Settlers attack IDF jeep driving Palestinian children from school

[Scurrilous]

<snip>

"Residents of the West Bank settlement of Maon, located in the southern Hebron Hills, renewed their efforts on Saturday to prevent Palestinian children from traveling to and from school.

The settlers threw stones and eggs at an Israel Defense Forces jeep accompanying Palestinian children from school to their village of Hirbat Al-Tuwani. Despite the fact that a large police and military force was called to the scene, no arrests were made.

The settlers, along with residents of the nearby outpost of Havat Maon, are involved in an ongoing effort to prevent the passage of children to and from school through settlement property.

The IDF and police provide security jeeps to accompany and protect the children. However, the children's parents have been attacked on four separate occasions in the past week while trying to facilitate the travel.

On Saturday afternoon, IDF soldiers drove five children home for fear of their being attacked. Next to Maon's chicken coops, dozens of settler adults and youth ambushed the armored vehicle, surrounding it and pounding it with stones and eggs."

One farmer, Abu Jihad, told Ynet: "I was there with another 11 farmers, when the settlers arrived and demanded that we get out of our land. They fired in the air and then set the dog upon my 26-year-old nephew, who required medical attention."
