Young men in Tuqu' town, east of Bethlehem, managed to thwart an attempt by an Israeli settler to kidnap a Palestinian child.

Activists in the town told Al-Quds.com reporter that one of the settlers got out of his vehicle, which he parked on the side of the road near the Al-Khansa School, located along the street that goes around the town, and walked on his feet while the students left their school seats and returned to their homes, and a number of young men noticed the infiltration of the settler so they gathered around the child and  rescued him from an attempted kidnapping, so the settler fled.

The school complex in the town of Tuqu' remains vulnerable to many practices by settlers, including assaulting students, attempting to detain them, and sometimes attempting to kidnap them.
