Safa news agency reported that the Jewish settlers chased Palestinian children and women while screaming insults at them. This incident ended with a fierce argument between the Palestinian residents of the neighborhood and the illegal settlers.
Settler violence has become part of daily life for Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli authorities.
