BBC - West Bank attack filmed
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7451691.stm

The BBC has obtained footage of Palestinians being attacked close to a Jewish settlement in the West Bank by a group of masked men wielding baseball bats.
The footage was shot on a camera that was provided by an Israeli human rights group to enable Palestinians to get proof of attacks.

1. More settler news:
Left-wing activists, settlers clash in Hebron

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3555263,00.ht...

Leftist group's tour in West Bank city comes to abrupt end after dozens of right-wing activists, settlers block bus' way. Security concerns prompt police to cancel tour's permit

<snip>

"A tour of the West Bank city of Hebron, organized Friday by the Breaking the Silence group, was cut short after settlers stopped the bus in its tracks upon entering the city.

Security concerns then prompted the police to cancel the tour's permit.No injuries or damage were reported, and no arrests were made.

Though authorized by both the police and the IDF, the tour met several dozen right-wing settlers, as well as extreme-right activists Itamar Ben Gvir, Baruch Marzel and Noam Federman, which literally stood before the bus at the entryway to Kiryat Arba, for approximately two hours.

"We had 15 policemen (on the scene) and no one did anything. None of the settlers were arrested. The IDF didn’t send in backup either to get us out of there, even though this is supposed to be a restricted military area," Yehuda Shaul, one of Breaking the Silence's activists told Ynet.

"This was a surrender to violence. We will make the police enforce the court order (allowing the groups to visit the city)," he added."

<snip>

"Breaking the Silence is an organization which archives testimonies of IDF soldier who have served during the Second Intifada, while dedicating resource to bringing cases of abuse, looting and vandalism to light."
