the organization, a journalist and a Palestinian resident were among the injured, with the other four being Rabbis for Human Rights activists. One victim was transported to a hospital for a head injury, while the rest sustained minor injuries. The activists said they contacted the police after noticing the settlers gathering on a nearby hill about 90 minutes into the olive harvest. The settlers, who the activists said were armed with clubs, descended the hill and began their attack once IDF soldiers arrived. The IDF fired tear gas at the attackers, but activists said the settlers attacked again from a different direction, forcing the activists to leave. Israel Police said they received a report of a confrontation and opened an investigation, noting two individuals with light injuries were transported to the hospital.
