At around noon, two settlers arrived in a pickup truck at some pastureland north of al-Farisiyah, where several members of the community were grazing their flocks, including three brothers from the Abu Muhsen family. The settlers ran over two sheep, and then came out of the truck with clubs in their hands, attacked Barakat Abu Muhsen, hitting him on the legs, and hit, chased and threw stones at the flock. Israeli soldiers and police officers, who arrived at the scene, drove away the other shepherds and suggested the brothers file a complaint at the Ma’ale Efrayim police station. A Palestinian ambulance took Barakat to a hospital in Tubas, where he was treated for bruises and discharged 30 minutes later.

Israel’s regime of apartheid and occupation is inextricably bound up in human rights violations. B’Tselem strives to end this regime, as that is the only way forward to a future in which human rights, democracy, liberty and equality are ensured to all people, both Palestinian and Israeli, living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.
