This evening, Tuesday, settlers assaulted a young man in the Arab al-Malihat community in al-Ma'arjat, northwest of Jericho.

According to local sources, a number of settlers stormed the compound and assaulted the young man Ibrahim Malihat, causing him to suffer bruises, after which he was transferred to a hospital in Jericho.

Arab Al-Malihat is one of the Palestinian communities in the Jordan Valley that is targeted by settlers, under the protection of the occupation forces, through provocative raids on the residents, assaulting them, forcing them to leave their pastures, and attempting to steal their livestock.
