DAYS OF PALESTINE – A member of the French delegation said that the Israeli settlers attacked him and his wife in addition to the delegation members while visiting Al-Shuhada Street that was closed by the Israeli occupation forces more than two decades ago.
“The attack aimed at preventing us from witnessing the locals’ suffering,” member of the delegation said.
He affirmed that a group of settlers led by the extremist female settler Anat Cohen attacked his wife, in addition to a 11-year-old Palestinian child was walking with the delegation.
Israeli forces intervened and detained the delegation members including the injured child under the pretext of entering an Israeli-occupied area.
The French delegation threatened to submit a complaint to the French courts against the settlers’ attack that was carried out under the protection of Israeli soldiers.
Al-Shuhada Street in Al-Khalil city was closed by the Israeli occupation after Al-Ibrahimi Mosque massacre in 1994 during which dozens of Palestinian worshipers were shot and killed by an Israeli fanatic settler.
