Script:

This is an attack on a Bedouin community near the village of Mukhmas in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. The attackers are the “Hilltop Youth” – a violent group of Israeli settlers.

The footage was filmed by Lisa, a member of Torat Zedek, a volunteer activist group that documents human rights violations against the Palestinian population in the West Bank. On October 25, Lisa returned to Haifa with a broken arm and a head injury. Another injured activist was taken to hospital with a liver hemorrhage.

In the past, activists weren't beaten. But I quickly realized that they didn't care who I was. And as I ran past that gate, they hit me from both sides with sticks and stones. I could already feel that my arm was broken, I could feel blood running down my neck. I turned around—you can see that in the video—and saw that the whole community was on fire"

Attacks by ISRAELI settlers on PALESTINIAN villages are a frequent occurrence in the West Bank. The Israeli police and army generally do not prevent the actions of the “hilltop youth,” even though they describe their actions as illegal.

The conflicts mostly take place in what is known as Area C, which is under complete Israeli administrative and military control. This is precisely where large parts of Palestinian agricultural land are located: pastures for sheep, olive groves – everything the Arab population lives on. Israeli settlements are considered illegal under international law.

After the attack, only a few men remain to guard the remaining buildings of the Bedouin village—the women and children left six months ago when the attacks began.

"This isn't the first arson attack. There have been two or three in Jaba. They cut off our water supply, came at night and cut the water pipe. We spoke to the police, to the army – they did nothing, just took photos. "

+++ELI POGREBINSKY, settler:+++
“They took water for their sheep. So we turned off the tap. And we're very happy about that. When I look at this, I see a cancer. The proliferation has become very strong. And the land is not infinitely expandable. These people should do well, but not on my land.”

 Pogrebinksy does not believe that Jewish youths would beat a defenseless woman. But he  says the actions of the “hilltop youth” are harsh, but effective.

"If you say you're against Israeli aggression, people immediately assume you're on Hamas' side, that you're against Israel. But that's not true. These are just people who care about human rights. I left after the war started and went to anti-war demonstrations in Russia. But at some point it became too dangerous there. I moved to Israel—and at some point I realized that the situation here is somewhat similar."

After the attack on the activists on October 25, a resident of the Israeli settlement of Ma'ale Mikhmas was arrested. Two weeks later, he was released and the case was closed.
